Human guarding costs are a significant financial burden on businesses and construction projects in Jordan, coupled with the potential for human error due to fatigue, distraction, or even collusion. Smart Guard service from Alkashef Al-Sareea offers a revolutionary solution relying on smart surveillance systems powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), transforming silent cameras into intelligent eyes that analyze, react, and protect your property around the clock.
Why Traditional Guarding Fails to Protect Construction Sites
Construction sites and open warehouses present unique security challenges. Human guards face several problems:
- Limited Visibility: A single guard cannot monitor an entire 10,000 square meter site.
- Night Fatigue: After long hours in darkness, guards lose focus and may fall asleep.
- Risk of Assault: Professional thieves may attack the guard and prevent them from reporting.
- Escalating Costs: Salaries + insurance + leave + night allowance = massive monthly financial burden.
AI: An Eye That Never Sleeps, Never Blinks, Never Colludes
Unlike traditional guards, Smart Guard systems are programmed to recognize specific behaviors with ultimate precision, working tirelessly throughout the night in all weather conditions:
Smart Analytics Technologies Used
- Intrusion Detection: Defining restricted areas (Virtual Fences/Hotzones) precisely on the site map. An alarm triggers the moment any human body enters, even in complete darkness thanks to night vision cameras.
- Loitering Detection: Identifying individuals spending unusual time (more than 30 seconds, for example) around the facility without a clear purpose—common behavior among thieves before executing a theft.
- Object Classification: The ability to distinguish between humans, vehicles, or animals (dogs, cats, birds) to reduce false alarms by over 95%. This means our team only responds to real events.
- People Counting: Monitoring the number of people in a specific area and detecting any unusual gatherings.
- Object Tracking: Automatically following a suspicious person's movement across multiple cameras.
Audio Deterrence: Stopping Crime Before It Happens
The most powerful feature of Smart Guard service is instant intervention. Once suspicious activity is detected by AI:
- Instant Alert: A notification appears on the operations room operator's screen with live video of the event.
- Human Verification: The trained operator confirms the nature of the event within seconds.
- Audio Deterrence: The operator opens a live audio channel to the site and announces: "Leave the area immediately, you are under surveillance and authorities are on their way."
- Security Escalation: If the intruder doesn't respond, Public Security is immediately notified with coordinates and video.
This "Voice from the Sky" completely disorients the intruder and causes them to flee in more than 90% of cases before any theft or vandalism occurs. The thief expects to face a guard they can overpower, but they don't expect a mysterious voice watching them from everywhere!
Comprehensive Comparison: Smart Guard vs Traditional Guarding
| Comparison Factor | Traditional Guarding | Smart Guard Service |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Cost | 500-800 JOD/guard | 45-100 JOD based on site size |
| Continuity | Requires shift changes (3 guards/day) | 24/7 continuous monitoring from ops center |
| Precision | Prone to human error and fatigue | Precise AI-powered digital analysis |
| Documentation | Manual reports that may be inaccurate | Documented video recording of every event |
| Coverage | Limited to guard's physical location | Complete coverage of every corner of the site |
| Safety | Risk of assault | No human presence at risk |

Frequently Asked Questions About Smart Guard
How much does Smart Guard save compared to traditional guarding?
Smart Guard saves up to 70-80% of human guarding costs. A site needing 3 guards in shift system (1500+ JOD/month) can be protected for only 100-150 JOD.
What happens if the internet goes down?
The system has a backup 4G SIM that activates automatically, and local recording on-site ensures no footage is lost.
Can I also monitor my site myself?
Absolutely! You get a smartphone app that allows you to watch live feed and retrieve recordings anytime.
How long does installation take?
Installation is completed within one business day for most medium-sized sites. Large sites may need 2-3 days.
Smart Guard is your security partner that never tires, never sleeps, and never asks for leave! It protects your assets more efficiently than ten human guards while providing detailed daily reports of everything happening at your site.
