ECAM’s team of retail and shopping center security experts was in attendance at the ICSC Mid-Atlantic Conference & Deal Making, March 2nd and 3rd, in National Harbor, Maryland. We were delighted to meet with so many retail industry professionals.
Retail Security is as Challenging as Ever
When it comes to safety at a shopping center, the right security partner is critical. After all, securing a retail center is very different from securing other commercial properties. In addition to the lack of clear entries and exits, people like to congregate at shopping centers. When that happens, trouble can ensue. Break-ins, vandalism, parking lot incidents and loitering can be costly. In the short-term, you will have to pay to repair damaged property. However, the impact can have long-term effects, including driving away customers and tenants.
Enhance Your Security with Video Surveillance
Shopping centers are typically open, outdoor areas. That means there is a lot of ground to cover, making it almost impossible for one security guard to successfully protect the entire property. Adding more than one guard may not be financially feasible for everyone.
Enter live video monitoring. One security guard cannot be in more than one place at the same time, but Stealth can. Trained security operators monitor surveillance cameras in real time to watch for suspicious activity. If anything happens, they can act immediately to help prevent damage or crime before it happens. Cameras can be placed in strategic places around the property to cover storefronts, parking lots, dumpsters, back alleys and even rooftops, an area not always accessible to a guard.
Our solution also includes:
- Video review and analysis: A team of analysts will study hours of raw footage, analyze and edit it, then present you and/or police with a condensed clip of all incidents that occurred on your property.
- System health check: A proactive program that analyzes cameras, internet connections, hard drives, recorders and other on-site equipment to improve performance and maximize uptime.
Plus, much more, all for up to 60 percent less than security guards.
We had a great time at ICSC Mid-Atlantic Conference & Deal Making. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth.
