Benefits of Virtual Guards for a Warehouse

What Is a Virtual Guard?

A virtual guard can be shortly summarized as a remote security guard. How is that? Thanks to modern technology of course. Using a combination of video and communications technology, motion- and heat-sensing technology, and artificial intelligence, our guards are able to monitor properties from a distance. So, what are the benefits of hiring virtual guards? Let’s go over some of the advantages.

Fewer Boots on The Ground

Physical security guards have it rough. Dozens of security guards die and thousands more suffer injuries every year. We believe that all of this is for naught. You can get a similar level of security with virtual guards, without risking any lives. Cameras can easily be installed to cover every inch of the property, eliminating the need for security guards to patrol the area. If the virtual guard notices unusual activity or unauthorized entries, then they will intervene by either using real-time two-way audio or by calling local authorities. Most of the time, trespassers flee the scene as soon as they hear the loudspeakers.

No One Calls in Sick

If you own a large warehouse, then you might be thinking, "How is a single virtual guard going to monitor all of those screens?" To which we say, "We have an army of virtual guards."

While you might scramble to find a security guard to cover the shift of one who’s called sick, we have no trouble moving guards from one "location" to another. In our realm, we can have a virtual guard "dispatched" to your property with a few clicks and keystrokes.

Artificial Intelligence Doesn’t Miss a Thing

Though we have plenty of virtual guards, at the end of the day they are all human. They are prone to getting distracted or tired. Fortunately, artificial intelligence is not human. Our proprietary technology is capable of identifying and categorizing objects in the surveillance film then notifying the virtual guard of any unusual activity. Don’t worry, this technology also filters out false alarms such as changes in lighting, falling leaves, visiting animals, or even authorized personnel.

It Is More Affordable Than You Might Think

Perhaps the best part of hiring virtual guards is the affordability. You might be surprised to learn that hiring a few virtual guards is cheaper than hiring a few physical security guards.
