Vacant Property Security Solutions
Vacant properties come with a large set of security headaches. They’re unoccupied, often neglected, and can quickly turn into magnets for all sorts of trouble. Vandals love them for graffiti and other damage, while squatters find them perfect for setting up camp.
Without regular checks, things like overgrown landscaping and broken windows send out a clear message to would-be intruders. Thieves also target the pipes and wiring for copper. Arson is also an enormous risk not just for the property but for the whole neighborhood
Live Video Monitoring for Vacant Properties
Stealth Monitoring’s customized video surveillance solutions work in real time and are designed to catch events as they happen. We watch when there is activity, not relying on motion sensors, using a combination of video analytics and human intelligence.
Our proactive solutions are typically 25-60% more cost-effective than traditional security guards and provide high-quality, effective security while minimizing liability.

Security Concerns
Security Guards
Many vacant properties rely on security guards to monitor the premises, but they can cost thousands of dollars a month. Additionally, there are other constraining factors involved with guards including inadequate training, limited coverage, and a lack of trust in their ability to do the job they were hired to do. With Stealth’s live video monitoring solution, you get a team of trained operators to watch your cameras, placed throughout the property, at the same time.
Trespassing
With no regular activity, vacant properties are susceptible to trespassing and illegal squatting, which can lead to property damage and potential legal complications.
Fire
Abandoned buildings are at a higher risk of arson. This poses significant safety hazards to the property and surrounding areas.
Security Expenses
Drive-by patrol services are rarely on-site and can be easily bypassed. Other camera systems that are not being watched will not produce the same results as Stealth’s proven proactive solution.
Vandalism & Graffiti
Vacant properties often attract vandals, resulting in graffiti, broken windows, and other damage to the structure or grounds.
Copper Theft
Thieves frequently target vacant properties for copper and other metal materials, stripping pipes and wiring for resale, which can lead to extensive damage and costly repairs.
Liability
Security incidents in vacant properties can lead to insurance claims, which can impact the property’s overall value and lead to liability risks for the owners.
