How many security guards are employed in the United States?
Every day, Stealth monitors cameras in real time at commercial sites across North America. We can see suspicious behavior, activate a speaker warning, and call the local police. The past month᾿s count:
Q: What happens when you see something on my property?
A: When an operator sees something suspicious, it escalates to their supervisor, who then makes a decision based on available data. An audio warning is the first method of deterrence. If necessary, the supervisor can either call authorities or the site contact. Since we are watching the activities in real time we can give police enough information to have the call register as a live crime in progress, which results in a faster response time.
