MAKING
YOUR
WORLD
A BETTER PLACE
TO LIVE
Security is more than just creating a barrier and controlling access. It’s a
relationship that – at its best – so seamlessly integrates vast amounts of data that
it almost seems not to exist. And that’s what we at Servest pride ourselves in –
creating whole-view solutions for every aspect of your estate’s security.
Contemporary security systems consist of
a number of different elements, all of which
have to work together at optimum efficiency
to ensure the ultimate in safety and security.
Which is why we at Servest form strategic
partnerships with our clients to integrate
people, places, processes and technology to
achieve their triple bottom line and strategic
business objectives.
Tremendous technology
It’s been said that criminals are getting smarter,
but that’s not exactly true. They’re just getting
sneakier, which is why you need to stay at least
one step ahead of them. While the traditional
guarding and patrolling systems are still an
essential element in any security system, it’s the
technology that separates the has-beens from
the future-proof professionals.
Servest uses a secure management software
platform to integrate every aspect of their
security systems through dedicated off-site
monitoring services. The advantages are clear
– this combines the immediacy and comfort
of dedicated security personnel on site with
the security of off-site surveillance operators
who expertly evaluate all risks by carefully
observing and interpreting any activity or data,
and accurately predicting and anticipating any
potential negative incidents.
You can choose the level of off-site monitoring
you need. Most clients opt for event-triggered
monitoring or proactive remote ‘patrolling’.
The former system will initiate monitoring if an
alarm is triggered, either automatically by some
form of sensor, or by a panic button, while the
latter consists of regular remote ‘patrols’ in
which surveillance professionals will regularly
check the camera feeds. For clients requiring
a very high level of security, Servest also offers
continuous remote surveillance, which means
that someone will be keeping an eye on your
property 24/7.
Servest continually evaluates new technologies
as they come on board, and – if they are clearly
an improvement – promptly implements them.
