SECOM SAFE vs LWS Protect

SECOM Safe is much more than an app, it is an around the clock personal security service that is with you everywhere your phone goes. SECOM Safe is activated in a time of distress by either shaking or tapping the screen of your smart phone. Upon activation your smartphone immediately records a short video and audio clip, which, along with your exact GPS location, is immediately sent to the SECOM’s A1 Graded monitoring Control Centre. Our highly trained staff will analyse this information, contacting you, follow your emergency procedures and when necessary call the emergency services in order to ensure your safety. SECOM Safe is ideal for people working in a wide variety of industries, in which prolonged periods of time may be spent alone and/or in potentially unsafe situations. From mobile managers to healthcare workers carrying out home visits to engineers in remote locations, SECOM Safe is the ideal app to ensure your safety wherever you are and whatever you are doing. Crucially the fact that SECOM Safe is on your smart phone negates the requirement for an extra device, which is frequently forgotten or not charged. Additional functionality is provided through the Meeting Timer. The Meeting Timer allows you to set up an expected meeting duration time. Once this is done, a countdown timer starts both on your smart phone, and remotely at the SECOM Control Centre. This timer must be stopped within the set period of time in order to prevent the alarm being activated in the SECOM Safe control room, in which case the same sequence of events happens as in a standard alarm. If the alarm time needs to be extended a discrete push of a button can extend it in 15-minute/1 hour intervals. The meeting timer can be used as a simple and hassle free check in tool for staff when in remote locations or when going into a meeting with unfamiliar persons. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

A powerful, yet easy to use and easy to manage app based solution for lone worker safety. LWS Protect has a host of safety features to keep your team safe. LWS Journey: The LWS Journey feature allows app users to add a start and end destination, with the journey between the two being monitored automatically. Alerts or notifications can be sent to designated contacts upon arrival or if expected arrival time is missed. Evidence Recording: The LWS Protect lone worker app can be configured to begin recording through the users smartphone camera and microphone when a lone worker alert is triggered. This can provide stored, recorded evidence, as well as enabling nominated contacts to understand the problem in real time. 24/7 Monitoring: We utilize a dedicated ARC (Alarm Response Centre) to provide access to 24/7/365 assistance in an emergency. Two way communication is available via the app and/or lone worker device. Self monitoring is also available for teams that prefer an in-house response. Countdown Timer: A timer can be enabled to allow workers to enter a potentially dangerous situation in the knowledge that if they don't check-in before the timer runs out an alert will automatically be raised. Privacy Settings: User location can be hidden via the app if desired. Data controls exist to ensure user data is managed in line with user needs and/or company policy. Fall Detection: The app can detect potential falls and raise an alert. Mass Communication: This functionality enables alerts and messaging to broadcast to multiple individuals or groups, helping to keep groups of people safe. Geofencing: This feature logs when a user enters or leaves predefined high-risk areas. It can also be used to help ensure staff do not enter unsafe or no go zones. GPS Tracking: All our lone worker solutions have GPS tracking as standard. This means that help can be sent to exactly where it’s needed when required, even if the lone worker is uncommunicative. It also allows for greater transparency into where team members are.
