Gun violence is a prevalent concern for cities, states, and communities across the US. In an article posted on NBCDFW Channel 5’s website in June of 2022, Maria Guerrero says, “So far in 2022, there have been 113 murders, up from the same time period the year before… twelve victims were under the age of 18.”
Multifamily residential communities have a wide variety of safety and security concerns. From mail theft and facility trespassing to domestic disputes and more- it’s imperative that the residents in multifamily communities feel safe and secure in the place they choose to call home. When Stealth operators spotted suspicious activity in this Dallas apartment community, they took swift action.
In the video above, Stealth security professionals monitoring the surveillance feeds of a Dallas-area multifamily community spotted multiple individuals gathering near a vehicle around 1:20 a.m. The alert operator keeping an eye on the activity noticed that one of the individuals appeared to be holding a firearm. Stealth’s team immediately contacted both the onsite security officer and local police dispatch due to the nature of the activity being observed. Responding officers arrived on scene minutes later and made contact with one of the individuals, appearing to take them into custody.
Help Keep Your Residents Feeling Safe with Live Video Monitoring
Most potential residents consider safety and security when selecting a place to rent. Apartmentlist.com recommends that renters “ask the … property manager about how they keep the building, property, and units safe.” Most other websites geared toward potential residents state something similar. Property owners and managers will want to have a clear and effective answer when responding to these concerns.
Live video monitoring goes above and beyond traditional security measures by taking a proactive approach to security concerns. Using a combination of cutting-edge technology and trained security professionals, Stealth’s solution can help deter and disperse potential criminal and other unwanted activity as it happens, rather than waiting until the damages or other negative effects have already occurred.
With analytics-based cameras designed to detect activity rather than simple movement, and the human intelligence of operators trained to watch for suspicious activity, Stealth’s live video monitoring can facilitates a faster response and a reduction in “false alarm calls.” This means local police dispatch typically elevates the priority of our calls, thanks to our ability to provide them with up-to-the-minute descriptions of suspects, locations, and activity as it occurs.
