Apartment associations are taking an increasing interest in up-to-date solutions that help residents ensure that their property remains safe and secure – be it possessions in cellar storage, vehicles parked near the building, or stairwells and surroundings that require protection from vandals and thieves.

G4S has developed video surveillance solutions that are suited for many apartment buildings, guaranteeing clients the greatest possible security at the lowest possible cost.

Larger apartment associations with more resources at their disposal tend to hire security guards. In a situation where the labour costs keep on rising and technology is becoming higher-quality and more cost-effective, there is no doubt that forgoing security guard for a video surveillance camera will result in appreciable savings. G4S’s video surveillance solution for apartment associations is meant for communities whose members care about what is going on outside the front door to their apartment. Video surveillance helps keep an eye on what is happening on the entire territory from entrance to parking lot, cellar, garage and entrance hall.

In fact, video can be used to monitor even more places, such as the trash dumpsters. Many apartment associations know well how refuse from non-residents tends to end up in the containers. Or there is the suspicion that the sanitation department does not make its pickups as frequently as it should. Or one of the residents of the building doesn’t care for sorting waste and pours food waste into the packaging container. Video helps easily resolve all of these concerns.

Playground on the screen

One problem in residential neighbourhoods is that unwanted visitors frequent the children’s playground. Examples include teenagers who strut their stuff on the swing sets or slides, or unthinking neighbours who “walk” their cats or dogs in the sandbox. To ensure the safety of your tykes and tots, do consider installing a camera on the playground. It is good to know that every mother can keep an eye on what her child is doing on the playground thanks to the computer or TV screen.

In small communities where people care about each other, it is natural for neighbours to look out for each other’s property. But neighbours can’t be everywhere at all times. And it goes without saying that no matter how eagle-eyed, neighbours do not record footage that can be used as evidence.

Security camera recordings allow the facts of a potential theft or loss event to be established, and provide evidence needed to apprehend a baddie and bring them to justice.

Trouble-makers hate video surveillance

Having a video surveillance system is an effective way to prevent crime and property damage along with the time and toll that such events take on one’s nerves – potential troublemakers simply avoid places where they run the risk of getting caught. G4S’s video surveillance systems are advantageously priced and if the investment seems too large, we can lease such surveillance devices as well.

Consultation and recommendations regarding video surveillance system solutions are free of charge for apartment associations.
