Elpas Mental Health Care Facility Security Systems

Security Personnel Management Systems: Enhancing Safety in Mental Health Facilities

Mental health facilities play a crucial role in providing care for individuals with diverse psychological and emotional needs. Ensuring a safe and secure environment is essential for both patients and staff, making modern security technologies a key component of facility management.

The Importance of Security in Mental Health Facilities

Mental health institutions face unique challenges when it comes to security. These facilities must balance providing a therapeutic atmosphere with implementing effective safety measures to prevent unauthorized access, ensure patient well-being, and protect staff members. Security breaches, elopement risks, and incidents of violence can be mitigated through advanced surveillance and access control solutions.

At Securitec, we design, install, and maintain advanced security technologies tailored to the unique demands of mental health care facilities across the U.S. Our innovative solution, Elpas, is a very powerful, highly customizable solution that can be easily tailored to every customer’s needs. It allows and empowers you to optimize safety, improve operational efficiency, and enhance accountability in your facility.

We design and install systems which may contain all or some of the following features.

Staff Assistance/Man Down Alarm

Enhance safety for your security personnel with our Elpas man down alarm feature. This vital system can be used to trigger alerts in response to different events including a panic/duress call, medical emergencies, as well as built-in/automatic fall detection for lone workers or staff becoming incapacitated to ensure rapid response.

Protect your security and medical teams with technology designed to save lives and prevent critical incidents.

Guard Patrol Integrated Software and Hardware Systems

Elevate the safety and efficiency of your facility with Elpas guard patrol capabilities. This cutting-edge solution enables real-time monitoring of tours or patrols, ensuring task completion, and delivering detailed reports to support data-driven decision-making.

These systems ensure consistent execution of security protocols and minimize human error.

Asset Tracking

Enhance inventory management and asset security with Elpas’ advanced Asset Tracking solution. Designed for high-value and high-security environments, this system enables authorized personnel to monitor and locate assets in real time. From keys, tools, ladders or lifts to your most valuable asset—your staff—Elpas ensures optimal oversight, reducing loss and improving operational efficiency.

These tools provide real-time monitoring of high-importance items, ensuring they remain accounted for and accessible only to authorized personnel.

Nurse Call Systems: Fast, Reliable Communication for Every Need

A quick, efficient way for residents to reach out to staff is critical for providing exceptional care. Our nurse call systems are designed to streamline communication between residents and care teams, ensuring that assistance is always just a button away. Whether it’s a call for routine help or an urgent medical request, our advanced nurse call systems ensure that caregivers are alerted instantly, reducing response times and improving overall patient care.

• Wireless & Hardwired Options: Flexible, customizable configurations to suit any facility

Integrated Officer/Guard Management Software

Streamline operations with Elpas EV2, a comprehensive, user-friendly platform designed for mental health care environments. This all-in-one solution allows seamless monitoring and management of patrols, tours, incidents, asset tracking, and personnel performance — enhancing efficiency, accountability, and security from a single interface.

Our highly adaptable Elpas solution has proven to be customizable and scalable to adapt to customer’s desires. Some examples include:

Access Control & Biometric Authentication

Enhance facility security with Elpas’ advanced access control solutions. Featuring seamless integration with biometric technologies — including fingerprint, facial recognition, and iris scanning — our system ensures that only authorized personnel can access restricted areas. This added layer of protection strengthens security, prevents unauthorized entry, and enhances overall operational control.

Seamless Integration with Camera Systems

Our advanced Elpas software solution integrates seamlessly with existing body camera and fixed camera systems including Milestone, Axon, and Bosch VMS. This interoperability provides a unified security platform, enabling synchronized monitoring, recording, and incident analysis for comprehensive facility oversight.

Temperature Monitoring and Logging

The Elpas Temperature Monitoring Solution gives real-time visibility into the status of temperature sensitive assets or areas. Elpas automates temperature recordings and removes the inherently unreliable, labor intensive, time consuming and inefficient manual recording.

Secure Event Storage and Report Generation:

Elpas ensures that every event across all applications — whether staff rounds (completed or missed), temperature fluctuations, asset movements, or emergency response times — is automatically recorded and securely stored. With intuitive access to historical and real-time data, facilities can easily review incidents, enhance accountability, and make informed decisions to improve safety and efficiency.

Future of Security in Mental Health Facilities

As technology advances, security solutions will continue to evolve, integrating AI-driven analytics, facial recognition, and predictive threat detection. Implementing these innovations will create a safer, more efficient, and compassionate environment for all.
