Challenge
Protect parking lots without overextending patrols
Parking lots may not occupy the bulk of your attention, but they often occupy a considerable amount of ground. The more obscure corners of your lots can be attractive to squatters, loiterers, and the homeless, or can be appealing as illegal dumping sites, which impose disposal costs on property owners.
Large parking lot perimeters make them expensive to patrol, and they often lack easy access to power, lighting and Internet connectivity. If under-secured, your lots leave your buildings and vehicles exposed to theft, graffiti, and vandalism. Worse, the safety of your employees, visitors and staff may be compromised.
The traditional response—additional guard staffing—can be expensive, yet conventional CCTV cameras require power and connectivity that may not be readily available, even if resources are in place (which they are often not) for monitoring them.
Solution
ECAMSECURE applies advanced technology to achieve efficient security
Parking lots merit attention, but not at the expense of cost-efficiency. That’s why ECAMSECURE has developed a range of technology solutions, rooted in decades of experience in human surveillance, to secure parking lots without burdening budgets with additional human-resource expenses. Our options include:
Mobile Surveillance Units (MSUs)
Parking lots are often vast areas that are expensive to patrol and difficult to monitor with traditional wall- or pole-mounted cameras. ECAMSECURE’s MSUs are flexible hardware platforms that can be literally rolled into any environment, including those without electricity (optional solar panels and/or diesel generators provide an independent source of power). For even greater flexibility, our MSUs can be loaded with a variety of cameras, camera types (video, thermal), lights, and audio options.
Command Center
For year-round, 24/7, uninterrupted surveillance, our U.S.-based, UL-listed Command Center provides remote monitoring by trained experts. Their access to photo and video documentation allows them to contact law enforcement with evidence of intrusion, elevating your threats to a priority matter of concern. High-quality, time-stamped video provides documentation of events critical for criminal investigations and/or liability concerns.
In addition, ECAMSECURE reinforces security with functions especially applicable to parking lots, including:
- License Plate Recognition software that reads and records the plate identification data of every vehicle that enters and leaves your lots, providing documentation that supports subsequent criminal investigations and/or liability claim issues.
- Anti-loitering functionality that can trigger alerts to the Command Center when visitors linger in your lot beyond the time threshold you establish.
Our Security Experts can custom-design a security plan to meet the unique requirements of your parking lots and budget concerns. After performing a comprehensive site assessment to identify security needs and gaps, the Security Expert applies the appropriate mix of MSU technology and Command Center remote monitoring to provide excellent and cost-effective protection.
As part of the GardaWorld family of security solutions, ECAMSECURE’s parking lot security options are prepared for rapid implementation at any scale.
