Virtual Guard Services offer the business owner a very attractive alternative to a traditional guard service. Business development is time consuming and expensive, so finding the right type of guard services are as important as maintaining your stock and finding the right employees. When thinking about security guards, most may consider the more traditional security guard service using live guards. But this is actually not as cost effective or as efficient as live video monitoring services.

Virtual Guards are More Cost Effective

In terms of business security solutions a virtual guard service always proves to be more economical and effective. Virtual guard services work around the clock protecting businesses for just a fraction of what a traditional security guard will cost. When compared to traditional guard services using one live guard, the business owner can expect up to a 70% savings with the use of virtual guard services, while improving security.

These Services are More Efficient

Live video monitoring services offer glaringly obvious differences when it comes to efficiency. A traditional security guard has the propensity to fall asleep during night shifts, and is sometimes able to be distracted, and can pose a liability threat. The virtual guard never sleeps and has a zero liability factor in terms of injuries or distractions.

Virtual guards offer eyes that are everywhere at once as opposed to a live security guard who can only be in one place at a time. The eyes of a virtual guard are always watching, they never miss anything. These types of services can assure businesses that 100% of their property is being guarded 100% of the time. Traditional guard services using one guard cannot.

Virtual Guards Remember Everything

In terms of an actual crime happening, the virtual guard also offers the eyewitness testimony through recorded videos, whereas a live guard can only rely on memory. A live security guard cannot time and date stamp their memory and offer word for word feedback at a court hearing. Video monitoring services remember it all, and back it up with live video. There is never a shadow of doubt. A security guard service can be an important factor to protect one’s property and business. But remember…the best security is that which uses live video monitoring.

There is also a certain degree of danger for the individual security guard if a crime is happened upon. The individual guard could become injured, maimed, or even killed in the line of attempting to avert a crime. Not so with live monitoring. With the installation of the vandal proof surveillance cameras, one can also have audio feed and reception installed. This allows the user to not only record the audio of everything that is going on, but they can also talk directly to the perpetrators in an attempt to thwart the crime from occurring and can be very pro-active in actually averting a potential crime.

While this does not mean that human security is outdated or antiquated, what this does mean is that the human factor can leave an individual harmed and at risk for violence. Why not use a live human agent safely back at the monitoring station to maintain the video monitoring in a secure environment and leave the virtual stealth system safely protecting the vulnerable assets in the field, taking all the risk while absorbing and recording everything happening on site? This is a win win for everyone involved.
