Security Technology and Innovation

American Security integrates advanced technology into our security programs to enhance protection, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. Our experts design customized solutions that combine remote guarding, virtual patrols, and real-time monitoring to deliver faster response and stronger outcomes. By pairing intelligent systems with highly trained officers, we provide proactive, data-driven security that keeps people and property safe.

We design custom surveillance and response security solutions to augment onsite security officers. Our command center specialists can remotely monitor a video feed using an internet connection to virtually patrol your facilities and coordinate a response with American Security onsite team members. If necessary, they can directly communicate with other first responders and client stakeholders.

As subject matter experts in security technology, American Security continually evaluates the latest advancements to support and enhance our offerings. From risk analysis facility scoring and computer-aided dispatch systems to remote security operation centers and robotics and drone technology, we leverage key partnerships with security technology experts to deploy the right solution for your environment.

A vital part of keeping your buildings safe and secure includes routine monitoring of your safety systems. Through cameras, sound systems, panic buttons, and lighting, our Peace of Mind Services program establishes a schedule to monitor, confirm operation, and report issues with all of your buildings essential safety systems.

Here are some of the systems we cover with our Peace of Mind Services:

• Virtual Patrol Solutions – Virtual Patrols increase the quality of service while optimizing delivery costs by reducing staff hours and the cost of onsite manned mobile or roaming patrols. American Security’s highly trained staff leverage our technology to securely connect with your existing camera system(s). Once connected, we conduct virtual ‘rounds’ within your facilities to identify potential issues such as break-ins, theft, vandalism and facility equipment malfunction.
• Remote Guarding Services – American Security remote guarding services provide efficiencies by utilizing advanced technologies and artificial intelligence, which typically drive significant cost savings of 40-60% less than traditional guarding services. Remote guarding enhances, reduces, and in certain situations, replaces conventional security methods. Combining the best of live, highly trained security officers with artificial intelligence-powered cameras and smart technology, remote guarding can proactively prevent crime before it happens.
• Remote Video Trailers – American Security has found remote video trailers deliver cost benefits and increases in officer effectiveness when responding to a deployment situation that was first viewed from a recording device. American Security is a leader in deploying remote video trailer technologies to supplement the efforts of our officers. Video trailer units often serve as visual deterrents as intruders recognize they are under video surveillance. The trailers are highly effective in managing remote locations, and, similar to virtual patrols, they are more cost-effective than mobile or roaming patrols.
• Panic Button Drill – A routine testing of panic buttons ensures the signal transmits to all desired endpoints and proper camera views are activated when triggered by a panic button.
• Security Camera Testing – Protocols to view a pre-determined number of cameras confirm proper operating status, and the field of view is clear and unobstructed.
• Network Sound System – All network speakers will be verified as operational, ensuring the appropriate pre-recorded voice messages or audible alerts are loaded and functioning.
• Lights/Lockout Systems – American Security will work with onsite staff to confirm strobes, sirens, and lockout features, and similar security features to verify they are operational during scheduled testing.
• Building Monitoring: American Security will review and identify building damage that can negatively impact safety or security, i.e., broken windows, damaged doors, etc.
