GoView has recently partnered with several security guard companies to help them offer mobile surveillance services to their existing business plan. We see this as a win-win collaboration which provides increased security to locations that need full time coverage at a reduced cost point.
Mobile surveillance solutions are to the guard industry what automatic hamburger flippers are to the fast food industry. It is automation. It takes a redundant lower skill task (watching a jobsite for activity) and allows a higher skill person to cover more sites while the surveillance system does the "watching"
Here is an example. A construction site hires a security guard company to do nightly patrols of their site. 3 times per night a guard drives to the site and spends 10 minutes doing a patrol. The driver drives through the site and looks for any suspicious activity and then leave. Total time on the site is 30 minutes per night. The customer is frustrated because despite paying for security they still have problems with theft on a regular basis. The customer is considering full time security and having a guard posted at the site all night 7 days a week. The problem is that this type of security is costly and because the site is so large, it may still not fully stop the problems.
In this case a mobile surveillance trailer is the perfect solution. By deploying a mobile trailer to the location, the guard service can be notified of any human activity on the site. The surveillance unit deploys strobes and recorded voice warnings while the live security guard is routed to the site. This solution is 1/3 the cost which the customer appreciates. This also helps the security company to retain a customer that they might have lost to another competitor offering a mobile security solution. Most importantly, the solution is effective and stops the losses due to theft.
