secWatch MCU: Transforming Security with Advanced Video Analytics
The development of secWatch’s Mobile Camera Units (MCUs) represents a journey of continuous innovation, driven by rapid advancements in video analytics and smart security technology. Since 2018, when we at secVision Networks first assembled these units to protect outdoor commercial sites, our approach to site security has evolved significantly. Our initial deployment was at Westmead Hospital, where MCU001 was installed to monitor the construction of the new Westmead Central Acute Services Building.
From Basic Motion Detection to Intelligent Surveillance
Initially, traditional alarm systems relied on basic motion detectors, which triggered alerts sent to our security operations centre for further action. However, with the integration of cutting-edge video analytics, site security has transformed. Today’s cameras are not just passive observers but active participants in real-time security management. They can analyse live footage, detect unusual activity, and instantly send alarms directly to our Virtual Guard team, allowing for an immediate and precise response.
Real-Time Deterrence with Audio Challenges
secWatch MCU’s are equipped with onboard audio capabilities, enabling our team to issue live audio challenges to potential intruders. If unauthorised personnel are detected on your site, they can be addressed in real-time, significantly increasing the chances of preventing a security breach before it happens.
Beyond Surveillance: Multi-Functional Security Devices
Modern CCTV cameras have evolved into sophisticated, multi-functional devices that do much more than just record video. They can store footage locally, communicate with other security systems, trigger alarms, and even issue automated or live audio warnings. This versatility has allowed us to refine the design of our Mobile Camera Units, making them more compact, cost-effective, and aesthetically pleasing without compromising on performance.
A Comprehensive Security Solution
When combined with secWatch Virtual Guard Service, our fleet of MCU’s offer a powerful solution for monitoring and securing your site. Whether for temporary installations or long-term security needs, these units provide a robust defence against unauthorised access and potential threats, ensuring your assets are protected around the clock.
Milestone Achievement: MCU100
We are proud to announce that our workshop has just completed MCU100, which is now ready for deployment at the Chatswood Chase Redevelopment site in Northern Sydney.
