At 3:02am an early morning trespasser walks through a Dallas shopping center. He wears his hoodie up over his head, which masks his face in front of a camera. He strolls by a restaurant patio.
But these security cameras were watched in real-time by Stealth Monitoring. A surveillance operator activates a speaker warning and calls the police.
The suspect ignores the audio warning and pays the price. He checks doors on the ground and second floor. Meanwhile police are on the way. The trespasser breaks a window. Multiple Dallas Police officers arrive and take the suspect into custody.

Stealth Monitoring live video surveillance cameras can be placed at shopping center entrances, parking lots and garages, roofs, alleys, storefronts, and other trouble areas. Stealth monitors watch commercial properties after the staff leaves for the night.
Unwatched Retail Security Cameras Don’t Prevent Million Dollar NYC Fur Theft
Retail security cameras didn’t stop a smash and grab fur coat theft at a high-end shop on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. The victimized New York boutique had surveillance cameras for fur coat security. Live monitoring was not reported during the holiday weekend. With live video surveillance remote operators can see suspicious activity, play audio speaker warnings to help deter crime, and call police while suspects are on the property and may not have yet broken in or stolen expensive goods.
Retail security cameras showed the first suspect threw a large piece of granite through the glass door. According to the surveillance video, two other suspects participated in the fur coat theft. One suspect was hit in the head by debris. This fallen object did not deter the holiday thieves.
