Security cameras are a valuable tool to stop business break-ins. Recently, two would-be robbers in Cypress, Calif. climbed over a fence to enter a business property. Little did they know that they were being watched by an offsite security guard through real-time security camera monitoring.

The police were notified. The police spotted the robbers trying to hide on a roof of a nearby building. Both were caught and arrested.

24/7 Security Camera Monitoring. Security cameras are commonplace in all-sizes of businesses. The majority of these cameras are meant to record video for review later. Unfortunately, that means robbers can break in, steal merchandise and other items and be long gone before anyone realizes a theft has occurred. While the robbery may be caught on camera, odds are slim that the robbers will be apprehended based on the security camera evidence alone.

With 24/7 security camera monitoring, security service companies such as Access Control Security review camera feeds in real time. If someone breaks into a building, vandalizes property, trespasses or attempts any other illegal act, offsite security staff will see the crime in progress. Staff will then notify police immediately.

Catching a criminal in the act helps prevent damage and loss. In addition, because police can respond quickly, it increases the possibility of taking a criminal off the streets. The results are much more effective than watching the crime on video after it occurs–and then hoping police will find the criminals and insurance will pay for any property loss.
