4 Reasons Virtual Guarding is the Smart Choice

Let’s be honest, we are living through some wild times right now. Especially if you are living in California. Although nationwide, everyone is dealing with economic problems and shortages, locally, we are dealing with an unprecedented spike in crime, violence, homelessness, drug abuse, untreated mental health instability, and more.

Certain controversial incidents in recent years have forever changed law enforcement and the ability to protect law-abiding citizens proactively. Political pressure, defund movements, and changes in the legal system have led to increased crime with little to no punishment for the offenders. All this leaves innocent citizens, and businesses like yours very vulnerable.

Sadly, most businesses don’t realize they need to increase security measures until it is too late and they are victimized.

So, what can you do to protect your business’ assets and staff from threats? One option is to hire in-person security guards to patrol your business grounds. But are you ready to shell out tens of thousands of dollars monthly for these security guards? If you’re in California, that rate will be much higher due to the consistent increase in minimum wage standards.

Beyond the financial pains of hiring security guards, if your business site is large, it can be difficult for one security guard to have eyes on your entire property or respond quickly to threats. Many companies also hire security guards that lack proper training. So, how can you proactively protect your business instead?

Virtual guarding offers an innovative alternative: installing a state-of-the-art HD camera network, monitored in real-time by a veteran security team of highly-trained private security personnel with a direct connection to law enforcement. If you already have in-person security guards, adding in virtual guarding is an excellent enhancement to your security protocols.

Let’s dive into the benefits of bringing on a virtual guard service (like VideoGuard) to protect your business and give you peace of mind:

1️⃣ SAVE MONEY

You will easily save upwards of 25-60% on security expenses by bringing on a virtual guard service like VideoGuard. Another financial aspect to consider is how much you’ll lose if your business is victimized and left unprotected.
