Commercial Surveillance Systems for Property Managers
As a property manager, you understand how important it is to ensure the safety of a property and the safety and well-being of those who live or work at that property. You also know that paying for a security guard isn’t always the best option, but there are still solutions. In this article, we’ll discuss our commercial surveillance systems for property managers and why they’re a perfect solution for your needs.
Video Surveillance
Our Perfect View surveillance system allows you to link and monitor multiple locations and view the feed from those locations through a single source. Viewing all the feeds from a single source makes it ideal for franchises and property managers who take care of multiple properties. A video surveillance system also deters crime, as shoplifters, prowlers, and thieves are less likely to commit crimes if they know there’s a camera on them.
A video surveillance system at a commercial location also allows property managers to monitor employees, as they’re less likely to misbehave if they know a surveillance system is watching them. A video surveillance system also helps to reduce employee theft by allowing you to see who is stealing office supplies, find someone who is leaving work early, or leaving early and then returning before others realize they left.
Thermal Surveillance
If you’re wondering about other surveillance systems, a thermal surveillance system is also a good choice. Since traditional security cameras need light to show what’s happening at the location, a thermal imaging camera does not. Since the thermal imaging camera doesn’t need light, it is harder to avoid the camera as the person can’t hide in darkness or shadows. Also, a thermal imaging camera is easier to hide as it can detect temperature differentials even when partly blocked.
AI detection allows you to sort out potential false alarms from other heat sources and only focus on human bodies. The advanced algorithms ensure reliable accuracy thanks to Perfect View’s proprietary temperature measurement algorithm. Perfect View’s thermographic cameras also have bi-spectrum monitoring, which means that they don’t just measure temperature, but also have optical and thermal image channels. The embedded audio alarm in the system notifies those monitoring the cameras when it detects an abnormal temperature, allowing them to take action and alert others as needed.
Our Perfect View thermographic cameras are highly accurate, with a variant of plus or minus 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit and they’re highly efficient, only taking a split second to detect someone’s temperature. In the time of COVID-19, you can measure someone’s temperature from a distance without ever seeing them, increasing the safety of everyone else in the building by not having to come into contact with someone who has a fever.
License Plate Reading Cameras
License plate reading cameras, or license plate recognition cameras, use infrared illuminators or ambient lighting to capture numbers and letters on a license plate, even at night. Having a license plate recognition camera is helpful as it will assist law enforcement officers in the event of an incident directly or indirectly related to your business. Unlike other surveillance cameras, the sole purpose of a license plate reading camera is to capture the details of a license plate for the purposes of gathering evidence.
Law enforcement uses license plate reading cameras to solve vehicular crimes, theft of vehicles in parking lots, illegal dumping, and other areas. LPR cameras accurately capture license plate details no matter the lighting conditions, even when the vehicle is moving up to 130 miles per hour.
It’s easy to use an LPR camera, all you have to do is affix it to a part of the building or utility pole and you’re set. The portability and versatility of the cameras make it easy to set up in multiple locations to fit your surveillance needs. If something happens in your parking lot, you can breathe easier knowing you have a tool that will help law enforcement officers find the vehicle and people involved in the incident.
