Guards Who Know What to Check, Who to Let In, and Who to Call.

Urban Eye is a PSRA-registered security company providing guards for estates, homes, offices, shops, and warehouses in Kenya. Every post starts with written instructions for your site, every shift is handed over on record, and supervisors check that the agreed standard holds.

A uniform at the gate is not the same as security.

These are the guarding problems property owners bring to us most. If yours is here, the fix is usually in how the post is run, not how many guards you have.

A guard who does not know the rules

Visitors, deliveries, and contractors get waved in because nobody told the guard what to check.

Written post instructions for your site cover gate control, visitor checks, deliveries, and after-hours access.

Usually fits: every guarding post

No record of what happened overnight

Something goes missing, and the only answer is that nothing happened on that shift.

Shift handovers and incident reports are documented, so you can see what happened and what was done about it.

Usually fits: every guarding post

Nobody checking on the guard

You only find out the post was not being kept after something goes wrong.

Supervisor checks confirm that the instructions agreed for your site are being followed.

Usually fits: every guarding post

A guard alone when something serious happens

One person at a gate cannot handle a real threat on their own.

Incidents follow agreed escalation contacts, and with PRO Monitoring, first responders attend and serious incidents are escalated to armed response.

Usually fits: guarding with PRO Monitoring

Blind spots a guard cannot watch

The guard watches the gate while the back fence goes unwatched.

Cameras and alarms cover the areas one guard cannot, and alerts can be shared with the guard on site.

Usually fits: guarding with CCTV or alarms

Guards are deployed

Guards take up the agreed posts and shifts, following the access procedures written for your site.

04

Shifts are handed over on record

Each handover and any reported incident is documented, so there is a clear account of what happened on site.

Supervisors keep the standard

Supervisor checks and handover reviews confirm the agreed standard is maintained over time.

Guarding is quoted per site, after a free survey.

Two properties of the same size can need very different guarding, so a fixed price would be wrong for most of them.

What affects your price

The survey works out what your property actually needs. You then receive a written quotation showing the posts, hours, and any added monitoring before a single guard is deployed.

  • Number of postsA gate, a reception desk, a patrol route, or several of them.
  • Hours coveredDaytime, overnight, or around the clock.
  • What guards must controlVisitors, deliveries, stock, cash, or contractor access.
  • Technology alongside the guardsCCTV, alarms, or PRO Monitoring added to cover what guards cannot.

Guards can be paired with PRO Monitoring, from KES 8,050/month. Compare monitoring plans →

Post instructions change with the property.

The same guard needs different instructions at an estate gate than at a warehouse loading bay.

A good fit, or better served by something else.

Guards are the right answer when a person needs to be present. Sometimes technology covers the gap for less.

Guarding is a good fit if

  • You need a person at a gate, reception, or yard during set hours.
  • Visitors, deliveries, or contractors need checking before they enter.
  • You want written instructions and records, not just someone in uniform.
  • You want guards backed by cameras, alarms, or monitoring.

You are better served elsewhere if

How much do security guards cost?

Guarding is quoted per site after a free site survey. The price depends on how many posts your site needs, the hours each post is covered, and what the guards must control. You receive a written quotation before any guard is deployed.

Do you provide guards for both estates and offices?

Yes. We provide guarding for private homes, apartments, estates, offices, shops, warehouses, and other properties. Post instructions and visitor procedures are written for the needs of each site.

What does the site survey cover?

The survey is free. We review your property layout, perimeter, blind spots, lighting, existing alarms and cameras, access routines, and visitor movement, then work out how many posts and which procedures the site needs.

What happens if a guard faces a serious incident?

The incident follows the escalation contacts agreed for your site. Where the site also has PRO Monitoring, alerts reach our team and our response partner at the same moment, first responders attend, and serious incidents are escalated to armed response.

How do guards work with CCTV and alarms?

Cameras and alarms cover the areas a guard cannot watch at the same time, such as a rear fence while the guard is at the gate. Where they are installed, alerts can be shared with the guard on site so they know where to look.

Is Urban Eye licensed to provide guards?

Yes. Urban Eye is registered with the Private Security Regulatory Authority (PSRA) and is a member of the PSIA.
