Huffmaster, Elite Fire Safety announce partnership

CLAWSON, Mich.—Security solutions provider Huffmaster Crisis Response has announced a strategic partnership with Elite Fire Safety, a division of Sciens Building Solutions (“sciens”).

According to Huffmaster, this collaboration “revolutionizes” remote camera monitoring by integrating a mobile security camera trailer (Remote Tactical Surveillance Unit - RTSU) with Huffmaster’s VirSec Operation Center.

As part of this partnership, Huffmaster will deploy Elite Fire Safety's new RTSU across the United States. These advanced trailers, equipped with the latest surveillance technology, will transmit live feeds to Huffmaster's VirSec Operation Center. The VirSec team will monitor these feeds 24/7, ensuring a rapid response to detected suspicious activity.

In addition to mobile units, Huffmaster will provide remote monitoring services for permanent camera locations installed or serviced by Elite Fire Safety’s Security Division. This comprehensive monitoring approach ensures continuous asset and facility protection, leveraging AI-driven analytics and human oversight.

“With each new partner, we expand the reach of our VirSec Operation Center, enhancing visibility and driving future business. This collaboration also paved the way for expanding our VirSec Operation Center with additional workstations and an increased headcount. Moreover, it allows us to extend our services to states where Huffmaster does not operate. Given Sciens Building Solutions’ 27 corporate locations, we can help unify their security solutions nationwide and extend our expertise to their extensive portfolio of clients," said Scott R. Gane, CPP, president and chief security officer, Huffmaster Protective Services Group.

“We are thrilled to partner with Elite Fire Safety/Sciens,” added Ryan B. Okerstrom, CPP, VP of operations, Huffmaster. “Integrating their innovative mobile security camera trailers with our VirSec Operation Center represents a significant advancement in providing proactive, real-time security monitoring. This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering the highest security solutions to our clients.”

Partnership Benefits

- Proactive Surveillance: The Remote Tactical Surveillance Unit (RTSU) and permanent installations provide continuous, high-resolution video surveillance, ensuring no suspicious activity goes unnoticed.

How It Works
