Advanced, Cost-Efficient Property Defense
As a property owner or manager, you are not only responsible for your own actions, but for the conduct of unwelcome intruders as well. Loiterers, squatters and the homeless can establish encampments that not only attract unlawful activity, but also pose difficult legal challenges to their removal. The best defense is a sophisticated approach that prevents encampments from forming in the first place.
Challenge
Defend property against illegal occupation
Large properties, such as shopping centers, parking lots, and corporate headquarters, can be the unfortunate target of vagrant populations who may loiter on your property, or worse—establish homeless encampments on site.
While these encampments may encourage illegal behaviors, such as drug use, theft, and vandalism, many states have laws that make removal difficult. In addition to being an unattractive nuisance, these encampments may threaten the safety of employees, customers, or guests.
Patrols are helpful, but they are expensive to apply at scale. The right security technology can help too, but it must have the power to intercept suspicious activity before it grows into an enduring threat.
Solution
Intercept unwanted activity quickly and inexpensively
By nature, loitering and camping behaviors establish themselves in the less-observable areas of your property, usually during off hours. ECAM provides technology and services that expand your reach at much less expense than increasing patrols or adding staff. Our solutions include:
- Anti-loitering functionality that can trigger alerts to the Command Center when visitors linger in your lot beyond the time threshold you establish.
- A Warning Speaker System that “talks down” to identified intruders, alerting them to your security presence and potential consequences.
- Mobile Surveillance Units (MSUs), which are portable hardware platforms that can support the cameras, thermal cameras, lights, and audio devices you need to detect activity in even the most remote corners of your site. Optional solar panels and/or diesel generators can provide power where electricity is not available.
- 24/7 remote monitoring through our Command Center, providing uninterrupted year-round surveillance. Our trained professionals are assigned to specific accounts, allowing them to distinguish potential intruders from familiar people and employees.
- To assist law enforcement and document activity, our surveillance units record 24/7 and store footage for seven days.
- Collaboration with physical guards to integrate technology and human resources.
- Options for permanently installed cameras that link to established CCTV networks.
Our Security Experts assess your site to target needs and gaps, and will design a custom approach built from the most appropriate combination of surveillance technology and monitoring services.
As part of the GardaWorld family of security solutions, ECAM can rapidly implement a successful security program at any scale.
