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. 


Advantages of offering mobile surveillance:

  • Improves customer perception as a leader in the industry offering innovative solutions to your clients
  • Win more bids and grow your company because you a better lower cost option between patrol and posted gauards
  • Force multiplier helps you cover more properties with less people
  • Improves customer satisfaction because they can have video evidence when a crime is prevented
  • Increase revenue without any additional upfront costs

Will video surveillance and video monitoring replace security guards? The answer to that is NO. There is no question that advances in video AI and surveillance are changing the role of traditional security guards. 


The technology that makes this discussion even a consideration is artificial intelligence.  Video AI is not new.  In the security industry we started using some types of AI 10-15 years ago.  We used to call it video analytics.  In a previous post we discuss the difference between video analytics and motion detection.  It is an exciting area of tech right now.  Here are just  few of the developments that we have seen in the past 3-4 years.  Cameras now have the ability to detect clothing styles such as pant length and sleeve length. Clothing color can be detected and archived as well as clothing accessories such as glasses and back packs. 


Vehicle color, make, model, and license plate number can all be archived by AI models.  


Behavior of people can be detected.  This could be falls, crouching, holding a gun or brandishing a weapon


Sounds can be also be detected and classified.  Gunshots, threatening voices, and other sounds can also be detected and used to alert responders.  


Now getting back to the role of security guards. Video Surveillance systems are evolving to become the eyes and ears while security guards will likely focus on response and enforcement.  This trend is already underway and will likely accelerate in coming year. 


GoView partners with security guard companies.  Our dealer program was created to work with security guard firms.  Please contact us if you are interested to becoming a GoView dealer or reseller.  As a guard company you can benefit by using our technology as a force multiplier.  Cover more ground with fewer people.
