HS&S's security engineers have a wealth of project experience in identifying appropriate intruder detection system (IDS) design as part of a developed security strategy, and in the design, specifying, management and commissioning of these solutions.
Our objective is to ensure that our clients benefit from appropriate and cost effective cutting-edge IDS design solutions that meet the given risks. We strive to ensure that the correct solutions are implemented in order to fulfil the individual needs of a project.
From identifying the need for a IDS system, we develop ‘operational requirements’(ORs), that allow clients a top down view of what is required from the outset in terms of operational stance, employer and stakeholder needs, technology performance criteria and mapping onto a client estate etc
Once the ORs have been established and agreed, we further refine the ORs into a risk assessment that defines the specific security grading and environment that the system will need to operate in. These factors then allow us to engineer a solution that is mapped onto the client's asset. Beyond this work we develop engineering specifications, layout drawings and schematic diagrams, that allow the solution to be procured and then project managed through to witness testing and handing over to the client as an operational system.
After completion of this work, we believe that regular system auditing brings real benefits in terms of meeting the business security needs and operational stance. We are able to offer this ‘end to end’ service if requested.
Through our involvement with bodies such as 'the Association of Security Consultants' and the British Standard for CCTV we remain at the forefront of security technology and best practice. In addition to the CCTV system design, our team can also provide a number of associated security engineering services from concept and detailed design, through to tender specification and assurance, including:
- Intruder detection risk assessment for BS EN 50131 system grading
- Alarm receiving centre remote monitoring system requirements
- Determination of alarm detection technologies and verification systems
- CCTV activated perimeter intruder detection systems i.e. BS 8418
- Integrated solutions i.e. CCTV, AACS, etc
Our work on integrated intruder detection systems across many sectors gives us a unique pool of expertise in tailoring systems to our clients' requirements.
