Your factory is the heart of your operation. When its security is compromised, it takes longer to get back up and running at full capacity. This leads decreased efficiencies, high costs and lost productivity. Mitigating these risks is therefore paramount. With optimised factory security systems, you can rest be assured that your buildings, materials, products and employees are safe and protected guaranteeing you a peace of mind.

Factories and factory storage units are often an attractive target for criminals. With a high amount of raw materials stored including copper and steel, that is highly sought after by offenders and vandals.

How then do you reduce the physical opportunity conducive to the offender and increase the risk for the vandals being caught?

By deploying Real Time Remote Monitoring Services alongside your industrial CCTV security system, you can take advantage of around the clock security monitoring, reducing the risk of theft and ensuring your factory can run to maximum efficiency at all times.

Remote monitoring brings an extra level of security to your manned or unmanned factory units by providing always-on monitoring from an external monitoring station (also known as an external central station or alarm receiving centre).

Working for you when you need it.
Remote monitoring works in sync with detectors or industrial CCTV systems installed around your factory. When suspicious activity or movement is detected, an alarm is sent to our monitoring station (the Opticom Observatory) alongside live CCTV footage from the site. One of our highly trained security operators will respond to the alarm, studying footage for the cause and identifying the source.

When a breach of security is identified, the security operator will immediately contact the relevant parties, including you, the site owner, the key holder and most importantly, the necessary emergency services, as required.

During this time, the footage is continuously tracked so individuals that have breached the security of the factory are always under the watch of highly trained security operators. The virtual Security officers also issue a live audio warning, deterring the individual from moving through the factory and in many cases, causing them to leave the site.
