Smarter Security, Proven Savings

Surveillance ROI is calculated by comparing the cost of security systems to the financial losses they help prevent. This typically includes reductions in theft, vandalism, property damage, labor costs, and incident response expenses. Savings are measured over time and compared against system and monitoring costs.

Results vary by site, but many businesses see significant reductions in theft and vandalism after implementing monitored surveillance. Real-time monitoring, visible cameras, and audio deterrence help prevent incidents before losses occur rather than only recording them after the fact. 

In many cases, yes. Cameras alone only document incidents, while live video monitoring adds real-time intervention. The ability to detect threats early and deter activity as it happens often leads to greater loss prevention and faster ROI. 

Payback timelines depend on loss history, site size, and risk level. Some businesses recover their investment within months if surveillance prevents even a small number of theft or vandalism incidents. Higher-risk sites often see faster returns.

ROI calculations typically include equipment costs, monitoring fees, installation, maintenance, and operational expenses. These are weighed against avoided losses, reduced guard costs, lower incident response expenses, and potential insurance or liability savings.

ROI estimates are projections based on historical data, risk factors, and site conditions. While they cannot predict every outcome, they provide a realistic comparison of potential costs and savings using measurable inputs like incident frequency and average loss values. 

The biggest factors include incident frequency, asset value, hours of exposure, site visibility, and whether monitoring is proactive or reactive. Properties with recurring losses or large outdoor areas often see the strongest ROI improvements. 

Yes, ROI calculations often factor in reduced insurance claims, lower liability exposure, and fewer legal or damage-related costs. Video evidence and incident prevention can help businesses avoid costly claims and disputes.

Yes. ROI can be calculated at both the individual site level and across an entire portfolio. Multi-location businesses often compare performance between sites to identify where surveillance delivers the greatest return.

Businesses with valuable assets, outdoor storage, high foot traffic, or recurring incidents often see the highest ROI. This includes construction sites, retail centers, industrial facilities, multifamily properties, logistics yards, and automotive locations.

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.

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.

Yes, our reporting software is designed to help demonstrate the value of our services by capturing key metrics, such as the estimated cost savings of each prevented incident (e.g., $2,250 per vandalism). We’re also exploring enhancements through our Connect App to automate and streamline this reporting — something no other provider offers.
