KGPOA Security Info
In line with our continued commitment to safety and operational excellence, Killarney Gardens Property Association has implemented significant security upgrades throughout the park. These improvements target perimeter defense, real-time monitoring, internal surveillance, operational oversight, and incident management systems. The following report outlines these upgrades, their benefits, and anticipated enhancements for 2025.
Advanced Perimeter Detection Systems
To address vulnerabilities along the Dunoon border, new thermal imaging cameras and audio deterrent speakershave been installed. These systems significantly enhance detection capability under low-light and adverse weather conditions, offering 24/7 protection.
- Thermal Cameras: Allow for consistent detection regardless of lighting.
- Audio Speakers: Provide an active deterrent by issuing real-time warnings to potential intruders.
- Proactive Intervention: Early detection supports faster deployment of response teams, reducing risk before threats escalate.
Real-Time Monitoring & Rapid Response
The control room systems have been upgraded with enhanced analytics that automatically flag suspicious behaviour and generate real-time alerts.
- Integrated Alerts: These notifications are embedded into the control room’s workflow.
- Faster Ground Response: Early warnings allow mobile patrols to intervene swiftly.
- Improved Prevention: Enhanced situational awareness reduces the number and severity of security incidents.
Control Room & Operational Oversight
A dedicated security service provider now oversees the central control room within the park, ensuring professional monitoring and adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
- Professional Staffing: Trained personnel manage operations 24/7.
- Mobile Patrol Integration: Ground teams work in sync with control room operators.
- 2025 Upgrades: Planned improvements will strengthen communication between the control room and internal camera network for improved coordination and response times.
Enhanced Internal Camera Network
The internal CCTV infrastructure has been significantly upgraded to support both live monitoring and post-incident review.
- Improved Reliability & Coverage: Cameras now cover more key areas with better image quality.
- Transition from Wi-Fi to Hybrid Network: While currently operating over Wi-Fi, a phased transition to a dual-network model is underway. This will use:
- Short-range Wi-Fi links to connect to the
- Perimeter fibre network, improving overall performance and redundancy.
- 2025 Enhancements: Further integration upgrades will ensure seamless and efficient internal monitoring.
Digital Occurrence Book & SLA Management
Killarney Gardens is transitioning to a centralised digital Occurrence Book (OB) platform to improve reporting, accountability, and service quality tracking.
- Centralised Logging: All incidents will be logged digitally, enabling faster response and improved transparency.
- SLA Compliance: The new system allows for accurate tracking of security service performance against agreed timelines.
- Audit Ready: Digital records support compliance with audit requirements and enhance operational accountability.
The recent and planned upgrades position Killarney Gardens Property Association as a forward-thinking, security-conscious entity. By investing in modern surveillance technologies, real-time monitoring capabilities, and efficient operational systems, the park is better equipped to deter threats, respond promptly, and maintain a secure environment for all tenants and visitors.
