Exel Trading International (Pvt) Ltd. a company established in 2000 offers X-ray surveillance systems and early detection equipment as a timely and essential solution to the increased security threat to public and commercial buildings dealing with the responsibility to protect lives and assets within their premises.
Public and commercial buildings and facilities carry the heavy responsibility of protecting lives and assets within their premises; Effective solutions are many but experts agree that prevention offers the best protection from risks, threats and security issues inherent in the layout and access to a specific location. X-ray surveillance systems and early detection systems are efficient, easy to manage and with the right equipment and support provide an effective and affordable solution to the problem.
Prevention as solution
Knowing about it after it happens is too late to prevent a crime. Prevention is, therefore, the best protection, clearly. Especially where human lives are in danger, and particularly where the danger is from Improvised explosive devices (IED), early detection and X-ray surveillance are essential. Surveillance technology costs increase as quality of equipment increases.in any building, some basic security measures almost always apply. An obvious but crucial need is to cover/control access points. Security is gauged from the inside out having best coverage, and solutions devised based on importance and value of assets. Given that security and safety can never be part time, any system must be continuous and consistent. While supplies and equipment could be sourced from anywhere in the world, it is local support that helps keep sophisticated X-ray and other surveillance equipment running without interruption or breakdown. It is important to have expert operators because proper combination of equipment with trained operator can achieve best results. EXEL in house expert team can mould any of its customer’s staff to be expert operators. This is where Exel Trading International scores over competitors. The company takes pride in its 20-year track record supplying X-ray surveillance and early detection systems to some of Sri Lanka’s largest institutions. They include a large number of state and private sector organizations, ministries, government departments, hotels, hospitals, airports, and factories. A resident team of qualified engineers carry out regular services and provide essential support and spares as part of the company’s warranty and service commitment. Establishing reasonable goals when you are planning a surveillance system is vital. Rathven De Livera, Managing Director of Exel Trading International explains, “A lot of people view a video surveillance system as a magic bullet, but once they’ve done this underlying planning and identifying what the solution should be, cameras may or may not be the correct solution.”
In fact, Rathven contends that cameras have become one of the most misused types of security technology because they make people feel more comfortable merely through their presence. While they may provide a deterrent to crime, they cannot prevent crime
Prevention and risk reduction
That is not to say that a surveillance system won’t help if something does occur. They can provide video documentation of security incidents that can be helpful when investigating crimes and identifying criminal suspects. In any case, it is important to keep in mind that no system is perfect, and that surveillance cameras — like any other technology — are prone to imperfections.
