Alarm Response Management
Mobile Integration: Advances in technology now allows alarm systems to be connected to mobile devices. Be notified of an alarm event within your hotel whilst on the go.
Alarm Monitoring: Duress alarm buttons are common practice for the Reception, Bar/s, Gym, Spa (Sauna), and Hotel bedrooms suitable for guests with disability. Mobile duress alarms provide peace of mind and meet welfare (Duty of Care) requirements in many countries. An effective solution for Housekeeping staff and Night Shift. In the event of an alarm activation, a signal gets transmitted to the Security Control Room, and the Security Officer on Duty can start with the intervention protocol.
The use of Bodycams in Hotels
The presence of the camera, which records evidential quality video and audio, has been proven to minimize physical and verbal attacks, due to the change in behavior when people know they are being recorded. It also serves as an independent witness to help resolve complaints and disputes quickly and fairly. Wearing a Bodycam during patrol can protect the Security Guard or the Duty Manager (Not suitable for all hotels).
CCTV – Ethical Code of practice
Surveillance cameras are no longer a passive technology that only records and retains images but is now a proactive one that can be used to identify people of interest and keep detailed records of people’s activities, such as with license plate recognition cameras. The Code provides a voluntary, risk-based approach to planning and implementing CCTV and allows each jurisdiction to determine and apply its own CCTV requirements. The background of the development of this Code is for counter-terrorism purposes (source: Surveillance Camera Commissioner UK).
