The answer proved to be cameras. But cameras weren’t anything new, and neither was the realization that cameras do almost nothing to prevent theft, unless they were being monitored in real-time. The technology and A.I. that is included in today’s cameras is remarkable. It is comparable to having a dozen guards surrounding your business. The cameras are the continuous watchful eyes that alert our staff in the monitoring center to motion. But not just any motion. They discern between humans and vehicles. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes a business still needs a uniformed guard, and we continue to provide that service. But you would be surprised at the extent to which cameras can replace a guard. Most of my customers were able to make that transition from guard to camera, and none of them regret it, especially when there was no upfront cost for the installation. They merely kept paying monthly, but the invoices were much smaller. For example: one of my customers who was closed for 118 hours a week no longer had to spend 190 thousand dollars a year for a guard. Instead, they saved over 120K. They were quite pleased and neither of us had to worry about the guard calling off, not showing up, not doing their patrols, abandoning their post, and of course not sleeping on duty. The contract security guard industry, like many other industries, is increasingly relying on automation and A.I. for efficiency and cost-cutting. The advantage Hunter Security has is our long-time involvement in the guard business which allows us to know exactly how to use the cameras to replace the security guard.
