However, the client was facing challenges with the cost of the manned guard and sought an integrated, future-proofed solution to enhance operational efficiency, user experience, and reduce costs.

THE RESULTS
Opem began by conducting a thorough assessment of the existing security infrastructure at Jubilee House. They then devised a comprehensive plan to use the existing security assets, adding additional audio, allowing Opem’s in-house control room to speak directly to site and to integrate with the clients set up. This eliminated the need for a manned guard.Â
Leveraging their expertise, Opem created a future-proofed security solution that not only met the current requirements but also allowed for scalability and adaptation to emerging technologies.
The integrated system provided centralised monitoring and management, enabling real-time visibility and control over the security measures. Access control was enhanced to ensure a seamless and secure experience for occupants, while CCTV systems were strategically placed for maximum coverage and effectiveness.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
- Operational Efficiency: The integrated solution streamlined security operations, reducing the response time to incidents and enhancing overall efficiency.
- Cost Reduction: By eliminating the need for a manned guard, Huckletree achieved significant cost savings of £200,000 without compromising on security standards.
- Minimal installation fee: As Opem were able to utilise the existing security assets the cost for the work were budget friendly, without compromising on the effectiveness of the security measures.Â
