We are living in twenty
first century where numerous buildings may be seen being guarded by video and
audio devices.These advance security systems have exterminated the need of
physical presence of a doorman or security guard. But the technology never
remains stagnant; it keeps on changing constantly. The world may be run by
those who live in the present but it’s led by those who look at the future. On
this note, Alon Alexander the founder of Kent Services of New York realized the
need of advanced security systems to make a computerized entry lot more secure
and worked on it.
Today, Alon is the owner of
‘Kent Services” based in New York City. The company is staffed with over 400
people and the annual revenue of the company is around $5 million. Alon attended
law school but his intention was not to become a practicing lawyer unlike
thousands of others. He never underwent any internship at a law firm. Instead
of that he focused on his own plans of establishing a security system company.
Alon has plans of expanding the company nationwide from Seattle to Philadelphia
and Washington D.C
The biometric security system
offered by the company works with a scanning technology in which the pictures
of the visitors at the door are compared with the pictures collected on the
file of the system. If the system is unable to trace a match, the visitors
receive a voice query, “Do you live in the Building?” and the response from the
visitor is analyzed through a voice recognition system. If still the security
system doesn’t confirm the identity, central security staffers deal with it telephonically. The door costs $25,000 which is a small investment when
compared to the annual payout to a doorman which supposes to be $160,000 on
average.
