Successful business owners are constantly thinking about ways to reduce costs and maximize their earnings. This month, we focus on strategies multi-residential properties can utilize to increase profits, cut costs and improve the bottom line.
Your Catch of the Month
In this month’s video, a group of young men taking illegal drugs in the parking lot were observed by ECAM’s team who were able to successfully dispatch police and rid the community of this unwanted activity.
Managing an apartment building requires keeping an eye on many moving parts. Ensuring technology remains updated and in working order is important to make sure things always work as planned.
Thieves and burglars find more opportunities for break-ins and theft in multi-family residential communities. Every apartment and condo property’s needs differ but they all have one thing in common – the need for security.
When residents move out, they leave behind broken and unwanted TVs, laptops, cell phones, and computers. Any electronics that end up in the trash can lead to contaminating resources, adding to landfill levels, and driving up waste bills.
Q: How does live video monitoring increase police response time?
A: When police receive a call from Stealth, they know we’re watching live. It’s an incident in progress and not a false alarm. So, they can respond quickly and with the force and number of officers needed. Our trained operators can stay on the phone to direct officers to where the incident is occurring. They can provide real-time information, such as the number, location, description, and activity of suspects, make/model/color of vehicles, and the location of weapons or equipment.
Security Tip
Lighting
Lighting is probably the most inexpensive security measure and is probably one of the most important. Apartment common areas need to be well-lit. Perform periodic inspections of the property to identify areas for lighting improvements.>> Read more
