Property owners and operators know that vehicle-related crime in their communities can hurt the online reputation of a multifamily residential property faster than you can say “Google it.” Parking facilities, therefore, are a high-value space for innovative security solutions.
Just after 3:00 a.m., a Stealth security operator noticed two individuals head into a California apartment parking garage. The pair weren’t dressed for the weather, sporting a heavy black coat with the hood up and a black hooded sweatshirt, so the operator determined they should be more closely watched.
The individuals proceeded to check multiple vehicles, prompting the trained security professional observing to contact local authorities.
Police were dispatched to the area, and quickly placed both individuals under arrest.
Live Video Monitoring Helps Catch Criminals in the Act
Maintaining a secure environment for your residents means ensuring the space where they keep one of their most important assets, their vehicle, is a safe place to park.
Vehicle thefts and break-ins have steadily increased in recent years, and apartment parking facilities have become a higher value target.
Criminals like the two caught in the video above see garages and lots as easy pickings late at night. They assume that most residents are home and asleep, and they’re free to check for unlocked doors or other means of accessing multiple vehicles quickly. Unfortunately for this pair, ECAM operators were watching.
ECAM offers live video monitoring for multifamily residential properties that is customized and works in real time. Watching when there is activity, not just motion, using a combination of analytics-based cameras and human intelligence.
Our trained security operators watch for suspicious activity. When we spot potential trespassers, vandals, or other threats, we can contact local police who typically elevate call priority due to our live-feed verification of suspicious behavior.
