Amenities like pools, spas, clubhouses, laundry rooms, and gyms draw more than just potential residents to your multifamily community. In this Arrest of the Month video, Stealth’s cameras caught trespassers who were up to no good red-handed at a Texas multifamily common area.
Late at night, Stealth security professionals monitoring a Texas multifamily residential community were alerted to activity onsite at the community clubhouse. One individual was seen on camera accessing a closed gate, and moments later three were seen on cameras in the clubhouse. Local police were immediately contacted and arrived onsite quickly, removing the group in handcuffs.
Multifamily residential properties face a variety of security concerns, and among the most significant issues is when amenities like pools and clubhouses are trespassed on or loitered in, impacting both security and community harmony. Trespassing in shared spaces often leads to vandalism, noise complaints, and safety concerns, which can disturb residents and potentially deter prospective tenants. The challenge is exacerbated by the difficulty in monitoring these areas consistently without incurring substantial costs.
To combat these issues, properties increasingly rely on technological solutions like CCTV and remote video monitoring and surveillance. These systems can both serve as deterrents and can assist in liability claims, providing evidence for incidents that occur within these amenities. This kind of proactive technology can be pivotal in deterring unauthorized access and in helping property management respond swiftly to incidents. Stealth has extensive experience responding to trespassing incidents like the one above, for example, in a recent incident at a Philadelphia apartment building that can be seen here: Real-Time Surveillance Helps Deter Trespassing in Multifamily Community Amenities
Additionally, properties may implement physical deterrents such as enhanced lighting, fencing, or even access controls like key fobs and coded gates to restrict entry to residents only during specific hours. While effective to a degree, these measures require constant updating and monitoring to remain effective against trespassers who might find ways around passive security measures.
Real-Time Security Resolution with Advanced Live Video Surveillance Monitoring
While traditional security measures like passive surveillance cameras and physical barriers serve a purpose, they often fall short in effectively deterring and dispersing criminal activity. Sophisticated offenders frequently circumvent or disregard these conventional safeguards. Standard surveillance may provide post-incident evidence, but it lacks the crucial ability to intervene as events unfold.
