In the old days, security was mostly done by humans and technology was very limited. Then, in recent times, technological advances almost took over the whole field… But people still matter! Is it wise to use both humans and technology for your security needs these days? It certainly is.
Robots and computers can do a lot of things, but they can’t do everything. They aren’t completely self-sufficient. Humans still need to oversee them, maintain them, and, oftentimes, fix them. Technology is helpful but it’s not perfect. It can fail just as humans can as well. But when you’ve got humans and technology working together, doing what they intend to do and doing it well? Then you’ve got excellence! And with security, you want excellence. You demand it.
There are automated security systems doing surveillance right now. And there are human security personnel also watching over people and places. Sometimes one catches something the other doesn’t– that’s why it’s good they overlap.
Security Guards Add a Great Deal of Value
Humans have the ability to be adaptable when it comes to making decisions. They utilize their experience as well as intuition to make decisions. Humans are also capable of empathy and understanding, and pretty darn good at customer service skills when trained and motivated. Plus, they can provide immediate first aid when needed.
Technology in security means wider areas can be covered thanks to cameras, drones and sensors. Automated systems may be set up fairly quickly when/where needed. They can also reduce the need for humans to be present in hazardous environments. And technology is really good at using collected data which can be analyzed for patterns, trends and even security vulnerabilities.
