-
Question: Why should I invest in video surveillance and monitoring for my small business?
Answer: There are many reasons why we feel that video surveillance is not just nice to have, it’s critical. First, it works even when you can’t be there.

It is affordable and readily available for optimal security.
-
Question: How many security cameras do I need?
Answer: Determining the number of security cameras needed depends on your specific security goals and the layout of the area to be monitored. We will work with you to assess your property, looking at things such as key entry points, vulnerable areas, and locations where incidents are more likely to occur. We will then consider the cameras we recommend and create a layout to showcase the quantity and visibility of the cameras.
-
Question: Can I manage a robust video surveillance system remotely?
Answer: With today’s technology, it is possible to view and manage your security surveillance system remotely. Often with the touch of a button you can have eyes on your property to determine the level of threat. Alternatively, you can grant Allied Universal permission to monitor and respond on your behalf. Our goal is to find a solution that gives you the visibility and control you need for peace of mind.

Question: If an incident is caught on camera, what happens? How do I ensure there is a quick response?
Answer:
When you receive an incident alert, the next steps are dependent upon not only your individual video surveillance system, but the incident response protocols put in place. Ideally the person or persons monitoring your property would be the first line of defense, identifying if there is a real threat or if it is a false alarm. If real, there would be a series of steps to follow, again dependent upon the system itself that could include the use of talk-down capabilities, calling emergency services, dispatching security, or simply doing nothing.
