From young couples to wealthy families and retirees, countless buyers and renters seek out gated communities for their homes. Of course, most of these prospective residents are drawn to gated communities for the sense of security ensured by their spear tipped gates and physical security guards stationed at the entrance.

Unfortunately, after signing their leases, many of these proud new residents discover that theft and property damage is a reality despite white picket fences and friendly neighbors. Gated communities regularly open their doors to guests and delivery providers, and one must ask how committed to protecting a community a $15/hour security guard will be.

After experiencing extensive property damage in more than 800 homes, several gate entrances, and pool and recreation areas, the Vineyard Subdivisions gated community, located just outside of San Antonio, decided it needed to step up its security measures. In response to the vandalism, trespassing, and damage, President of the Vineyard’s homeowners association, Jeffrey Kahl, has stated, “Security was not having the authority we needed and wasn’t going to prevent anyone from causing damage. It was almost a joke.”

After researching and discussing their options, the Vineyard’s homeowners association board decided to install live video monitoring, including IP megapixel cameras, around gate entrances and recreation spaces. Kahl has observed enormous benefits since implementation of live video monitoring. The cameras have helped to catch perpetrators and even to keep residents in line. Kahl recounts a specific occurrence: “One person that accidentally rammed the gate, because of the cameras, called in and told us that they had done it.” The live monitoring ensured proactive security to act on any camera disturbances, and a audio speaker system accompanied by strobe lights would scare off intruders by informing them of the monitoring system and its connection to authorities.

Another concern of homeowners in gated communities is that of HVAC theft, discussed by Stealth Monitoring Sales Manager, Rick Charney, in this article.

Kahl admits that live video monitoring was a considerable financial undertaking but believes that the costs saved in property damage more than compensates for the investment. “It became apparent quickly that this system would be significantly less expensive than a roving guard patrol and was more effective in preventing and mitigating vandalism.

Every HOA with at least 100 homes experiences some type of security concerns and virtual guard services must be a considered alternative. Whether you’re a member of a gated communities’ homeowners association or a concerned resident, you may want to look into live video monitoring for optimum protection of your neighborhood.

According to the National Crime Prevention Council, apartments are 85 percent more likely to be victimized by burglaries than any other type of housing. Over 95 percent of potential renters look for apartments in neighborhoods perceived to be “safe,” and crime plays a significant part in where they choose to live. Personal attacks and thefts are among the top fears of occupants in apartment buildings.
 
While occupants can protect themselves from burglaries and personal attacks by taking basic security measures, such as installing deadbolts and keeping all valuables in safes or safety deposit boxes, all the weight shouldn’t fall on the shoulders of renters. While 25 percent of apartment inhabitants arm themselves with mace or pepper spray and 23 percent use light timers and switches to “trick” potential burglars into thinking they are home, there are plenty of things landlords and apartment managers can do to protect their inhabitants.
 
Recently, an upsurge in the installation of live video surveillance has been charted across the nation. And proactively watching the cameras makes the investment in equipment much more valuable. Live video surveillance services, which are provided by Stealth Monitoring, must be considered when researching security cameras as an alternative.
 
Stealth Monitoring isn’t your ordinary video surveillance system. While plenty of apartment complexes and public areas use video surveillance, the video surveillance is usually only used after a crime or incident occurs. For example, if an apartment complex using video surveillance is broken into, the landlord can show the tapes to the police in hopes of potentially catching the culprit. But if live video surveillance is used, the authorities can be alerted before the criminal even has a chance to burglarize the area. Stealth Monitoring has relationships with police forces around the country and will alert the local police as soon as suspicious activity is noticed.
 
The cameras are monitored at all times by professionals, usually former police officers or those who have retired from the armed forces who know exactly what to look for. Our main goal is stopping the criminal from ever committing a crime, not waiting until the crime has been committed to catch him or her. Not only can we protect your apartment complex from copper theft, but we can protect you against all types of property damage: whether it’s burglary, theft, or unwanted loitering, the live video surveillance experts at Stealth Monitoring can help protect you, your tenants, and the apartment complex in which you live.
