Erratic Behavior at Office Tower Escalates to Vandalism and Break-In, Arrest

Posted by David Charney on Feb 23, 2023

Businesses choose to stablish themselves in specific office buildings, towers, and complexes for a variety of reasons: proximity to clients, prestige, space, comfort, amenities for employees and/or staff, general location- and for many, this list is topped by comfort and security. 

See what happened when a Texas-area office building’s security was challenged by an individual behaving erratically, unaware that Stealth was watching. 

At 1:19 in the early morning hours, Stealth security professionals noticed an individual running into the parking facilities, behaving erratically on an office property being monitored. The operator immediately activated the audible alarms. The individual, however, simply ran toward the front of the building, dropping to their knees and crawling across the sidewalk, and attempting to hide behind parts of the building.  

Stealth’s observing operator took the next step, contacting local police dispatch to inform them of the concern. Seconds later, the individual smashed the glass entrance to the building and strolled inside. Officers arrived in minutes and were able to locate and arrest the suspect, removing them from the building. 

Help Maintain Your Property’s Reputation and Security Standards with Live Video Monitoring 

Traditional security systems are reactive. In the case of a scenario like the one seen above; the alarms may not have activated until after the building was broken into. The cameras may have recorded the act, but with no one watching, the suspect may have managed to leave the scene before police could arrive with only footage after the fact available to help determine the perpetrator.  

Live video monitoring, however, is a proactive security solution. Using a combination of analytics-based cameras that watch your property for activity rather than movement alone, and the human intelligence of trained security professionals monitoring the surveillance feeds, Stealth watches for and evaluates suspicious activity in real time.   

With customized video surveillance that watches key areas of a property, trained security operators that can activate onsite audible alarms, and established relationships with local law enforcement, Stealth’s live video monitoring can help deter and disperse criminal and other unwanted activity as it happens.
