If you’ve ever visited Lagos Island, particularly the Marina area, you’ve likely noticed the towering structure of Wema Bank PLC—a bank that has stood the test of time since its founding in 1945, the same year World War II ended. Managing a large, high-rise facility like this requires careful planning, robust security systems, and continuous maintenance. Whether you’re overseeing a tall structure now or planning for the future, here are;
Five essential security solutions every modern, high-standard facility needs
- Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV)
- Entrance Control (Barrier, Turnstile, Visitor Management Solution)
- Fire Alarm and Smoke Detector
- Access Control System
- Baggage Scanner and Metal Detector
A comprehensive CCTV system is vital for high-rise facilities. Surveillance cameras should be installed to monitor all areas, including dark corners, parking floors, and other vulnerable spots. CCTV cameras provide continuous monitoring of activities, ensuring real-time video surveillance that helps deter unwanted behavior and improves overall security. Investing in quality CCTV installations is crucial for any facility aiming for high security standards.
The lobby is the first point of entry for any large facility, and entrance control systems such as barriers, turnstiles, and visitor management solutions (VMS) play a crucial role in managing foot traffic. Barriers limit access for unauthorized individuals, while a visitor management system allows you to schedule and monitor visitors with appointments. This layered entrance control approach protects the facility from unwanted access and enables a streamlined visitor experience.
A fire alarm and smoke detection system is essential for every facility, providing early warning in case of fire or smoke. Fire alarms can be integrated with the access control system to automatically unlock doors and create an evacuation route in emergencies. These integrations ensure that all occupants are quickly alerted and given safe egress options, preventing panic and promoting safety.
An access control system is vital for restricting entry to sensitive areas within the facility. It limits access to restricted zones like executive floors, the managing director’s office, and other confidential areas. Advanced ZKTeco access control systems use biometric solutions like fingerprint sensors and biometric fingerprint scanners to add an extra layer of security, ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter specific areas.
Security screening with baggage scanners and metal detectors is essential for monitoring visitors and safeguarding against potential threats. Baggage scanners can detect harmful items or explosives, ensuring that all luggage entering the facility is safe. Metal detectors help prevent unauthorized weapons or hazardous items from being brought inside. Together, these devices create a secure perimeter and a safer environment for everyone.
Why a Maintenance and Support Plan is Essential
A robust maintenance and support plan is necessary to prolong the lifespan and reliability of all security devices. Regular maintenance ensures that each system operates efficiently, preventing issues and reducing long-term costs. Whether you’re managing CCTV, access control, or fire alarms, proper support extends the usability of every device.
