SECURITY SYSTEMS®

For purposes of definition, CSSS VIDEO SERVICES can provide PROACTIVE or REACTIVE monitoring of the property.

• Reactive monitoring is receiving a signal from a system that indicates that there is a problem - such as an alarm activation or panic button activation.

• Proactive monitoring is provided based upon a specific “look-in” schedule - such as an hourly tour to replace or augment the services of a security guard or drive-by patrol service.

The main purpose for CSSS VIDEO SERVICES at apartment complexes is to replace or augment costly security guards, deter crime and vandalism, and to provide customer service.

• To accomplish this, CSSS VIDEO SERVICES utilizes pan tilt zoom (PTZ) cameras, audio call boxes, microphones and speakers.

• Our video monitoring center can utilize the cameras to evaluate the situation and either “run off” a suspect utilizing the speakers and microphones, or dispatch law enforcement.

• CSSS VIDEO SERVICES monitoring center’s calls to your local law enforcement dispatch centers are welcome. Through the eye of the camera, real-time information is being reported giving the responding officers better information about the suspects, their vehicle(s), exact location, activity and if they have weapons. This results in appropriate and faster response.

• Stable security costs - CSSS VIDEO SERVICES is immune TO escalating labor costs, cost of living indexes and other factors, which cause guard services to increase their pricing.

• CSSS VIDEO SERVICES cameras cannot be intimidated or threatened into “looking the other way” or be “bought off.”

• CSSS VIDEO SERVICES cameras cannot be anticipated by lookouts watching for the guard on his tour.

• CSSS VIDEO SERVICES takes away the first goal of the drug dealer, burglar, rapist or vandal: to “get away with it.” Being recorded on camera AND being seen in live action is the greatest deterrent to criminal activity.

• Reduced liability exposure - Most insurance companies look favorably at properties with leading edge security systems, leading to lower premium costs. Electronic systems are considered far more effective than traditional guards, which traditionally face issues such as inadequate training and poor supervision, and are often lacking in sound judgement.

• Stable staff - Site employees work better and stay longer where they feel secure.

• Enhanced bottom line - A stable property brings with it less turnover, higher rents, higher occupancy, less advertising expense and lower maintenance costs. The cost savings pays for the video surveillance system and monitoring.

• An enhanced community image - A property that is not attacked by crime becomes an asset to the community, as well as the owner and manager who have their names attached to that property.

• Expanded management capabilities - With systems accessed through the Internet, you receive software which allows you to view you property from your PC, providing an anytime, anywhere ability to check your property.

• CSSS VIDEO SERVICES should be considered as a valuable member of your property’s management team. For example, if there is a report of undesirables loitering on the property, management should immediately contact the monitoring center to have them observe and communicate with the person(s) and “run them off” or summon law enforcement, thereby eliminating physical confrontation and making a safer working environment for employees. Let CSSS VIDEO SERVICES know of special events or possible problems and instruct them to add video patrols. The cost is minimal in relation to the benefits received. At any time, video patrol schedules can be modified to fit the changing patterns and moods of the property.

In addition to the above capabilities, we strongly encourage installation of Digital Video Recorders for 24-hour documentation of activity on the property. Camera control and monitors can be provided to allow management to supervise employees’ activities during business hours. Software is also available so that the cameras can be accessible through the Internet.
