Security is a very broad industry with so many facets and layers that make up the security network. Finding the right type of security services you need is vital to maintaining a secure property or protecting people.
So many times our security team has seen constructions sites with the wrong CCTV security cameras, offices with the wrong security guarding protecting the reception desk. Or simply an event with a security camera hire and no security guard.
Although there is a need to save money and work with tight budgets the security services provided by the security company is completely wrong.
You need to know your security options
So many times you will hear our team saying “options are good”. Options give you alternative choices to get the help you need. Whether that be what brand of CCTV supplier you choose or the type of security you choose to have on a construction site.
Options provide alternatives to what otherwise might seem like a fixed solution. Don’t be hard headed there’s more than one way to skin a cat as they say.
With many options however does come some confusion. And this is where the security company you hire should come into play.
What security company should I use?
A security company in Sydney should be able to give you real, effective solutions to your problem. They should use their experience and knowledge to know what works and what doesn’t.
For example: A fixed lens security camera on a 600sqm construction site is nonsense. At the very least there should be a PTZ camera that has variable lens technology. Or multiple cameras run through conduits below or above ground. This covers potential breach points.
Security Services – Don’t Forget Your Signage
Security signage is another key issue we see with many sites across Sydney. Although a security deterrence may be present there is no signage to warn intruders before they breach the site. Signage should be visible at night and placed in security hotspots. Especially on a construction site.
So when choosing a security service use the security providers recommendations and don’t overlook their expertise. A good security company worth their salt has experience with security threats and neutralising those threats.
What security service should I choose?
The type of security service depends on your individual need. There is no cookie cutter solution to protecting people and their property. But if you followed step one and chose a good security provider you will be given the right options.
Security services and their categories are massive. They can range from bodyguard hire to a home alarm installation. The security services category is very broad. But in saying that you will likely be contacting a security company because of a threat or a potential threat. And this is a great starting point to decide which type of security service would best suit your situation.
Security Services – Experience Matters
Security Hire Sydney have been called to many situations. Some volatile and scary and some mild threats, which just needed a good CCTV or alarm system to diffuse the problem. The key to deciding is what is your biggest concern and dealing with this first.
For example: If you are holding an event and are concerned about people stealing your equipment during set up then a security guard is your best option. A CCTV hire may deter a thief but it wont physically stop them from taking your assets and equipment.
The above example was from a real case study where the wrong advise was given to a client and they had millions of dollars worth of equipment stolen. It was eventually found that the equipment was stolen by a competing business.
These types of situations happen all the time. Most businesses just don’t know how vulnerable they actually are! Your threats and problems come from all directions. This could be competing businesses for the same work, ex employees or even current employees and staff. A threat is neutralised through precaution.
And the best type of precaution is a good security service giving you good advise every step of the way
