Securitas Mobile Utilizes Videofied to Prevent Employee Theft
Posted by Andrew Dougherty on Wed, Oct 21, 2009
Employee theft is an important issue for just about any business. But the burning question is, how do we stop it? Securitas Mobile is currently utilizing an alarm verification system called Videofied to identify and document instances of employee theft at a large manufacturing facility. The system works similarly to most alarm systems with a base unit, a motion sensor, and a keypad. However, unlike traditional alarms which provides "blind" notification, Videofied captures a 10 second video clip of the alarm event through a small wireless motion activated camera. This clip is transmitted wirelessly to a central monitoring station, then finally emailed to the client. This all takes place in just a matter of seconds which provides our client with up to the minute information and assists the police in the apprehension of the individual.
In addition to the camera system, Securitas Mobile patrols the office building and parking area to create a security presence and meet the client's insurance requirements. We will also be deploying a Tattletale Wireless Alarm to provide alarm protection on the entry gates to the plant and office building.
Securitas handles the setup and maintenance of the equipment while the client pays one flat monthly fee. In this instance the client is in the process of closing their facility and therefore, won't be stuck with the equipment when the site closes. The wireless features and relative ease of setup make it a solid option for temporary setups, but the 4 year battery life and durability of the equipment makes Videofied more than capable of long term applications.
If you're interested in having Videofied or Tattletale setup at your location, please call 877-686-0822.
