In many cases, security is of paramount importance for companies and facilities, whether it’s to protect stored assets, knowledge, or even employees. But how can the highest level of security be achieved?
How does alarm monitoring enhance the security of your facility?
You know that scene from the movies where a light flashes on the floor plan, and the security team immediately knows where the problem is happening? Alarm monitoring can do this too, as it displays alarms simultaneously on a clear, graphical floor plan of the facility, like a detailed list. Another important feature is when users with the proper permissions can remotely open or close entry points. As part of the alarm monitoring offered by Anteus Kft., the visitor management module also allows for efficient handling of both planned and unplanned visitors.
Using video cameras in practice
In a well-designed security system controller, it’s easy to manage and monitor everything. For example, on a dynamic floor plan, managing cameras is much simpler: switching between them, adjusting their positions, viewing live and recorded footage, and starting recordings during alarms are all possible. In the case of camera surveillance, there may be areas of the building where placing thermal or night-vision infrared cameras is necessary to track nighttime intrusions.
A common consideration is the number of analysis options available for recorded footage, as it’s important whether the footage is simply viewable or can be analyzed based on different criteria. A common use case is when images of specific access and/or rule violation events are saved separately, and the image taken at the time of the event is immediately accessible from the event list. This is useful not only in the case of criminal incidents but also for random checks. Our system not only provides protection for external circumstances but also makes internal monitoring easier. For example, when tracking work hours, our solution can also capture an image of the event, so it’s immediately visible if someone is blocking time for another person.
How should we position the cameras?
When placing cameras, the most important factor is ensuring that each camera has the best possible view of the area, providing full coverage. During the planning phase, it’s necessary to decide whether the focus is on internal monitoring, perimeter security, or both at the same time.
It’s important to place cameras both inside and outside, as this can often prevent a break-in before it happens or make it easier to notify authorities in a timely manner. A common question is whether the camera should be hidden or clearly visible to visitors, employees, and potential intruders. In fact, both choices have their advantages: well-visible cameras deter break-ins and reduce the likelihood of internal abuse, while hidden cameras make it easier to prove a crime or employee misconduct.
What are the advantages of using our integrated security system?
You can ensure complete security for your facility.
The systems related to building operations (access control, parking and visitor management, intrusion detection, video surveillance) can be displayed and monitored together.
More peace of mind thanks to real-time, visual situational reporting.
Security professionals tasked with monitoring and safety can respond to situations in the best possible way based on clear, real-time data.
The complete control is in your hands.
In addition to defining instructions, you can also tie the approval of alarms to multiple levels of approval. An event log is created for the staff’s work, and you will automatically receive notifications via email or SMS about the events.
Our system always offers new solutions to enhance the security of your facility.
It is flexible and modular, allowing for future expansion, such as real-time, map-based monitoring of patrols.
