BLUE INTERNATIONAL
Alarm in Durban

Commercial and retail businesses need a layered security solution comprising internal and external barriers to provide an early warning system should an intruder attempt to gain unauthorised access to the premises. Alarm system barriers may include CCTV street surveillance cameras as an element of a secure precinct project, as well as internal CCTV surveillance cameras, electric fencing and traditional electronic intruder detection alarm systems, complete with outdoor passive infrared (PIR) detector beams and glass-smashing sensors. Alarm systems come with a number of fixed and remote panic buttons, which staff can discreetly press in an emergency to alert the company to urgently respond to the scene. The company has a strong national footprint of highly skilled, SA Intruder Detection Services Association (SAIDSA), accredited technicians and is an industry leader in this regard. Technicians are top calibre and trained to the highest technical standards possible in the security industry, to ensure that clients receive a reliable and efficient technical support service with a 24 hour turnaround time in major urban hubs. Blue International’s professional team efficiently manages a large 24 hour armed response operations across vast geographical regions controlled via the company’s state-of-the-art national monitoring centre. Commercial and retail clients can therefore expect the same high level of service delivery to all of their business branches regardless of location, and the monitoring centre exclusively services the sector and does not provide security services to any local residential clients. The control centre team is specially trained to understand the unique security priorities of the retail and commercial sector in a local context. Armed response officers are highly trained and dedicated to proactively protect commercial and retail premises to prevent financial losses but their first priority is always the personal safety of its clients and their staff. Blue International offers a range of CCTV surveillance cameras that can be adapted to monitor staff productivity or to enhance the security of staff and stock across warehouse, factory floor, retail branch or any other business premises. Blue International provides the latest high-tech multiple-device surveillance camera systems currently obtainable on the international security market, as well as mid to entry level cameras, installed to suit the requirements of medium and small sized enterprises. Another benefit of remote access surveillance capability is that managers can also access CCTV cameras from anywhere to check on employee movements and productivity levels on the premises. Remote surveillance technology allows authorised managers to monitor the premises off site from literally any location in the world, provided there is a suitable communication link via the internet between the on-site equipment and the off-site location. The Smoke Defender system release’s a dense vapour that debilitates and disorientates intruders making it practically impossible to swiftly flee with any valuables in their possession. Installing a Smoke Defender provides an additional layer of security on commercial and retail premises as it works as both a strong deterrent and an effective, protective crime barrier. A basic electronic access control system can be installed to limit access to certain facilities on the premises, to grant after hours access to authorised employees and to provide an audit trail of where employees enter and exit. An access control system is an efficient deterrent against crime as it provides an effective means of granting entry, while ensuring optimal building security. An access control system greatly reduces financial risk and can more than pay for itself through preventing just one serious stock loss incident per year. An access control system also saves time and the cost of replacing mechanical lock and key systems after an incident, when an employee’s contract is terminated or when lost keys need to be replaced. An uncontrolled fire can destroy an entire office’s contents within just a few minutes and raze a whole building to the ground in a couple of hours. Installing an effective fire detection and alarm system will enable a business to short-circuit any potentially serious fire disaster on the premises. A fire detection and alarm system will identify the hazardous incident, immediately raise the alarm and then notify emergency response professionals. Blue International offers a range of fire detection and alarm systems that can be adapted to suit specific requirements, such as the size and structure of a commercial or retail business’s protected space. The company’s team of dedicated security professionals can guide security managers regarding a range of the most suitable and up-to-date fire detection and alarm systems to suit commercial and retail premises.
