For many international families, London is one of several places they call home.
As the summer season comes to an end, some residences will remain largely unoccupied for weeks or even months.
The doors may be locked.
The alarm may be set.
The CCTV may be recording.
But who is actually there?
An unoccupied high-value residence presents a different security challenge from an occupied family home.
At VIS Protection, Residential Security can continue when the principal leaves.
Depending on the requirement, that could involve a single residential security operative or a dedicated team providing a continuous presence, conducting patrols, monitoring CCTV and alarm systems, controlling access and maintaining an accurate record of activity at the property.
It isn’t about making a residence look like a fortress.
It’s about ensuring that while the family is elsewhere, somebody trusted is still looking after the home.
When the family leaves, the responsibility for the residence doesn’t leave with them.
