SECURITY SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY’S ENVIRONMENT

ALARM VERIFICATION   - HOW DOES IT WORK?

In providing alarm systems and alarm response to commercial premises, it became evident that despite the sophistication of the alarm system and response crews, clients were still vulnerable to successful break-ins unless they are prepared to open up their premises at odd hours to check inside after an alarm activation.

Apart from the obvious danger to management, driving to their premises at 3am, the frustration and inconvenience this causes is immeasurable. The situation is further compounded when such is caused by a false alarm.

Our Technical Team (who helped formulate the alarm technical standards for the Kenya Security Industry Association and Kenya Bureau of Standards) decided to come up with a simple inexpensive method of seeing, hearing and recording events within the premises, when the alarm response crew arrives on site.

Upon arrival, we externally power up the cameras located within your premises and look, listen and record the event.  When we confirm there is no signs of break in and no internal presence of would be thieves, we run a test on the alarm transmitter, record the event, which includes a time and date generated recording and depart.

We are safe in the knowledge that the alarm is working within your chosen high security areas and will only call your emergency contact if required. If the premises are not guarded by B.M. Security, either our response vehicle will periodically check for the remainder of the evening or a uniformed guard will be left on site until the following morning.

In the event of our cameras detecting intrusion, we will immediately surround the building, bring in armed Kenya Police Force Officers and contact you direct to open the building. The same will apply if we find any camera has been deliberately disabled.

We will keep recordings of all events for a 30-day period for your perusal if required.

Where necessary, we also have the ability to install our own externally switched 12V D.C. floodlights to improve camera vision in areas of darkness. The effective field of view for our cameras is 30m+ dependant upon prevailing lighting conditions.

It is not our intention to provide absolute internal coverage of the premises.  With your assistance, we would wish to select certain key areas, which are essential, to your day-to-day operations. It is worth reconfirming that the cameras we use have the ability to “see and hear” with an added audio function, allowing the car commander to speak to any intruder within the field of view.

Our goal is to provide you with total peace of mind whilst providing an unequalled level of maximum security for our commercial customers.

Sensor alarm signaling
We have developed a high security option to provide our clients with specific information relating to alarm signals. What this means is we are able to simultaneously monitor each and every sensor within your premises and can identify exactly which sensor or sensors have been tripped.

For example, if a gecko crawled over a sensor protecting the toilet area of your premises the alarm would activate, upon arrival of the response crews they would see that the perimeter of the premises was secure and be left with no option, other than request the key holder to attend to verify the cause of the activation.

With our system, we would monitor all sensors, from the initial alarm signal we can discern a second signal caused by a sensor in the office corridor, then a further signal caused by the sensor in the MDs office. It would be clear to our control room and response crews, that such movement can only be attributed to intruders.

In essence we don’t just inform a client the alarm has activated, we provide essential alarm signal information that ensures our clients do not put themselves at risk by attending false alarms at 3 am, as is often the case with the majority of our competitors.

This type of service can be provided at comparable rates with all KSIA approved companies, we can make use of any existing security system and will only need to change your control panel to provide the service.

In today’s climate of insecurity it makes good sense to protect your property properly and not run the risk of attending needless false alarms at odd hours.

AUDIO VISUAL SURVEILLANCE
FED UP WITH FALSE ALARMS?
If you think all alarm response companies are more or less the same, then there are a few things you really need to know.

Being called to open up your premises for checking unknown alarm activation is an all too familiar experience for Directors or management of commercial premises.

Backed by the largest fleet of response vehicles in the Industrial Area, we have the technical ability to “see, hear” and record events within your premises.  Negating the need for you or your staff being disturbed by false alarm signals and providing us, the ability of being sure when intruders enter your premises.

Our systems don’t just inform us of an alarm signal, they track each and every individual sensor within your building, allowing the opportunity of distinguishing a single false alarm from a genuine alarm caused by an intruder moving around. Our optional free CCTV audio cameras combine, to provide a reliable and cost effective solution for today’s security requirements.

The sensors we can provide are also very special, our anti masking detector sends a signal within minutes of being blocked, even when the alarm is switched off, a signal will be transmitted to our control room, allowing us the time to warn you which detector has been blocked, covered or sprayed.

We have the largest response fleet within the Industrial Area, which more than  doubles  the  majority  of our competitors, meaning faster response times and extra rapid attendance in an emergency.

Your Finance Manager will be even further impressed by our lower monthly response fees and free take over of any existing alarm system.
