Destiny USA adds mobile remote guarding systems to its security measures

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Destiny USA says it has added mobile remote guarding systems into its security program at the mall complex. The systems come from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania–based Edgeworth Security, a provider of remote surveillance systems. Destiny USA has deployed three Edgeworth mobile remote guarding systems strategically throughout the exterior of the 2.4 million square foot property. Each security system includes 360-degree cameras that have built-in A.I. (artificial intelligence) and are remotely monitored 24/7 by highly trained U.S.–based agents, Destiny USA said. The introduction of these systems has bolstered safety measures across the property, “increasing response times and enhancing Destiny USA’s ability to maintain a safe environment for guests and staff,” the mall operator contended. The mobile remote guarding systems can easily be moved to high-traffic areas to help facilitate crowd-management efforts. Each trailer features “voice down” capabilities where a remote guard can directly aid and address guests. The remote guards have alerted authorities during medical emergencies or when emergency services are used, “ensuring prompt assistance in critical situations.” “The integration of Edgeworth’s mobile surveillance systems marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to prioritize safety and security at Destiny USA,” J. Michael Gately, general manager at Destiny USA, said in the announcement. “These innovative solutions have not only proven to be effective in deterring misconduct but also in enhancing our ability to respond swiftly to emergencies and ensure the well-being of our guests and employees.”
