In today’s competitive business landscape, small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) often face the challenge of balancing security needs with limited budgets. However, significant improvements can be achieved through strategic investments in technology. The work that Securitas Technology provided United Hardware with is a prime example of how a modest security upgrade can yield substantial benefits.
A Tailored Approach to Security Securitas Technology Ireland, a leading provider of security solutions, collaborated with United Hardware to implement a cost-effective security system. They utilised existing camera systems, upgraded only where necessary & ensured all systems worked seamlessly together. The solution, designed to address specific pain points, involved the installation of a few key components:
- High-Definition Cameras: Advanced cameras were strategically placed to monitor critical areas, including aisles and external storage areas. These cameras are equipped with intelligent analytics, such as facial recognition, movement detection, and heat mapping, enabling real-time monitoring and incident response.
- Network Video Recorder (NVR): A robust NVR was installed to store and manage video footage. This intuitive system offers efficient playback, search capabilities, and the ability to track people, products, and vehicles.
The Immediate Impact
The implementation of this security solution has had a profound impact on United Hardware’s operations:
- Enhanced Security: The improved visibility and intelligent analytics provided by the new cameras have significantly strengthened security in high-risk areas.
- Operational Efficiency: The intuitive NVR system has streamlined footage review, allowing staff to quickly identify and address incidents.
- Cost Savings: The reduced time spent on security tasks has led to significant cost savings.
- Improved Decision-Making: The detailed insights provided by the analytics have empowered United Hardware to make informed decisions regarding stock management, order dispatch and employee health & safety.
Paul Candon, Chief Executive Officer of United Hardware, emphasised the transformative impact of the security solution: “Securitas Technology’s tailored solution has revolutionised our operations. The advanced analytics and intuitive NVR system have dramatically reduced the time our team spends reviewing footage. Having features like facial recognition, movement detection, ANPR, and heat mapping have helped improve incident management and stock dispatching. The new cameras have provided unparalleled visibility, improving our security and operational efficiency. We’re excited to leverage these advancements to further optimise our business.”
