Remote Monitoring and Video Surveillance Guidance

Technology innovation has led to ongoing improvements in remote monitoring. HD security cameras provide video surveillance operators high resolution images that can show theft and vandalism in real time. Video analytics and reporting abilities can be tailored to property management and site requirements. Time lapse camera technology enables monitors to pinpoint suspicious activity and document events for police and authorities.

Today's thieves are savvy criminals. They are smarter, always seeking ways to avoid detection. Property owners know that risk liability is more important than ever and seek remote video monitoring to improve site security.

Many commercial real estate owners still stick with ‘boots on the ground’, or on-site security guards. The visual deterrent of live guards on the site has been the standard approach to preventing theft and vandalism. Security guards however are costly, they cannot be everywhere, and they often are put in harm's way. The good news is that those boots just got a turbocharge.

More sophisticated and affordable remote video monitoring solutions are becoming standard practice. Comprehensive real-time site coverage - from construction sites to car dealerships to shopping malls – is now available. One way speaker activation and two way voice-down deterrents can result in thieves fleeing before they cause property damage or loss. Intelligent thieves know and avoid intelligent security and the power of Remote Monitoring.

Commercial real estate owners are now asking the right questions to get the proverbial bigger bang for their security buck.
