As security threats become more complex for commercial businesses, so too do the possible solutions, at least in terms of how they are designed. In practice, the rise in technological security solutions makes it much easier for businesses to monitor and react to security threats, and this brings a whole new dimension to commercial business security. However, when you introduce K9 security into the mix also, this offers the opportunity to develop comprehensive security solutions which embrace advanced technology but also have the benefits of human and animal interaction, and the various benefits that brings.

Popular technology-based security solutions which have been rapidly developed over the last few years, include CCTV systems, motion sensors, AI surveillance, drones, access control systems and ANPR systems. These all offer additional functionality which provides a multi-faceted approach, and means security solutions can be tailored to meet unique and very specific needs, while also adding depth and meaning to the data and other content produced. However, when you add a K9 security team to this, it provides a combination of skills and experience that technology on its own can’t provide. Here we will look at the various technological solutions recently developed and explain how K9 security uses this and provides various security benefits.

Security technology our canine security can work with

CCTV – Whether temporary or permanent, CCTV systems now provide high-definition quality images for monitoring and playback. Where blind spots exist on a site, K9 security services can provide the complete perimeter security you need, and therefore can cover the areas that budget restraints or system designs prevent CCTV cameras from covering. This dual solution approach provides the continuous vigilance and 24-hour surveillance you need.

Motion Sensors – These can detect the slightest movement on site and can trigger alarms which dog security can react to. This rapid reaction can prevent security threats much quicker, and can deal with threats better than each system working independently. Motion sensors can also be used in training dogs to competent security levels.

AI surveillance – Artificial intelligence can be used to mimic site layouts for training purposes and to have better visibility to help with emergency and security preparedness. This technology can be used to predict and track movement so that dog teams are more reactive to security threats.

Drones – In a similar way to CCTV and AI technology, drones offer much more visibility for tracking movement and monitoring security threats. They enable dog teams to react much quicker to security threats.

Access Control Systems – As a means of automatically monitoring and managing movement into, out of and within a building, access control systems are a cost-effective means of securing entry and exit. This means K9 security teams can focus on site surveillance and perimeter patrols, while periodically checking data and images to monitor everything is OK and to confirm who is on site. Such systems are easier to monitor than relying on the human eye, and provide better information that can be reacted to, if a security threat is picked up.

ANPR – Automatic number plate recognition works in a similar way to access control systems, in that it reads vehicle number plates, records the information, and enables access based on authorisation status. Dog security teams can routinely monitor this information while patrolling a site to provide a simple overview of the security status at any given time.

Comprehensive security solutions and the future of dog security

It is always going to be beneficial to combine dog security teams with security technology for the best possible benefits, particularly where K9 security services can provide superior detection, superior reaction, and the ability to make decisions. This combination of K9 security and security technology can provide the most complete security solution available, but also provides flexibility in how a business can tailor a package to meet its exact needs.

At React K9 we have dog security teams who are comfortable with all forms of technology and who are trained to work with various different solutions. Through this we can offer dog security that provides thorough and complete site security for commercial businesses, vacant properties, site evictions and event security. So contact our team at React K9 and we can explain how we adopt technological solutions and can combine with them to provide peace of mind and the most comprehensive security solutions available.
