Major changes are happening at an unprecedented pace. Security has never been more important for businesses. As a leading provider, we closely monitor market developments and observe several key trends.
The evolution of video surveillance
Technical and digital solutions are advancing quickly, especially video surveillance with advanced video analytics. Opportunities to create value through video surveillance are increasing.
Artificial intelligence now enables systems that not only record but also analyse and actively respond to potential threats.
Cameras are getting better at distinguishing an animal, a vehicle, or a genuine risk. This automatic process is highly valuable because it removes the need for initial review by a control centre operator.
Technology also allows us to take on a wider range of tasks. For example, patrols can now be conducted remotely via cameras rather than sending a physical guard. In such cases, control centre staff carry out the patrols and only dispatch a guard if there is a security breach, helping to reduce costs without compromising safety.
The rise of integrated systems
The days when companies purchased separate security components without considering compatibility are over. In the past, access control, video surveillance, and alarms were bought independently.
Today, businesses seek integrated solutions that combine video surveillance, access control, intruder alarms, and more into a single system. We are used to our devices communicating with each other, so why not our security systems? For example, access control can be integrated with video to analyse number plates and grant entry only to authorised vehicles.
Integrating solutions increases efficiency. We often advise clients on component compatibility to optimise time, budget, and overall security.
Growing demand for safety
It’s not only technology that is growing. Services aimed at protecting employees, visitors, and customers are also in high demand. Requests for regular patrols in private residential areas or busy public spaces are increasing.
Safety officers bring added value that technology alone cannot provide: they can prevent conflicts, reassure people through their presence, and create a welcoming and secure environment.
Sustainability as a priority
Sustainability is becoming an essential part of security strategies. Businesses want solutions that are both effective and environmentally responsible.
Security services fall within clients’ Scope 3 emissions, so environmental requirements are increasingly common. These may include using electric vehicles, energy-efficient equipment, or optimised procedures such as video verification of alarms before dispatching a patrol.
We integrate these expectations into our services to provide security solutions that combine protection, sustainability, and performance—positively contributing to both safety and business success.
