Secom - Electronic Security Systems

Secom is one of the world's leading electronic security companies, providing a wide range of integrated security solutions that are individually tailored to meet our customer’s needs. Having recently worked on several major projects within the rail industry, such as the new Channel Tunnel stations at St Pancras and Stratford, we have valuable expertise in monitored intruder alarms, access control and maintenance.

We will work with you to help boost public confidence in rail travel and deter acts of vandalism or criminal behaviour.

CCTV, INTRUDER ALARMS AND ACCESS CONTROL

All our security systems are tailored to your individual needs. We have expertise in the rail industry with regard to:

• Digitally networked CCTV systems
• Remotely monitored CCTV, ideal for lone workers and isolated stations
• Monitored intruder alarms
• Access control
• Integrated systems
• Physical security such as gates, grilles and shutters
• Turnkey projects
• Service and maintenance

SECOM’S ALARM RECEIVING CENTRE (ARC)

We have our own alarm receiving centre for remote monitoring. Our staff are supported by the very latest technology to ensure we are aware of any activation the moment it happens. Our ARC is directly connected to all UK police forces.

SECURITY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES (SIMS)

Secom can provide secure online access to vital security data. Our Security Information Management Services (SIMS) package is a valuable management tool for organisations with multiple sites and is ideal for the rail industry. The web-based information access system provides instant interaction and reporting, based on data received from alarm systems.

It allows security managers to monitor all their sites, and keep track of keyholder details, police Unique Reference Numbers (URNs), response levels and alarm system event history. Remote visibility enables managers to monitor activity that is key to their business and make decisions without necessarily visiting a site.

RAIL SECURITY-NETWORK SYSTEMS

As a quality service provider we see the completion of the installation as being the start of a long ongoing partnership with our rail industry partners. Our expertise in networked systems has led us to work on several high-profile projects within the rail industry and ensure they receive the best solution within their project timeframe and budget.

We employ over 650 personnel and have regional offices throughout the UK. Our parent company is based in Japan and we operate in 12 countries with a 43,000-strong workforce. You will be working with one of the largest electronic security providers in the world.

2007 SECURITY EXCELLENCE AWARD WINNER

We are proud to have won the 2007 Security Excellence Award for the best customer care initiative. Judged by a panel of security specialists – this recognises the ongoing success of our commitment to being a quality service provider. In 2006 Secom also won the Silver Award for false-alarm management in the large company category, after receiving the Bronze Award in 2004. Rest assured that when partnering with Secom you are truly working with an award-winning electronic security service provider.
