Owners, operators, and management companies take numerous precautions to help protect their multifamily residential communities from break-ins, burglaries, and other criminal activities. Secured entry points, adequate lighting throughout the community and parking facilities, access gates, guards, and courtesy patrols- all of these can help to deter criminals, but they may not be enough.
Safety and security are major drivers in the success of a multifamily residential community. In fact, recent studies have shown that perceived safety and security is a deciding factor for potential residents when choosing a place to live or whether to renew their lease.
Proactive security measures can help improve both the perception of safety and security at your property, and the actual security outcomes, complete with improved police response times. Watch what happened when a group of individuals attempted to break into a boarded-up section of a Georgia apartment building, clearly unaware that Stealth cameras- and monitoring operators- could see what they were up to.
At approximately 1:55 a.m., a group of three individuals was spotted by Stealth security professionals loitering in front of a boarded-up building that is part of a Georgia apartment community. The group proceeded to attempt to pry the boards off the windows and construct some kind of chain of belongings to the second floor. Stealth operators immediately activated the audible alarms as well as contact local police dispatch due to the nature of the activity observed. Responding officers arrived quickly and took one of the individuals into custody while the remaining two individuals were cleared.
Help Protect Your Residents and Property with Live Video Monitoring
Regardless of where a community is located, whether they have access gates and security guards, or whether they are rural or urban- loitering, trespassing, burglaries, vandalism, and other crimes remain a risk.
Passive security measures alone are not enough. Stealth’s live video monitoring, however, is a proactive, responsive, customizable, and cost-effective security solution that can help deter and disperse criminal and other unwanted activity in real time, as it happens.
Using a combination of cutting-edge video analytics and highly trained security professionals, Stealth uses both technology and human intelligence to monitor key areas throughout your multifamily residential community for suspicious or unusual activity and can take immediate action when something or someone appears out of place. Analytics-based surveillance feeds alert our trained professionals when there is activity, not just motion. Security operators can then determine if action needs to be taken- from sounding audible onsite warnings to contacting local police dispatch when intervention is warranted.
Our ability to provide dispatchers with live details and descriptions of activity in progress typically leads to our calls’ priority being elevated and faster police response times, which can result in intervention before significant damage or escalation occurs.
