The threat landscape
Why hotels are a target
Hotels are increasingly vulnerable to criminal activities and terrorist threats due to their accessibility and high visitor volume. Security managers must now balance guest experience with proactive protection against sophisticated threats.
01
Armed attacks
Attacks targeting guests and staff.
02
Concealed weapons and explosives
Brought onto the premises.
03
Unauthorized access
To restricted areas.
04
Theft and violent crime
Impacting operations and reputation.
Key features
Raising the standard for hotel security
Traditional security measures — manual bag checks, visible metal detectors — create bottlenecks which lead to queues and delays. A modern hotel needs security that is discreet and non-intrusive, capable of high throughput during peak periods, smart enough to tell genuine threats from harmless items, seamlessly integrated into daily operations, and looking and feeling good.
High-throughput screening
Thousands of individuals per hour
Efficiently screen thousands of individuals per hour without delays, maintaining smooth guest flow through lobbies, conference centers and event spaces.
Non-intrusive and contactless
Comfort and privacy preserved
Guests pass naturally through entry points without the need to stop, open suitcases, or remove clothing, preserving their comfort and privacy.
Intelligent threat detection
Fewer false alarms
AI-driven analytics accurately detect firearms, explosives, and concealed threats, while minimizing false alarms and unnecessary interventions.
Seamless integration
With the systems you have
Easily integrates with existing hotel security infrastructure, including CCTV systems and access control, enhancing overall situational awareness.
Enhanced risk mitigation
Before threats reach the heart of the building
By detecting and deterring threats before they enter the heart of the building, hotels can significantly reduce the likelihood of mass casualty incidents and criminal activity on site.
White Paper
