The unchecked behavior of intoxicated or disorderly residents in multifamily residential communities can create a range of issues for their fellow residents as well as property management. Without intervention, the presence of these kinds of potentially violent, disturbing, or disruptive behaviors can create a sense of insecurity among residents, diminishing the overall quality of life in the community. This can lead to challenges in attracting and retaining residents, as well as increasing turnover rates.
An ineffective or unmonitored security system in an apartment building or community, particularly in the presence of disorderly behavior, can lead to escalating and additional activity.
It is important to have security measures in place that can quickly intervene in, or respond to erratic, dangerous, or nuisance behavior by residents and their guests. Monitored live video surveillance can help deter and disperse these kinds of activities quickly and with minimal impact on the community.
Watch what happens when an apparently intoxicated individual creates a ruckus at a Pennsylvania multifamily residential complex in the video below:
At approximately 2:00 a.m., Stealth security operators monitoring a Pennsylvania multifamily community observed what appeared to be an individual under the influence acting erratically before attempting to enter the building, punching windows, and pounding on doors. Observing security staff activated onsite audible alarms and contacted local police dispatch in response. Officers and emergency personnel arrived onsite quickly and could be seen taking the individual into custody without further incident.
Boost the Security of Your Residential Community with Advanced Live Video Monitoring
Ensuring the safety and tranquility of your residents is an important aspect of property management. Picture a scenario where your residents step outside their homes, only to be confronted with the unsettling sight of an intoxicated person pounding on the entry doors or passed out in a common space. While this might seem like a minor inconvenience, it represents a broader spectrum of potential security risks that are best preempted.
At the core of efficient residential property management lies robust security. This is where Stealth’s live video monitoring can play a pivotal role. Designed to proactively help curb and reduce undesirable activities such as loitering, trespassing, vandalism, theft, and more, our system is often able to intervene before any significant harm or risk manifests.
Our live video monitoring system is a sophisticated blend of analytics-driven cameras and a team of expert security professionals. This combination allows for meticulous property surveillance, focusing on detecting suspicious behavior, not just mere movement. When our operators identify any activity or behavior that seems out of the ordinary or potentially concerning – much like the scenario mentioned earlier – they can promptly adhere to established site protocols. These actions can range from activating on-site audible alarms to notifying local law enforcement if the situation demands it.
Quick responses from police can significantly de-escalate a situation, and thanks to our monitoring operator’s ability to provide dispatchers with real-time details and descriptions, our call priority is typically elevated. This means officers can respond onsite quickly and locate bad actors, thereby safeguarding residents and the property alike, while also helping to mitigate liability risks.
