Property Management and Security

The owners and managers of our nation’s buildings have been charged with growing responsibilities for building security issues and the safety of building occupants. The managers of all buildings, whether they are government, public, commercial or multi-unit residential, must address the potential for threats to their facilities.

FocusMicro provides a wide array of consulting services and technological products to help facility owners and managers implement safety and security strategies. Building safety and security cannot be satisfactorily addressed by any one single strategy or tactic. The overall wellbeing of a building’s area perimeter, structure and interior spaces are best ensured with the implementation of a comprehensive security program that addresses all of the characteristics of an individual building. Some of the characteristics to be considered are:

• Structure characteristics
  • Low rise / high rise
  • single entrance / multiple entrances
  • Building age
  • Standalone / business complex / strip mall

• Structure use
  • Public / semi-private / private
  • Commercial / industrial / public service / retail / residential
  • Foot and vehicle traffice volume
  • Regular users / visitors
  • Destination / casual walk-through

• Sensitive systems
  • HVAC
  • Electrical
  • Communications

• Geographic location
  • City center / major thoroughfare
  • Business / industrial area
  • Hills / flat / bowls

• Community Presence
  • Preceived value to community
  • Upscale / urban / recovery

• Accessibility
  • Screened / unscreened
  • Regular hours / expanded hours

Security Technology

Technical advances made in recent years have completely redefined the security landscape. Video surveillance systems that produced grainy, black and white still photos never produced images that were of much use to law enforcement officers. State-of-the-art Digital Video systems from FocusMicro both meet and exceed the expectations of security professionals. Producing crisp, clear color video images, FocusMicro Digital Video Servers allow users to view current video monitoring as well as video history from any computer with an Internet connection or company LAN / WAN access.

FocusMicro Digital Video Servers can be integrated with multiple other FocusMicro Digital Security Solutions, including License Plate Recognition technology, Access Control systems and Perimeter Motion Scanning. All security programs that have not been reviewed within the past 12 months will benefit from an analysis of the technology available from FocusMicro.
