Key Holders

Key holders are often trusted individuals who have access to high value assets (either cash or goods), and include Security Staff, Managers and Assistance Managers (or a person in a position of trust), Owners and/or Employees of small independent businesses who are the first to enter and last to leave their place of work.

Unfortunately today, it has become the human asset who is the weakest link in the chain of very sophisticated security equipment protecting goods, and it is because of this that key holders have become a target for robbery and 'tiger kidnap'.

Lone workers who are key holders risk very high levels of violence from criminals intent on gaining access to goods. The risk of violence towards key holders and other security personnel attending premises in response to alarm activations is also soaring, and it is security staff in particular who are frequently targeted by the public and subjected to verbal and physical abuse; furthermore, prosecuting an attacker is often impeded due to a lack of evidence.

Solutions :

Voice recordings taken when an alert is activated can provide credible evidence against an attacker in a court of law.

Exact location of a worker should immediate assistance be required by using the GSM/LBS or GPS technology incorporated into the design of the personal devices.

Discreet activation of the 'red alert' alarm can pre-warn a workers colleagues about potential kidnap situations by alerting them to unusual working patterns or occurrences.

IDProtects ‘Amber alert’ function can be configured to activate at different time intervals, to which the lone worker responds. This gives the worker, their colleagues and their employers peace of mind that nothing untoward has occurred.

GEOAssists ‘Are You Ok’ function requests the user to acknowledgement at pre set intervals to confirm that they are not under duress. If an ‘Are You Ok’ request is not responded to within a pre set time then an alert is activated and relayed to support/response personnel.

Open voice channel provides dual verification that an alarm is real. This has the potential to minimise the reporting of false alarms that can jeopardise future police response.
