Why Remote Security Is the Best Crime Prevention Solution

Proactive Vs. Reactive Security

If you have ever called the police to investigate a break-in and followed that up by contacting your property insurance company to file an insurance claim, then you have partaken in "reactive security." Though this method may right some wrongs, it is incredibly stressful and time-consuming. Some costs, such as lost revenue and the damage to your business’ reputation, may never be reclaimed.

With proactive security, you prevent the crime from happening in the first place. This involves continuous monitoring and deterrence. Proactive video monitoring catches the criminals before they can commit their crime and virtual guards fend off the would-be culprits using two-way audio. The trespassers will hear the voice on the intercom and likely assume that guards are on the premises and dispatched to their location. Most offenders flee the scene during this step. If necessary, our virtual guards will contact local law enforcement without delay.

Less Liability

Managing a group of physical security guards is not easy. You are responsible for their training, benefits, and more. You are also likely on the hook if the guards experience injury or even death while on the job. Considering that thousands of guards suffer injuries and dozens lose their life every year, hiring virtual guards can save you from a lot of liability. You won’t have to worry about guards calling in sick either. ArcEye Property Defense has a formidable army of guards. We have the capability to quickly move around our many guards whenever necessary.

More Eyes on the Screens

Let’s face it: many crimes happen during the nighttime when guards can be sleepy. Luckily, virtual guards can monitor your property in real-time while in a completely different time zone. Plus, the virtual guards at ArcEye Property Defense are never alone.

Our proprietary video monitoring technology integrates artificial intelligences to continually scan the video footage. The artificial intelligence will catch red-flags and intrusions that the average physical guard might miss. The system will then alert the virtual guard, who will then take action. Our technology will even filter out false alarms such as falling leaves, flying birds, visiting animals, and authorized visitors.

Remote Video Storage

What happens if an organized criminal wants to get rid of any evidence of the crime? A sophisticated criminal might access your security room and delete footage. With remote security, your video footage can be backed up in a remote location. This can save you from a world of hurt when dealing with the authorities and property insurance company.
