Partner with Elite Fire Safety/Sciens

With each new partner, we expand the reach of our VirSec Operation Centre, enhancing visibility and driving future business. This collaboration also paved the way for expanding our VirSec Operation Centre with additional workstations and an increased headcount. Moreover, it allows us to extend our services to states where Huffmaster does not operate. Given Sciens Building Solutions 27 corporate locations, we can help unify their security solutions nationwide and extend our expertise to their extensive portfolio of clients," said Scott R. Gane, CPP, President and Chief Security Officer, Huffmaster Protective Services Group.

We are thrilled to partner with Elite Fire Safety/Sciens,” said Ryan B. Okerstrom, CPP, Vice President of Operations, Huffmaster. “Integrating their innovative mobile security camera trailers with our VirSec Operation Centre represents a significant advancement in providing proactive, real-time security monitoring. This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering the highest security solutions to our clients.”

Partnership benefits

  • Proactive Surveillance: The Remote Tactical Surveillance Unis (RTSU) and permanent installations provide continuous, high-resolution video surveillance, ensuring no suspicious activity goes unnoticed.
  • Advanced Monitoring: Huffmaster’s VirSec Operation Centre utilises industry-pioneering software and AI-driven analytics to monitor live video feeds. This technology distinguishes between normal and suspicious activities, enabling quick and accurate responses.
  • Cost Efficiency: By leveraging advanced AI and remote monitoring, businesses can expect significant reductions in overall security spending. Integrating these technologies allows for a more efficient allocation of security resources.

How it Works

  • Remote Tactical Surveillance Trailers: Deployed across various locations, these trailers are equipped with high-definition cameras and advanced sensors. They provide flexible and scalable surveillance solutions that can be quickly moved to different sites as needed. The live video feed is transmitted to the VirSec Operation Centre, where trained security professionals monitor the activity and respond to alerts.
  • Permanent Camera Locations: Elite Fire Safety’s Security Division installs and services fixed surveillance systems in key areas. These systems are integrated with Huffmaster’s VirSec platform, providing continuous monitoring and real-time alerts. AI-driven analytics enhance the effectiveness of these systems by identifying potential threats and reducing false alarms.
