5 Times You Should Add Guards to Your Surveillance Cameras
If you’re considering guards for your jobsite or property you need to be asking yourself two questions.
> Can I reduce the number of guards with live video monitoring?
> Can I eliminate guards all together with live video monitoring?
Rather than list all the reasons to NOT use security guards, we decided to list the circumstances in which guards could be considered a necessary addition to live video monitoring. If you have questions about whether guards are necessary for your jobsite or property, please contact us today >>
Here are the five situations in which a security guard might be a good addition to live video surveillance:
1) After-Hours Entry and Exit Access Required
If your property or site requires 24-hour access then a security guard may be required along with your video surveillance cameras.
2) You Provide High Theft Incentive to Thieves
Do you make thieves feel safe robbing you? Do you give them obvious theft incentives? If you DO provide incentives and don’t plan to make changes, then a guard might be a good addition to your live monitoring.
3) Your Circumstances Require Immediate Security Response
No security fence? High foot traffic in a high crime area? Frequent looting? You might require an onsite guard with your video monitoring in these circumstances.
4) Cameras Not Allowed Inside Structure for Privacy Reasons
If there are resident privacy concerns or even government clearances that keep video out of certain areas then a guard might be a good addition to security surveillance.
5) Slow Police Force
If the police in your area are slow to respond to burglaries and break ins then an on site guard, assisted by live video monitors, could be a good idea.
We believe guards can provide a powerful layer of security. We’ve had great success in supporting on-site guards through our live video surveillance. In fact, that’s how we got the expertise to write 10 Ways to Increase Security Guard Effectiveness with Live Video Surveillance.
However, we frequently find property owners and jobsite managers relying on guards when they could be effectively securing their sites at a lower cost and with increased threat deterrence. We can’t stand by and watch people pay too much for less-effective security.
If you’re considering guards, please contact us today so we can help you get maximum theft prevention from your security dollars.
