Many security guards Melbourne get replaced by security systems, only for the business or institution to re-engage security guard services after a period of time. Why is this so? Because camera systems can only record loss or damage while it is happening, and alarms can only alert to a security breach already occurring. As an active deterrent to intruders, security systems can have almost nil effect.
People with mischievous or criminal intent know they will usually have enough time between any alarm being raised and a response being made to fulfill their objectives. Wearing a hoodie or motorcycle helmet is often enough of a disguise to render any video recording ineffective for suspect identification. Offenders too often get away with it.
Time and again the visible presence of a security guard has proven to be the most effective deterrent to intrusion, loss, damage, or any threat to the safety of workers, customers, or visitors.

Exclusive 100% Security Guard Alertness Guarantee
Only ILA security guards are equipped with Roboguard, the security guard monitoring system exclusive to ILA.
Roboguard technology monitors the ILA security guard’s vital signs, physical orientation, activities, and location. There is no risk of an ILA security guard falling asleep, becoming inactive, or leaving the protected site when on-duty. Roboguard also exceeds all OHS/WHS duty-of-care requirements for lone workers with instant ‘guard down’ alerts.
24/7 Monitoring of ILA Security Guards Melbourne
Some security guard companies have no real idea what their guards are doing during duty hours. Calling a supervisor every half hour or so is usually the only reassurance of a guard being awake and safe. It is no guarantee of the guard’s specific whereabouts, however, nor their actual performance of duty. As a fully-licensed security firm, ILA has its own state-of-the-art, fully certified 24/7 central monitoring station. Exclusive Roboguard technology will alert highly-trained ILA supervisors in real-time should an ILA security guard become prone or inactive. Roboguard combined with real-time monitoring exceeds the duty-of-care requirement in the chain of responsibility for worker safety, and guarantees maximised performance in guarding the security of your site.
