Is crime at your property leading to lower occupancy rates? Are you spending too much on security guards who aren’t achieving results? Are you tired of paying costly repairs due to property damage?
Meet ECAM’s team of security experts at the Maryland Multi-Housing Association (MMHA) 2020 Industry Development Day & Expo at Martin’s West in Baltimore, Thursday, March 12. We’ll be at booth 79!
Multifamily Property Challenges
As a property owner or manager, you have many responsibilities. Among them are attracting and retaining residents, reducing turnover, increasing revenue and maintaining a safe place to live. There are, however, several factors that can hinder your job.
For starters, many properties hire security guards or mobile patrol services for added protection. However, these options aren’t always the most effective or budget-friendly solutions. With no federal training standards, guards could be putting your residents at risk. In addition, one guard or someone making periodic visits to watch your property can’t be everywhere at the same time and could miss criminal activity taking place.
Trespassers and Loiterers can also impede your community’s safety. Not only do you run the risk of experiencing theft when unwanted guests visit your property, but when suspicious people are lurking, residents can feel unsafe. Both can affect your net operating income.
Property damage and liability can both increase operational costs while decreasing marketability.
Live Video Monitoring – A More Effective Solution
ECAM’s proactive remote video surveillance can help apartment communities protect themselves from these issues. As previously mentioned, security guards cannot be everywhere simultaneously…but we can. Trained security operators watch live cameras from a remote location to catch events before or as they happen. They can activate speaker warnings to scare off trespassers and call police. This often results in quicker response time and increases the chances criminals are caught while still on the property.
Additionally, Stealth a team of video review analysts who can study footage to help with investigations and insurance liability claims. For more than 15 years, we have been proactively monitoring cameras at hundreds of Class A, B, C and D apartment communities in North America for up to 60% less than traditional security guards.
