Portable surveillance systems is a cost effective way to protect your business.
Keeping a watchful eye on company financial statements, especially the line items tallying operating expenses, comes as second nature for many business leaders. Streamlining costs and maximizing efficiencies comprises a solid business plan—and it’s no different for the line item for parking lot security.
It can be challenging to earmark expenses to enhance parking lot security and surveillance. There are different factors business leaders must consider before deciding on the most cost-effective solution. The first step is to conduct a comprehensive security plan to understand and better assess potential problems. With this information, company leaders can tap their asset protection professionals to recommend the best measures, which can range from hiring a team of professional security guards to installing security cameras.
But for those whose job it is to grow the bottom line, security can be a pricey proposition. Employing a team of professional security guards 24/7 can be expensive. Mean hourly wages for unarmed security guards, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, vary between $15.07 to $29.24 per hour. This totals an annual salary that ranges from $31,350 to $60,820 for each employee.
Installing a network of fixed security cameras in parking lots is expensive and can be out of scope for many business owners. Because parking lots lack the infrastructure that buildings have, direct installation of surveillance cameras is a difficult endeavor. It only becomes more expensive as more cameras are integrated into the security system.
More often than not, deploying portable surveillance systems in parking lots provides businesses with the most cost-effective solution.
While portable surveillance cameras may require an initial, upfront investment, the long-term savings pay for themselves in a short time. Here’s how self-contained and self-powered LVT Units, powered by LVT’s proprietary platform, make a real impact on the bottom line almost immediately:
As our customers grow, LVT meets their need for scalable parking lot camera systems for their growing surveillance needs—at speed.
Since it only takes hours, not days, to deploy an LVT Unit—without having to install extraneous wires, hook up to power lines, or access the internet, customers can integrate additional portable security cameras seamlessly, quickly, and efficiently.
The results speak for themselves.
“Before testing LVT Units across 12 locations, our client had two to three armed robberies each week,” a security systems analyst for a leading pharmacy chain said. “One month into the pilot program and there were ZERO.”
Portable surveillance systems offer a great return on investment by delivering:
LVT combines high-tech security equipment with world-class surveillance software delivering a new industry standard in mobile security systems. From customized hardware to an intuitive security platform, integrating our portable security system—complete with live monitoring—can address the budget concerns that an in-house security team can present.
This strategy can work in tandem with guards or reduce a business’s reliance on them as the first line of defense. Since LVT’s equipment focuses on overt security to deter criminals, our systems provide businesses with state-of-the-art detection, unparalleled surveillance, and more “eyes” on the parking lot.
When comparing camera monitoring systems, LVT Units provide:
Our clients know the LVT difference and choose to deploy the most advanced security system on the market. In fact, one retailer saw a 69% decrease in grab-and-go thefts by placing our portable surveillance system in their parking lots. While LVT Units are typically stationed outside of the store, this retailer found that our units reduced merchandise shrink inside the store because bad actors never entered the building when they saw the cameras.
Another retailer decreased parking lot incidents by up to 70% by deploying LVT Units in their parking lots. These included a reduction in break-ins, violent crimes, loitering, and other incidents that impacted the store’s operations.
“Whenever we implement an LVT Unit, we eliminate suspicious activities and security incidents by 100%,” an asset protection manager for a construction materials retail distributor said.
