Physical security is all about protecting your personnel, facilities, campuses, plants, equipment, and assets safe from real-world threats. This includes physical deterrence, detection of intruders, and responding to those threats. Primary elements of physical security include security guards, security booths, fences and gates, video surveillance, access control systems, security lighting and more.
The best way to protect your employees and facilities from theft, bodily attack, vandalism and even terrorism is to have a multi-layered physical security system which will provide the needed deterrence, access control and perimeter protection, detection of intruders, and as needed, identification of problems or post incident criminals. In this blog, we are focusing on the primary purposes of a security booth.
One of the main reasons to have a Security Booth is to deter potential criminals from either targeting or entering your facility. Those criminals, thieves or intruders will typically choose the facility with the least resistance to theft or those with the easiest perimeter to breach. Locating a security booth at the entrance(s) of your facility forces intruders and potential vandals or thieves to acknowledge that the facility is actively involved in physical security. As a result, the presence of a security booth deters those would-be criminals from attacking your facility. In addition, having a manned guard booth enhances security response times as well as increasing the level of deterrence. Another primary purpose of a guard house is that the booth with guards and video surveillance can operate as a screening point for incoming and outgoing traffic and thus, can actively deny potential threats from coming into the facility. The third main purpose for a guard booth is that a security guard booth equipped with cameras and access control system can serve as a security hub for your facility.
