Just like any country, Thailand faces its own internal security challenges. These challenges are made even more complex due to the number of tourists that visit the country. With tens of millions of visitors to the country each year, Thailand is a major tourist destination, and ensuring the safety of tourists and the local population is a key concern. While most visitors to Thailand experience no issues, crimes such as theft still exist. Nighttime, event, and public transportation safety are a particular focus, and in this blog, we will look how Thailand can enhance its security using technology.
The role of security personnel in Thailand is still vital to keep people safe. But they must be trained in recognizing and responding to attacks. Security companies such as Guardforce Thailand provide well-trained security guards for duties in compliance with Thailand’s Security Business Act regarding Role and Responsibilities, Access Control, Emergency Response, Incident Reporting, Patrolling, and Customer Service skills.
But, however well a security guard is trained, they simply cannot be everywhere at once, so in order to have complete coverage, it is important to include technology into any robust security strategy.
To create a complete security strategy for busy public areas, there must be a combination of security guards and technology. The use of CCTV surveillance systems is a nothing new in Thailand, but these systems can now be made more effective by leveraging innovative technologies such as facial recognition, and video analytics. AI can also be employed into the system for better threat detection and quicker response times.
Take for example Guardforce Thailand’s video analytics solution. This powerful upgrade to CCTV surveillance systems leverages AI and facial recognition capabilities to monitor changes in the environment, and alert the relevant personnel to threats and potential threats. It keeps false alarms to a minimum, reduces investigation time with a centralized and searchable database, and reduces risks of overlooking suspicious or real criminal events due to human oversight.
It can be used for advanced object tracking, license plate recognition, dwell and loitering, people counting, and even queue management analysis, and demographics.
This is just an example of the kind of technology that makes an excellent partner for manned security guards, and reduces the need for large amounts of manpower to be deployed.
Thailand is undoubtedly a beautiful and vibrant country with many exciting things to do in its bustling metropolitan area. But to ensure the safety of residents and tourists, it is important that new technologies are leveraged to enhance the effectiveness of security guards.
