Modern times come with modern challenges That’s why Mannok, a prominent manufacturer of construction products in the United Kingdom and Ireland, has partnered with Netwatch to bring its security posture into the modern age Originally known as The Quinn Group, Mannok has evolved from its origins as a local supplier of sand and gravel for farmers and builders into a major international manufacturer delivering a diverse range of high-performance building materials As the business has expanded, so have its security challenges The company faced many security challenges across its sites, which impacted operational efficiency and financial stability.

Mannok relied primarily on professional guards and video surveillance cameras in the past. However, these measures were insufficient to prevent security incidents. The existing video monitoring system was largely reactive, offering minimal preventive capabilities and limited coverage across the extensive manufacturing areas. This resulted in frequent downtime, low staff morale, and financial losses from damaged assets

To stay ahead of these issues, Mannok sought a more comprehensive security solution The firm reached out to Netwatch to explore new ways of enhancing its security systems and mitigating risk The Netwatch team conducted a thorough site survey to evaluate the vulnerabilities and tailored a solution to address Mannok's specific needs After the evaluation was complete, the recommendations included proactive video monitoring (PVM), integrating advanced technology with expert intervention to help ensure a more proactive approach to security

Netwatch PVM combines state-of-the-art video surveillance technology with a dedicated team of intervention specialists. This system offers continuous, round-the-clock monitoring and rapid response capabilities to prevent costly losses on Mannok's work sites. When a potential security threat is detected, Netwatch intervention specialists can immediately verify the situation and issue live, personalized audio warnings to would-be vandals and thieves

The proactive approach has achieved a remarkable 98% success rate in deterring criminal activities and preventing unauthorized behavior, and Mannok can enjoy peace of mind knowing that people and assets are secure Additionally, license plate recognition technology plays a crucial role in overseeing the flow of vehicles entering Mannok's premises, including those coming from remote or less monitored routes. Given the site's open public access from various roads, this feature enhances the ability to identify and manage unauthorized vehicles, boosting security and safety.

“Weaving Netwatch proactive video monitoring services into our security infrastructure has enhanced our overall security and operational efficiency,” said Mannok CEO Dara O’Reilly “Implementing PVM has significantly reduced the rate of security breaches, bolstered the safety of our staff and ensured the protection of our high-value assets We’re committed to leveraging technology to maintain a secure and efficient working environment for our team, and Netwatch has been instrumental in helping us in our journey to enhanced security ”

The results of this partnership have been transformative for Mannok PVM has significantly reduced security breaches and enhanced safety measures. It has also bolstered staff confidence and alleviated concerns about suspicious behaviors and employee safety.

Mannok is committed to fulfilling its obligation to provide employees with a safe, productive working environment, and its collaboration with Netwatch reflects its dedication to efficiency, professionalism, and advancement.

Overall, this collaborative partnership highlights the significance of integrating advanced technology with expert human oversight to address complex security challenges Netwatch's innovative approach to remote video monitoring has provided Mannok with a robust, proactive security solution that protects its assets and enhances overall operational efficiency and staff well-being
