Having the right security guard equipment is vital when working in Security and you have to make sure your guards are prepared for anything that might be thrown at them, figuratively and literally.
Being out with the public can be tough, that’s why Digitall Comms supply a range of equipment to keep your workers safe when out on the job, from the best body cameras for security guards to a range of security walkie talkies. We even have new products available such as Stab Vests and Slash Gloves.
We have gathered together information regarding each product to help you discover what equipment will work for you.
Catch It On Camera
Every second counts, especially when involved within a potentially violent situation or on a lonely night shift. Collecting evidence is important and plays a role in protecting you and your company if you get into hot water.
Security body cameras are a great way to move into the digital age. Have evidence at the tip of your finger whilst providing many features to assist in your duties. These include an emergency alarm which can be triggered at the push of a button, sleek and lightweight build to make it easier to carry, high-quality audio, and some security body cameras models allow night vision.
Keep Yourself Protected
With knife and sharp instrument crime increasing according to the Commons Library, it is vital to make sure all your staff are safe when dealing with the general public. Security guards have to be prepared for anything, especially a sharp weapon being brought to the scene.
Stab Vests are an ideal piece of security guard equipment to limit any injury one may cause and we are proud to be able to offer this extra support. Stab vests can also protect against blunt force trauma as well as sharp objects, offering more protection.
Don’t Miscommunicate
Delayed responses to the main office can cause confusion and Team B just aren’t picking up the phone. Maybe it’s time to replace your current communicating devices with a fast and reliable system without relying on them answering the phone.
Two way radios for security guards are a great form of communication devices. With many different models offering an array of features, we can help find the perfect solution for you. Easily accessible features ideal for security such as emergency alarm, lone worker, and instant connection. Your radios can be connected to different accessories including a radio earpiece which you can find out below!
No More Signal Issues
In addition to regular two way radios, you may benefit from using POC (Push-to-talk over cellular). Do you find yourself struggling with contacting your team at the same time? Or do they struggle with signal when on patrol?
Push-to-talk over cellular may be your solution, especially for Security. Working on cellular, Wi-Fi and 4G to keep you connected to the rest of the radio fleet nationwide. POC radio also gives you the advantage of their one-to-many system, communicating with all your staff at once, especially with the GPS Mapping feature which helps you locate specific radios and thus specific members of staff.
Loud and Clear
Hands free is the way to go! No need to hand-carry any device and your hands are free for any unexpected scuffles. Having a voice in your ear helps to understand any communication loud and clear without having to struggle against background noise to hear your colleague.
A radio earpiece keeps the communication flowing and makes it easier for the security guards to be kept up to date without having to have a hand-on the security walkie talkie 24/7. We do a variety of earpieces for you to choose from; from D-shaped, to surveillance, it’s up to you!
We also offer a range of noise-cancelling headsets. Specifically used for noisier environments such as club door security or events, to protect your staff’s hearing. You will also receive clear communication through your security walkie talkie.
