Design

Risk Assessment and Planning
Our team will conduct thorough risk assessments to identify potential access threats and site vulnerabilities, the scope of the lockdown system is then defined, based on the size of the facility, occupancy, and specific security needs.

System Redundancy and Reliability
Ensure redundancy in communication pathways, power supplies, and control units to maintain functionality during critical situations. Use high-quality, durable components designed for long-term reliability.

System Integration

Integrate lockdown protocols with existing security systems such as access control, fire alarms, and surveillance systems. Ensure interoperability between various components and systems for smooth and effective operation.

Ease of Use and Accessibility
Design user-friendly interfaces and control panels with clear instructions for initiating lockdown procedures. Ensure accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities.

Scalability and Flexibility
Allow for future expansion and upgrades by designing a scalable and modular system. Accommodate changes in building layout or occupancy with flexible system configurations.

Compliance and Standards
Ensure compliance with local and international safety standards and regulations e.g. NFPA, OSHA. Address privacy concerns and data protection regulations when integrating monitoring and notification systems.

Supply & Installation

Strategic Placement of Devices
Identify key areas for placement of control panels, notification devices, and surveillance cameras to ensure comprehensive coverage. Make panic buttons and communication devices easily accessible.

Professional Installation
Instruct certified engineers ensure appropriate setup and configuration of all components. Verify network connectivity and power supply reliability.

Initial Testing and Calibration
Conduct comprehensive testing of all system components to ensure they function correctly. Calibrate sensors, cameras, and access control devices for optimal performance.

Training and Drills
Provide comprehensive training for staff and occupants on lockdown procedures and system operation. Conduct regular drills to establish an efficient lockdown procedure.

Innovation

AI and Machine Learning
Use AI-powered video analytics to detect and track potential threats in real-time. Implement machine learning algorithms to continuously improve threat detection capabilities based on historical data.

Mobile and Remote Management
Enable remote control and monitoring of the lockdown system through mobile apps and web interfaces. Allow security personnel to initiate lockdowns and receive real-time notifications remotely.

Geo-fencing and Automated Responses
Utilise geo-fencing technology to trigger lockdown procedures based on the location of the threat. Implement automated responses, such as locking doors and emergency service calls when certain conditions are met.

Integration with Building Management Systems
Integrate with HVAC, lighting, and other building management systems for a coordinated and comprehensive emergency response. Implement features such as shutting down ventilation systems to prevent the spread of contaminants.

Real-time Data and Analytics
Provide real-time data and analytics dashboards to monitor system performance, track events, and generate reports. Use data analytics to support post-event analysis which will improve lockdown procedures.
