Reasons to Use Virtual Guards Instead of Physical Guards

In the past, the only two solutions available for commercial security were static security camera installations and the employment of physical security guards. Many businesses adopted both strategies to protect their assets from internal and external threats. However, these options could be expensive and weren't always as effective as promised. At ArcEye Property Defense, we have introduced a new way for companies of all sizes to improve their safety and security while reducing expenses. Virtual guards and proactive video monitoring can help companies protect themselves without hiring more staff. Are you on the fence about what options are best for your needs? Read below for a few reasons why virtual guards can be even better than hiring private security.

Proactive Video Monitoring

Live video monitoring is a great way to deter crime. That makes it an excellent investment for those concerned about theft, vandalism, or unauthorized entry into your building. A conventional security camera only records video after something happens. That means there's a delay between when you're notified of an incident and when effective action can be taken. In many cases, by the time you're informed, the culprit has already fled the scene.

Proactive video monitoring uses artificial intelligence algorithms and machine vision to detect signs of trouble before it happens. By analyzing patterns in the footage, these systems can tell when something is out of place at your location and trigger an alert automatically. This means that you'll find out about a problem before it has even happened—which gives you time to plan a response or preventative measure before it becomes severe enough to affect business operations.

Reduced Costs

Video monitoring and virtual guard services can help reduce costs for businesses by providing them with a more efficient way to monitor their facilities.

Real Estate - Virtual guards don't need office space, so you'll save on rent and utilities by not requiring a physical location for them to work from.
Training - There's no need to pay security personnel to undergo extensive training courses.
Payroll - Reduce payroll expenses by utilizing our services rather than hiring additional employees or contract workers.
Legal Liabilities - less worry about lawsuits, legal fees, and other issues that can arise from confrontations between security staff and criminals or suspicious bystanders.

Rapid Response Times

Rapid response times can help prevent theft, vandalism, and accidents in an emergency situation. If a guard responds faster to a problem, they will be able to react accordingly and minimize the damage done to property or people.

Crime Prevention

Virtual guards can help you reduce the risk of theft, vandalism, and injury. They are also ideal for reducing the risk of loss of life and property. In addition, a virtual guard provides a safer solution because there is no need to hire employees who will be exposed to dangerous situations on your behalf. They are also an excellent alternative if you have concerns about revenue loss or reputation damage.
