I’ve had great success working with ECAM on projects in and around Seattle… These cameras function as more than traditional security. You’ve got to think of it as documenting progress.
Mark Rosenwald Site Logistics Coordinator | Exxel Pacific, Inc.
ECAM is economical, dependable, and professional. They treat your property like it’s their property. You won’t realize how much time you spend on your problem center until you don’t have to spend that time anymore.
Steve Zimmerman Owner | Green Earth Realty
It’s not just cameras, and it’s not just monitoring. It’s people that care about the community. That kind of service, you don’t get that from many companies.
Shawnee Tharp Vice President of Asset Management | Trammell Crow Residential
ECAM makes it very easy for me to check up on my sites by giving me an app on my phone that allows me to check any camera on the site at any time of the day. If I see something wrong with the system while checking my phone, I can contact someone in customer service who will also assist me with other camera views or anything else I need.
Scott Caulfield Health & Safety Rep | Mattamy Homes
ECAM has helped reduce the amount of criminal activity on our garage significantly by sounding the alarms and contacting the police before further crimes can occur.
Noelle Phillips Senior Community Manager | CORE Apartments
I recommend ECAM to anyone who even thinks they need security. Anyone can have fancy technology, but ECAM has the people I trust to do their best for my team. You don’t get many people who’ll look you in the eye anymore, who’ll take the time to shake your hand, and you’ll know will hold themselves accountable for the end results.
Justin Akin General Manager | All Star Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram
Ozzie Flores and his team are phenomenal! I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mr. Flores on multiple occasions, and he’s always been very efficient, timely and knowledgeable about his products and the best practice to address my concerns. My agency has purchased several products and have been very pleased with both the products and support.
Don Lewis III Albuquerque Police Department
Since we’ve partnered with ECAM and GardaWorld, we’ve seen a significant decrease in trespassers, loitering, and people coming off of persons experiencing homelessness encampments onto our property, so that is a significant cost savings for Foothill Transit.
John Curley Chief of Safety and Security | Foothill Transit
The Hanover Sheriff’s Office has been proud to partner with ECAM. Their camera trailers serve as a deterrent to criminal activity and have been so well received by our business community that requests for their use are frequent. Overall this system has been a valuable addition to the crime prevention tool box utilized by the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office.
Captain Terrence Sullivan Hanover County Sheriff’s Office
They [ECAM] recommended the right cameras. They had the most current technology and great clarity; we could see faces and make identifications right off the feed.
Officer Mark Sternin Los Angeles Police Department
Train theft has gone down immensely. ECAM would be my first choice in any investigation I would do. We wouldn’t have been able to solve the case had it not been for their technology, it blew the case wide open.
Detective Joseph Chavez Los Angeles Police Department
We partnered with ECAM, who came in and provided multiple units for surveillance to assist us in identifying suspects, and in doing so, we were able to identify two major fences, recover over $20 million worth of product, arrest 34 individuals, and literally stop the activity that was occurring.
Captain Alfonso Lopez LAPD Commercial Crimes Division
One of the great things about ECAM is they were able to tailor make exactly what we needed here at the Port. So, I am a believer in ECAM, and anytime I reach out to other local law enforcement agencies or any partners, I always tell them how wonderful ECAM is.
Lieutenant Rosario Ferrara Los Angeles Port Police
We’ve noticed that since we placed the MSU’s in our parking lots we don’t get the vandalism, as much theft, and things seem to be kind of mellowing out. We see this partnership with ECAM as a positive thing and we’re just going to ride that positive wave.
Major Benny Jones Lambert International Airport Police
We were looking for different products for security solutions for parking lots and retail outlets and schools and so forth, and we reached out to ECAM and we’ve been using their product ever since. We had something like 52 B&E autos in a certain area within a certain time frame during the holiday season, and after implementing ECAM’s camera systems in those areas, we had zero the next year at the same time.
Chief Bill Partridge Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety | City of Oxford, Alabama
We’ve deployed numerous trailers with ECAM, and with every order, we’ve given a lot of feedback, and every new order is then built to our specifications, which has helped with our deployment and with how we use our trailers in the city of Oxford.

F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions for the Multi-Family Residential Industry
Do police actually respond in areas where it’s typically hard to get them on-site?
Yes. Our live video monitoring often leads to faster police response, even in areas where response times are typically slow. Because our operators provide real-time, video evidence of criminal activity in progress, law enforcement considers it a higher-priority call. This increases the likelihood of timely intervention and better outcomes for multifamily communities.
How can I understand the ROI of your services before making a decision?
We understand that ROI is a key factor in your decision-making process. That’s why we focus on thorough discovery and detailed documentation tailored to your property. By identifying specific challenges, like crime rates, liability risks, or security costs, we can show you how our solution helps reduce expenses and protect assets, giving you clear insights into your return on investment.
Do security cameras increase or decrease civil liability for property owners?
Properly implemented security camera systems typically reduce civil liability. By providing clear, documented footage of incidents, they help protect property owners against false claims and provide evidence in case of disputes. Additionally, proactive monitoring can help deter incidents before they occur, which can further minimize risk. We work closely with our customers to help ensure camera placement and usage follow legal best practices.
Are there ways to reduce upfront costs?
We offer flexible options to help reduce upfront costs. In addition to traditional purchase models, we provide leasing and subscription-based solutions that spread out expenses over time. This allows you to implement advanced security technology without a large capital investment.
