Cloud Surveillance Software and Remote Video Guarding

As Ryan Strange, Founder of Protos Remote Video Guard division (formerly ControlByNet) states, “It takes a special group of people to work in multifamily where the clients do not operate in an open or closed facility. We must make immediate decisions about people that come and go at all hours.”

Customer Success in Our Communities

The goal of a community’s video surveillance software and/or remote video guarding is to deter or catch any unwanted activity so it can be dealt with accordingly, provide a mechanism to learn about the usage of the surveilled areas, and ultimately help manage a property with ease.

From garden-style apartment complexes to concierge-style high rises, we can work with you to create a customized security plan while staying within your budget. Our team will design a solution to ensure that your cameras are placed in the most efficient locations, maximizing your visibility. Our goal is to provide the most efficient design according to your community’s needs. The first step is generating a site survey to map out the locations of necessary cameras including direction and hardware placements. We work with our expert installers to ensure the correct placement of all existing and new cameras installed. The cameras then appear on our surveillance dashboard, and your site is monitored online 24/7/365. We provide adequate training to demonstrate our system and how to use it. Our team of experts can remotely guard as many cameras as you would like and can suggest which would maximize protection. From there, we partner with you for day-to-day support and maintain ongoing software updates.

But don’t just take our word for it. We’ve helped many multifamily clients improve their security programs.

A modern high-rise community in Atlanta, GA was looking to improve their security system and reduce crime throughout the complex. They converted their former system to Protos’ cloud-based video surveillance solution, which consists of a managed server onsite with key cameras dually recorded directly to the cloud. In addition, there are 60 cameras throughout the property, including hallways, garages and common areas. A viewing station is on a large LCD on the manager’s wall for instant site check-up. As the final level of security, the community utilized Protos’ experienced remote video guarding service offering for complete coverage across the property.

Our client support team assists with building evidence cases as needed to prosecute. The property previously experienced problems with car break-ins, unwanted visitors, package theft, illegal dumping, and they needed a better solution than scattered DVRs for managing the community.

“The ease of use of the system is something we never had in the DVR days of just buying a hardware device. Protos’ solution makes it so easy to actually manage the community, not just have a recording device in a closet and hope it’s operational when an event occurs. Problems have decreased by over 80% since the installation of the Protos solution. It has detected actions including package theft, car break-ins, and gate and pool damages. All individuals were identified and held responsible.”
