Two-Way Radio Hire For Security Teams

At EARS, we provide two-way radio hire for security teams up and down the country. Clear and reliable communications are vital for security teams in any context. Since security teams need to be constantly vigilant of their colleagues’ observations and movements, real-time communications systems are necessary to conduct their job effectively and efficiently. If communication among your security team is poor, this can create liabilities for the areas or people you are seeking to secure. One of the most common and reliable means of communicating in a security context is an up-to-date two-way radio system. For security teams, classic but modern two-way radios or “walkie-talkies” can make all the difference.

Who type of security are Two-Way Radios suitable for?

Two-way radios are used by security teams in corporate office settings, retail stores, banks, colleges and universities, film sets, music and sporting events, airports, and even private housing estates. In any of these settings, it is common for different teams to have their own dedicated channels, such as the catering team, the sound team, etc. Providing your security team with two-way radio equipment will not only allow them to keep in touch with each other but will also help in relaying information to the rest of your staff regarding any problems or emergencies. If you have a permanent infrastructure or a temporary event that needs securing, two-way radios represent one of the most common methods of ensuring that no threats can compromise them.

If you choose to hire two-way radios for your security team from EARS, you can also incorporate a variety of covert communications technology to facilitate specific security needs. These tools, like covert car-to-car two-way radios, are ideal for undercover personnel or even private detective work. Our company has supplied these tools for a variety of clients including several government bodies.

What Protection Can Two-Way Radio Hires Offer To Your Security Team?

In terms of technical details, security radios use a secure channel for communicating. Each security team using two-way radios will have their own dedicated channel, with up to 250 different channels available and you may have up to a thousand personnel on a trunked network. Two-way radios can feature an emergency channel, which, at the push of a button, can give your message priority over several channels. Lone worker check-in options can be enabled which send out a distress signal if a member of your team does not periodically check in at a designated time.

For extra protection and privacy on these channels, you can use an encrypted and secure channel radio to avoid being listened in on. This encryption technology is even used by the military to ensure that their communications are not intercepted. Hiring a two-way radio system from EARS Plc. is a sensible choice for your security teams.

Larger organisations will typically have a more elaborate security architecture that is bolstered by two-way radios. This can include a larger command centre with CCTV and repeaters for long-range two-way radio coverage of an extensive area.

Numerous additional features can provide enhanced security options for unique circumstances. Video walkie talkies, for example, can be used to record or send pictures. This video evidence can be used in a courtroom situation as evidence, which can be ideal for security guards or bouncers in nightclubs.

How Can The Security Team For My Area / Event / VIP Benefit From A Two-Way Radios?
