Had some upgrades made to my virtual guard system. As always with ArcEye, great, fast customer service. The technician who installed the system was friendly but all business - got it done pretty fast, then patiently explained the features and helped me set up the app for remote control of the system. Would highly recommend ArcEye Property Defense to anyone who needs a commercial proactive video monitoring service.

I have relied on ArcEye for my security needs for years now. I have yet to meet an employee who was anything but friendly, respectful and competent. That’s rare these days! I have property security protection, along with cameras now. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Owned an older ArcEye system that needed to be updated and moved to a new location. From the POS to installation everything went VERY well. The technician Austin went over and above to the system was moved to our newly needed location. He was maliciously clean in his work and was very patient with our questions. I highly recommend ArcEye Property Defense.

A security camera system is a must-have if you want to protect your property from vandalism, theft, and burglaries. Still, simply having security cameras installed is not enough.

There are many ways you can tamper-proof your security cameras, and ArcEye Property Defense is here with some tips. If you are interested in proactive video monitoring by trained virtual guards, then call ArcEye Property Defense to learn more about our premier services.

Mount Your Security Cameras in Hard-to-Reach or Out-of-Reach Areas

Make tampering with your security cameras an impossible mission. Rather than mounting security cameras near ladders or staircases, install them on high ceilings, on the roof, high up on walls, or the sides of your building. An added benefit of this tip is that your cameras will get a better view of your property from higher up. This can help cover a larger area and more likely identify suspicious activity in the vicinity.

Have Your Cameras Watch Each Other’s Backs

Place your cameras so that each is in the frame of another camera. This way, criminals will not have blind spots to freely tamper with or damage your security cameras. It’s also a good idea to install security cameras in high-traffic areas where it’s riskier for criminals to spend time tinkering with your property.

Camouflage or Hide Your Security Cameras

Criminals can tamper with security cameras that they cannot see, and there are a few ways you can conceal your security cameras. You can purchase special camouflaged security cameras or even paint the area behind the camera to disguise the camera. You can also take advantage of nooks and crannies to hide the security cameras. Be careful, though, that functionality of your security camera is not compromised in the process. Pay particular attention to lighting and image quality if you are going to hide cameras under shadows.

Physically Protect Your Security Cameras from Vandalism

Dedicated criminals might be able to find and reach your security cameras, so fortify your defenses by enclosing your security cameras in vandal-proof casing. Look for durable materials that can withstand impact and provide water-resistance. Also make sure the casing does not obstruct the camera’s field of view or reduce its video quality.

Invest in Backup Batteries and/or Generators

Some criminals are especially sophisticated, capable of shutting down the electrical supply to your security cameras. Make sure your electrical system is safe and secure, and consider investing in backup batteries and/or standby generators that will power your security cameras in the event of a power outage.

Hire Dedicated Security

Relying solely on security cameras might not be enough to protect your property. Invest in on-site security guards, virtual guards in Nashville, TN, or a combination of the two for comprehensive security. Call ArcEye Property Defense to learn about how our proactive video monitoring uses artificial intelligence and sophisticated technology to protect hundreds of small, medium, and large businesses of all types.
