Residential Security Case Study

Challenge:

The owner of a large, high-value estate was concerned about increasing crime rates in the surrounding area and contacted enhanced patrol to consult on how best to upgrade their existing security measures to provide better protection for their family and property.

Solution:

Enhanced Patrol conducted a comprehensive residential security assessment. Our team performed a detailed on-site survey, evaluating the property’s perimeter security, access points, lighting, landscaping, and existing security systems. We also considered the surrounding environment and potential threats specific to the location. Based on this assessment, Enhanced Patrol developed a customized security plan that included recommendations for:

Perimeter Security:

Upgrading fencing, installing motion sensors and infrared cameras, and improving landscaping to eliminate hiding spots.

Access Control:

Implementing a smart home security system with advanced door and window sensors, biometric access control, and remote monitoring capabilities.

Physical Security & Entryway Reinforcement:

This included reinforcing all exterior doors with high-security door frames, reinforced door jambs, and long screws to prevent kick-ins. We also recommended installing heavy-duty deadbolts and multi-point locking systems. For windows, we suggested security film and reinforced window frames to resist forced entry.

Reinforced Areas/Panic Rooms:

Enhanced Patrol identified key areas within the home suitable for creating reinforced safe rooms or panic rooms. These locations were chosen based on accessibility, structural integrity, and proximity to communication lines. Recommendations included reinforcing walls, installing solid-core doors with reinforced frames and multi-point locking mechanisms, and providing dedicated communication lines within the safe room.

Surveillance Systems:

Installing high-definition cameras with night vision and remote viewing capabilities, integrated with cloud-based digital video recording (DVR) for continuous documentation.

Alarm Systems:

Upgrading the existing alarm system with enhanced sensors, panic buttons, and direct connection to a central monitoring station.

Personal Security:

Recommending personal emergency response systems (PERS) and training family members on security protocols and emergency procedures.

Vetted Contractors:

Enhanced Patrol provided the homeowner with a list of vetted and trusted contractors specializing in security installations, ensuring that all upgrades were performed to the highest standards by qualified professionals.

Result:

The homeowner implemented the recommended security upgrades, significantly enhancing the protection of their property and family. The reinforced entryways and physical security measures provided a strong deterrent against forced entry, while the integrated security system provided comprehensive monitoring and control, giving the homeowner and family peace of mind and deterring potential intruders. The identification and creation of reinforced areas/panic rooms provided an additional layer of protection in the event of a home invasion or other emergency. By providing vetted contractors, Enhanced Patrol ensured the quality, reliability, and privacy of all installations. Enhanced Patrol’s expertise in residential security helped create a safe and secure environment for the family.
