From design concept to execution, every aspect of a multifamily community is carefully considered. Property owners and managers, along with their teams, want their community to be desirable to potential residents. Amenities like pools, gyms, storage, parking facilities, business facilities, and lounges create a stronger sense of community living and make residents feel more at home.
When those facilities are damaged, vandalized, or otherwise occupied by criminals, the appeal is lost- and can ultimately create a concern for your bottom line. In this Arrest of the Month video, a brazen burglar breaks into a Washington multifamily residential community– unaware that Stealth could see every move.
At 1:36 a.m., Stealth security operators monitoring a Washington apartment community spotted someone accessing the lounge on surveillance. A closer look revealed the individual, wearing a large backpack, helping themselves to items in the refrigerator, and opening cabinets before heading into the parking facilities to attempt to access vehicle doors. Stealth immediately contacted local police, who arrived on scene within minutes and placed the bold burglar into custody. Officers also requested footage of the incident for legal purposes.
Help Maintain a Secure Environment While Reducing Exposure to Site Liability with Proactive Security
Many multifamily communities rely on security guards to patrol and monitor their properties, but the costs of maintaining a guard on site can be prohibitive, and they have limited coverage- after all, a person can only be in one physical location at a time and may not catch all unusual or unwanted behavior.
Stealth’s live video monitoring solution allows for interventions that can help deter and disperse suspicious, criminal, or unwanted activity in real-time. Using a combination of analytics-based cameras that are designed to pick up activity rather than simple movement, and the human intelligence of trained security professionals monitoring live surveillance feeds, Stealth operators can take action when they see someone or something out of place.
From communicating directly with perpetrators on-site using one-way speakers, calling to dispatch an existing on site guard, and even contacting local police when the scenario warrants it, our highly trained staff can help manage and disperse threats. Our video analysis department can also provide footage of incidents to property managers or law enforcement when requested to aid in legal or insurance cases.
If you’d like to learn more about how Stealth’s live video monitoring solution can benefit your property while saving you up to 60% in security spend costs when compared to traditional security measures, contact us today and speak with a multifamily residential security expert for details.
