An apartment security camera assisted in helping to prevent a young boy from entering a pool area at a multifamily complex. The boy climbed the fence at the community pool area but was deterred by a ECAM on-site speaker.
Speaker warning help stop boy climbing apartment pool fence
The boy climbed the fence at 2:12 pm. A trained ECAM operator watched the activity in real-time on an apartment security camera. The live surveillance operator activated the on-site speaker. The boy immediately climbed down and ran away from the pool area.
Real estate companies need to provide a safe property for tenants and guests. Apartment complexes can be held responsible for wrongful acts even when the owners or staff are not present.
Apartment security cameras for community areas such as business centers, laundry facilities, and swimming pools help enforce multifamily property rules. Live operators can help protect a multifamily apartment owner, leasing company, manager, or homeowners association from liability and legal claims.
Apartment complexes have been sued because of injuries, sickness, and deaths associated with property defects, criminal activity, pool drownings, car accidents, health hazards, and animal attacks. Recently, a tenant sued a Houston apartment complex for “alleging failure to exercise reasonable care to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm to invitees.”
On average, there are over 3,500 non-boating drowning cases in the United States each year. 20% of drowning deaths involve children under the age of 15. Drowning is also the second most common cause of accidental death for children 1-4 years old.
Here are a few common-sense safety precautions that can prevent drowning cases and fatalities:
- Use a live video surveillance service with an apartment security camera covering pool entrances and fences
- Install alarms on doors and windows that lead to pool areas
- Have a phone nearby with pre-programmed emergency numbers
- Have an easily accessible first aid kit
- Provide poolside rescue equipment
- Install four-sided fencing with self-closing and self-latching gates
