the surrounding area . Vizual Security will , for example , look at specific topographical features of the property ’ s location , such as water around the perimeter , whether the estate is set on a slope , and the type of landscape in which it is situated . The aim is to analyse what potential risks these physical aspects may present .
After a comprehensive risk assessment , the perimeter security is installed , along with the key access points and surveillance equipment . It is important to note that all Vizual Security installations are completed 100 % by their own in-house team . Once the security infrastructure has been established and the necessary hardware installed , it is all supported by state-of-the art electronics . The analytics software used for the perimeter security , access control points and security surveillance is a key feature . Vizual Security invests a great deal of time in “ training ” the CCTV analytics software to recognise potential breaches in the system . Once the equipment has been “ trained ”, the analytics software won ’ t set off an alarm if the CCTV cameras pick up the image of , say , a bird . It will , however , activate an alarm if it detects a human intruder breaching the perimeter . That is why the learning period is so significant . This system works particulary well in conjunction with the latest state-ofthe-art thermal technology and CCTV cameras .
All estates secured by Vizual Security are monitored from the company ’ s state-of-the art Intelligence Centre which is backed by a fully functional standby Intelligence Centre , and serves as a form of redundancy to the main Intelligence centre . The human element plays a key role in security and during the implementation phase of the system , a mini control room is established inside the security guardhouse . The estate manager has viewing rights as well , but the heart of the security system essentially lies at Vizual Security ’ s off-site Intelligence Centre . Here highly trained personnel who are qualified to recognise threats and act on them immediately , are able to notify the estate ’ s security supervisor along with a standby reaction team to respond to these threats . Vizual Security ’ s use of the most advanced technology allows for potential threats or breaches in the perimeter to
