Case Study

RapidCam as part of an integrated security solution

Our customer required a bespoke security solution for their 67,000 sq ft large warehouse, based in Leicester.

This case was managed by Vigilance, who became part of the Orbis group of companies in 2024.

Meeting our customers’ needs

Managing security for a large vacant commercial property presents complex challenges, especially when the risks of aggravated trespass, theft, and damage are high. This case study explores the strategic security measures implemented in a 67,000-square-foot commercial building in Leicester, which were designed to minimise these risks while maintaining cost efficiency.

Upon the property becoming vacant, the owner faced immediate concerns about its security. The size of the building and its location made it a prime target for trespassers and vandals. The need for a robust security solution was imperative not only to protect the property but also to meet insurance requirements and prevent potential financial losses from damage and theft.

Providing real solutions

A full security assessment was conducted to identify all potential risks associated with the property’s vacancy. Based on this assessment, a detailed plan was created to address these risks

  • Integrated RapidCam to monitor the perimeter 24/7 in real time, coupled with temporary alarm systems to enhance security alerts
  • Deployed Security in Residence Service ensuring immediate response capabilities and real mitigation against trespass and squatting
  • Installed concrete barriers and a GateClaw to prevent unauthorised vehicle access and deter potential intruders.

Results that matter

The security measures implemented had a profound impact on the safety and integrity of the property. The presence of in­ residence security personnel significantly reduced the incidence of trespass, theft, and damage and by integrating this with advanced technological systems, the overall security costs were kept low compared to traditional methods that might not offer continuous on-site presence.
