Proactive video surveillance can keep a watchful eye on your property when you and your staff have gone home for the night.
In this video, our trained security operators saw a group of men hanging out in the parking lot of a Dallas, Texas shopping center. One of them was drinking and dancing, one was sitting on the hood of a car, another was cleaning the tires on his vehicle, and a few appeared to be gambling. Our operators called the Dallas police who arrived at the property and made an arrest.
Loitering is a common problem at shopping centers and many businesses. While it may seem harmless, it can have negative effects on a property, not to mention it can lead to other violations and crime, like vandalism and property damage.
Proactive video surveillance is a cost-effective solution that can deter unwanted criminal activity. Trained security operators remotely watch surveillance cameras in real time, often from vantage points that may not be accessible to a traditional security guard. If they see anything unusual, they can activate a speaker warning and call local police.
