GPS Verification
The use of satellite-based positioning to confirm a security guard's physical location during clock-in, clock-out, and patrol activities. Prevents buddy-punching and verifies on-site presence.
Perimeter Security
The protection of a site's outer boundary using a combination of physical barriers, sensors, cameras, patrols, and drone surveillance to detect and deter unauthorised entry.
Intrusion Detection
Systems and processes that detect unauthorised entry into a secured area. Combines physical sensors (PIR, fence vibration, thermal cameras) with AI-powered analysis to reduce false alarms.
Common Operating Picture (COP)
A real-time, unified visual display of all deployed security assets — guards, cameras, sensors, and vehicles — on a single map. Provides operators with complete situational awareness across multiple sites simultaneously.
