An empty office at night. A distribution centre full of stock. A reception where people come and go all day. Object security puts someone there who knows what they're doing, spots what's out of place, and knows when to step in.
With us you get a small fixed team for your location and one point of contact who knows your building and your people. Short lines, a roster that fits, and reports you can scan back through without searching.
Rotating crews see less. We assign a small fixed team to your site, so the same people keep coming back. They know your staff, know which doors should always be locked, and spot unusual behaviour faster than someone there for the first time.
Object security is the protection of one specific building or site against break-ins, theft, vandalism and unwanted visitors. Someone watches who comes in, walks rounds, monitors the cameras and steps in when something is off.
In practice it's usually a combination: a fixed guard on site, mobile patrols outside office hours, and alarm response when something goes off at night. You pick what fits your building and risk, and we set it up.
An object security officer is the eyes and ears of your location. A lot of the work is preventive: being present, noticing what happens, and keeping things from getting out of hand. A typical shift includes:
If nothing happens, that's exactly what you're paying for. A good day is a quiet day.
Object security fits almost any commercial or public building. Most of our requests come from:
Working in retail, on a construction site or running an event? Our pages on retail security, construction security and event security are more specific to those situations.
There are three ways we deploy object security. Most setups are a mix, depending on when your risk actually sits.
Many clients are stuck between a fixed guard, mobile patrols or cameras only. The choice depends on what you want to prevent and what you want to spend.
| Fixed object security | Mobile patrols | Camera monitoring only | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Presence | 24/7 on site | Scheduled rounds | None, recording only |
| Preventive effect | Very high | High | Limited |
| Response time to an incident | Immediate | 5 to 30 minutes | Evidence after the fact |
| Access control and host duties | Yes | Limited | No |
| Best fit for | Office, healthcare, DC | Multiple smaller sites | Add-on to security |
| Indicative cost | Highest | Mid | Lowest |
In practice we combine these. A fixed guard during the day, mobile patrols at night and cameras with control-room support as the closing layer usually gives the best balance between safety and cost.
From the first conversation to the first shift, we keep it clear. Five steps, no surprises.
We come over, listen to what's going on and walk the building with you. For urgent requests, you have a quote within 24 hours.
We put posts, rounds, procedures and escalation lines in writing, so everyone knows what should happen.
You get a small fixed team for your site, personally briefed on your building, your people and your house rules.
The service starts as planned. Daily reports and incident notes come in through our portal or by email.
Every quarter or six months we sit down together. If something isn't working, we change it straight away.
There's no single hourly rate we can honestly quote here. The price depends on:
After a short intake you receive a tailored, no-obligation quote. For standard cases within 1 working day, for urgent requests within 24 hours.

Object security is the ongoing protection of a building, site or business location against break-ins, theft, vandalism and unwanted visitors. It combines access control, patrols, alarm response, camera and control-room monitoring, and host duties at one fixed location.
An object security officer keeps continuous watch over your building or site. Think access control, visitor registration, closing and fire rounds, alarm response, camera and control-room monitoring, acting as host and emergency responder during incidents. Every detail is logged digitally in a daily report.
Access control and visitor registration, opening and closing buildings, closing and fire rounds, overnight surveillance, alarm response, camera and control-room monitoring, host duties, emergency response and first aid, and digital reporting of any notable events.
There's no fixed hourly rate. The price depends on the number of hours, the time blocks (night, weekend, holidays), the risk profile, the deployment type and extras such as emergency response or a dog handler. After a short intake you receive a tailored, no-obligation quote within 1 working day for standard requests and within 24 hours for urgent ones.
For standard object security we usually start within 5 working days after sign-off. For urgent situations we're on site within 1 hour for acute alerts, and you receive a quote within 24 hours for urgent requests.
Kilic Security holds the ND security quality mark, is a member of the VPB, carries the Keurmerk Beveiliging quality mark and is ISO 9001 certified. All our object security officers are ND-qualified with a valid security ID issued by Justis.
We operate from two offices across the Netherlands, with a strong presence in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Eindhoven and the surrounding regions. Our officers work at offices, distribution centres, production sites, healthcare facilities, retail, government and construction sites.
An object security officer is permanently present at one location and knows your building, people and procedures inside out. A mobile patrol officer drives rounds past several sites, checks closures and responds to alarms. In practice we combine both: a fixed object officer during the day and mobile patrols at night or on weekends.
The four main types are object security (fixed buildings or sites), event security (temporary locations and crowds), retail security and mobile patrols. Kilic Security delivers all four, separately or in combination. See our pages on event security, retail security and construction security.
We start with an intake and site visit to understand your culture, risk profile and wishes. Based on that we build a fixed team that fits your sector and image. You meet the officers before they start, and we review periodically whether the team is still the right fit.
Every shift is reported digitally. You receive daily reports, incident notes and periodic overviews through our online portal or by email. That way you always have visibility into rounds, visitors, notable events and any incidents at your location.
Yes. We often combine object security with camera and control-room monitoring for maximum coverage at lower cost. See our camera monitoring page for 24/7 live monitoring and verified alarm response.
Yes. Kilic Security is a Dutch security company with nationwide coverage: the Randstad (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht), Eindhoven and Brainport, and regional sites. Officers are bilingual (Dutch and English), licensed under the Dutch Wpbr and hold a valid security ID issued by Justis, so international HQs and asset managers can contract manned guarding directly for their Dutch sites.
