Keyholding & Alarm Response

Our comprehensive Keyholding & Alarm Response covers:

CCTV Activations

CCTV activations occur when motion sensors detect movement in monitored areas, prompting the surveillance system to begin recording. This feature serves as an essential tool for security, allowing for real-time monitoring of activity and immediate review of recorded footage in the event of an incident. When CCTV is activated, our security personnel can assess the situation, determine if action is needed and respond accordingly to potential threats, enhancing overall safety and security.

What are CCTV Activations?

CCTV activations serve as alerts indicating that there is activity within the camera's field of view. They provide a proactive approach to security by capturing footage that can be reviewed later for investigations or monitoring unusual behaviour. This capability ensures that security teams remain vigilant and enable quicker responses to any suspicious activity.

Fire alarm activations occur when smoke detectors or heat sensors detect a fire, triggering the alarm system to alert occupants and notify emergency services simultaneously. This quick response is critical in safeguarding lives and property by facilitating timely evacuations and immediate fire response. Most are false alarms, however monitoring and responding remains key.

What are Fire Alarm Activations?

Fire alarm activations are signals indicating the presence of smoke or fire within a property. These activations prompt evacuation procedures and engage emergency services automatically, minimising the risk of injuries and damages during a fire emergency. Regular testing and maintenance of fire alarm systems are essential to ensure they function effectively when needed.

What is Keyholding & Alarm Response?

Keyholding and alarm response is a security service designed to protect properties and assets by ensuring prompt management of alarm activations and access control. In this arrangement, a designated keyholder is trusted with a set of keys to a property, allowing them to respond quickly to alarm alerts or breaches. When an alarm is triggered, the keyholder is responsible for physically attending the site, assessing the situation and taking appropriate action, which may include notifying the police or emergency services if necessary.
