There are some things a camera or alarm can’t do
Cameras provide vital information to document situations and assist in investigations. However, cameras cannot respond to threats. There must be a human element to assess the threat level and decide the best course of action. Artificial intelligence has come a long way. Unfortunately, it has not advanced to the point that it can eliminate the need for human involvement.
Guards and cameras combined are the best option
Regardless of whether a place requires unarmed front desk security staff in suits and neckties performing access control duties or armed security guards in full tactical gear, our security guards are up to the task. Many buildings have building security cameras as part of their building security systems.
However, the most secure buildings are those who combine camera systems with men and women in uniform capable of thinking, problem-solving and adjusting based on the real situations encountered in the building.
Many property managers who understand the importance of building security, combine building security cameras with professional security guards to create a comprehensive security solution.

Security for sites with multiple buildings:
For building sites with multiple buildings, Urgent Security & Fire Watch can implement a multi-pronged approach to security service. Gate guardsman entrance points to prevent unauthorized persons and vehicles from entering the property. Mobile security patrols provide security patrols in the parking lot and paved areas.
If needed, guards on security patrol can operate all-terrain vehicles for areas with rough terrain. Bicycle patrols can be used for locations containing common areas and tight spaces that are hard to observe from a car. Bicycle patrols provide the security guard with a view that is far superior to that which is possible from a vehicle. However, weather conditions must be kept in consideration for patrols of this nature.
Many sites choose a blended approach involving different patrol methods. For example, while the gate guards perform access control and mobile patrols use vehicles, other security guards perform foot patrols of common areas and inside of buildings. When weather permits, mobile patrols can be replaced by bicycles. This is one example of a blended approach. The best strategy for each location depends on the layout and risk profile of the site in need of security.
When making a recommendation, your account manager from our building security company considers your budget. The most effective way to protect a building is by providing a guard at every entrance and additional guards standing at every door within the building. However, such a solution would create budget problems for most sites in need of building security services.
The culture and practical function of the structure must be considered. For example, if the place is a church, the security approach must be effective without taking away from the welcoming nature of the church. Regardless of the situation, Urgent Security & Fire Watch will make the right recommendation and provide the best security solution.
