Security system "Gulfstream" Bashny.Net

Recently, the company "GULFSTREAM security systems" invited me to his new office, to show how the work is now current security company. Frankly, it was a kind of break the pattern, because my idea of ​​the security organizations for the last years of his life in Moscow has developed a well-defined and is not the most flattering. At the headquarters of "Gulf Stream" everything looked very different and showed me the central monitoring station (the only such level of technical equipment in Russia) impressed.




The company "Gulf Stream" is already 16 years engaged in the professional security of real estate - residential, industrial and office space. Under the protection of security systems "Gulf Stream" there are thousands of apartments, houses and commercial property - in particular, the services of the "Gulf Stream" is used 80% of Moscow banks and even a representative of NATO in Russia.


Security systems "Gulf Stream" protects not only against criminal infiltration and fire, but also reported water leaks (remember their terrible ordeal of the bay in our Moscow apartment), a power failure or the temperature decreases to a critical level. The company installs the necessary equipment, promptly responds to alarms and round the clock monitoring of the technical state of the security devices in your home or office.

"Gulfstream" protects not only the home or office, but also human. "Mobile bodyguard" as a device with a GPS-tracker and SIM-card allows the push of a button to call for help in the form of armed guards in situations, the development of which involves some threat - for example, you had a fight with strangers and afraid to go out late at night from a club or restaurant . In this case, the call response team "Gulf Stream", which will determine your location, to avoid unpleasant or dangerous situation for you. The picture shows that, along with the existing devices "panic buttons" (they are on the table), the company has developed an application for smartphones equipped with a module GPS. Should such a service is quite inexpensive - 549 rubles per month.


In order to monitor how the whole complex system, we need monitoring station. This station operated from 1994 until February 2010, "Gulf Stream" is not launched into operation a new central station, equipped with the latest technology in accordance with international standards.


Getting here is not easy, and admission to a monitoring room where operators sit there only a certain number of employees, "Gulf Stream." The gateway entrance guarded by a complex system that reads the fingerprint scanner included. I asked why such severity at the entrance and told me that in the hall there is access to all client databases, and the information is secret.




In the monitoring room quietly sitting at the console, young people and respond to customer calls, monitor the work equipment. Receiving and processing signals from protected objects are made of software and hardware complex, which is developed by a European company specializing in solutions for these monitoring stations. In Russia, the software is used only in the "Gulf Stream" and can receive and process signals from the equipment practically all world manufacturers, not only disturbing and process signals (about the state of the equipment), but also provides video monitoring of protected sites.




In a separate section of the center specialists monitor the work of customer equipment, answer technical questions.


The work of operators are well paid, but also the requirements for them are high. The room is constantly video and audio surveillance of employees at work.


However, people are people and in the logic of the software station laid algorithms for processing of alarm and other signals that reduce the likelihood of errors due to human factors.


All information from the object is transmitted to the central station and the center are organized in a server processing and storage of information received. It contains not only technical information, but also to talk with customers and the necessary video from security cameras at the sites.


Cerverny Center "Gulf Stream" works with the use of modern technology HP Blade. Each server has a "hot" backup - in case one of them fails, automatically keeps a backup job. On the server hardware also hosted backup of all data sets (sales history on objects, phone records, client information is not less than one year).

The reliability of all the channels at the station (telephone, internet) is achieved by two different operators. In this regard, each of the operators is carried out by two independent channels (fiber optic and radio).


The server center around the clock monitoring of the health of all engineering systems, channels of communication, the server hardware.






I asked to take me to the roof where the "Gulf Stream" is a backup generator in case of power outages.


Diesel generator of 100 kW will start automatically in case of power failure. In addition to his station, of course, and it is equipped with uninterruptible power supplies. While the case of power failure was not, so diesel is clean, untouched.


I was assured that for the protection of apartments, houses, commercial premises in the company uses only the finest, carefully check the equipment. Today, for example, "Gulfstream" uses equipment known company Honeywell, which cooperates, including from NASA and concern Boeing. Only the "Gulf Stream" is used for safeguarding property Domonial from Honeywell. It has a unique and offers only the "Gulf Stream" function - fotopodtverzhdenie alarms - if the alarm is activated, the sensor takes a few pictures and sends them to a central monitoring station. In addition, there are sensors that react to the opening of the door, smoke, water leakage, and even a decrease in temperature, which is especially interesting for the town houses, where the pipes could freeze and burst, while the owners think that the country is all right.

By installing modern equipment, "Gulfstream" ensures that the alarm will go to the central station - with the object in the monitoring center it goes through several channels of communication. If suddenly the equipment begins to falter, for example, sensors, batteries sit down - a signal is also supplied to the station with the client communicate and agree on arrival service.


Across Moscow, several dozen crews of their own private security company "Gulf Stream" armed and trained fighters. Alarming signals are received and the Office of the private security guards. Therefore, the average response time to an alarm - 5-7 minutes. It is in connection with such a short time, recall interesting service "Mobile bodyguard" when you "Press" on the road, bursting into the apartment, pursued in a deserted place, stick in the hallway, waiting at the exit of the club or restaurant.






All the security companies of this kind dream to change our attitude to the installation of security systems. In the "Gulf Stream" can be heard dozens of sad stories, when people come to them only after lost everything - after a fire or a robbery. The proverb "While the thunder clap, the peasant will not cross" is relevant today. Well, that lately for his own safety began to think more and more.


P.S. Next to the deli, where I used to buy food, it is always blue and white car with the logo "Gulf Stream." In it sit two strongest guys in uniform. Now I know what they do there. :-)
