Securitas Personal Safety vs SECOM SAFE

The Securitas™ Personal Safety app by Securitas Technology provides an easy to use method of alerting your campus/company security team that you need assistance. Step 1: When you are in an emergency situation, trigger an alert through the app by simply shaking the phone, swiping a button in the app, double tapping, or entering a code. Your phone starts recording live audio and video clips. Step 2: Your campus/company security team is notified of your alert, your GPS location, your phone’s recorded audio/video clips, and your personal profile information. Or, if you prefer, an alert can only be sent to your list of pre-determined contacts. Step 3: Your campus/company security team dispatches security personnel to respond through the Securitas™ Personal Safety App. Security Response is routed to your location for assistance. Plus, use the Securitas™ Personal Safety app to ensure your safety in the following situations: Meetings: Schedule a meeting timer in the Personal Safety app, and when the meeting time is over, you can confirm you’re ok, or extend the meeting time. Your campus/company security team will receive an alert if you don’t cancel the meeting or extend it. Journeys: When travelling from one location to another, enter the final destination into the Personal Safety app. When you arrive, the app will ask to confirm if you’ve arrived safely. If you do not confirm, your campus/company security team will receive an alert. Man-down: Schedule a meeting timer in the Personal Safety app. If there is no movement for a pre-set duration of time, your campus/company security team is alerted. We are now integrated with the Health Kit to improve battery usage for location when stationary. NOTE: Your campus/company security team must have the Securitas Technology Command Center Portal and the Securitas Technology Response app for security officers in order for the Personal Safety App to be functional as outlined above. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Now integrated with the Health Kit to enhance the journey feature.

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.
