Exceptional Value
| What We Do | Your Benefits |
|---|---|
| Up to 4 cameras installed. | We provide a mix of covert (hidden) and overt (obvious) cameras, as required and agreed by client. This allows you to choose how, where and when we monitor your employee and supplier activity. |
| No cost for cameras during contract period. | For the duration of your agreed-upon contract, we will provide teh cameras and installation at no cost to you. That means no investment needed if you decide that you no longer want the coverage we provide. |
| Mix of covert (hidden) and overt (visible) cameras as required | Using hidden cameras for key areas of vulnerability increases the likelihood that we will detect activity, while unconcealed cameras offer a strong deterrent effect. |
| 12 hours per month live monitoring | We use split screen observation, with up to 16 cameras running simultaneously. That allows us to monitor up to four clients, thus reducing cost per client while not diminishing quality of service. |
| Initial evaluation of site | Before we install cameras, we do a 28-item evaluation of your site (essentially, a risk analysis) to determine likely areas of loss. This assists us in focusing on problem areas when we begin monitoring. |
| Weekly review of all data | At the end of each week, we provide a summary of what we have observed (both positive and negative) to enable you to respond quickly to emerging issues. |
| Instant alerts for all problems detected | If we observe an incident occurring live, we immediately notify you and provide a snapshot of the activity. |
| Monthly report of problem activity with recommendations | At the end of each month, we provide recommendations for improvement and risk mitigation. |
| Live coverage of all key areas | Live coverage can be tailored to your preferences. You will be able to guide us as to when we should focus our attention on specific areas. As we familiarize ourselves with your flow of operations, we can augment your ideas with ideas of our own. |
| Potential to tie into your existing camera systems | Many existing cameras can be tied in and coordinated with our installations, with only minor modifications. |
| You may purchase cameras at end of contract period | At the end of any three-month contract period, you may purchase the cameras outright. |
| You may terminate service at end of each contract period | Our agreements with you are for three-month blocks. You may terminate after the first three months by giving five days notice. At any time after the initial three months, you may terminate at the end of each consecutive month. |
| You supply Internet access | You are responsible for internet connections. We will set up cameras using innocuous labels, so that anyone accessing the internet using your WiFi will not know the origins of the camera feed and will not be able to access them. Of course, you will have access to the camera feeds at all times. |
Generally, businesses recover less than 1/10 of the amount that is stolen by employees or suppliers. The perpetrators often do not have access to enough money to repay what they have taken. Businesses that opt to proceed with criminal charges also discover that the courts frequently do not order restitution and when they do, they do not order repayment of what you lost. That is where our exit interviews excel.
While we have great success on exit interviews, we rarely recover the full amount taken. Still, our restitution rate is five to seven times what the court manages to collect.
This leads to the obvious conclusion: it is better to prevent than to detect. Prevention eliminates problems before they occur.
We recommend that you begin with a brief checklist so that we can evaluate your risk potential for theft and fraud. It costs nothing. For a few dollars more, we can do a forensic analysis of your financial and inventory handling processes, to identify and respond to vulnerabilities.
In the majority of instances, we can set up systems and methods to eliminate much of the risk.
Security devices are only a part of the solution. Who will watch the cameras? Who will apprehend suspects? How will they know what to look for? We answer all those questions for you.
Many businesses already have security cameras, but no one monitors them. We provide a unique monitoring program that is neither an investigation service nor a security/alarm system. Yet, it provides all the benefits of both. And we can use your cameras to develop a remote monitoring program that will cost you as little as $80 per month for 12 hours of live monitoring, along with a monthly review.
This is ideal for a convenience store, a small warehouse, a business with a one- or two-person office.
We can provide you with recommendations of the best systems to install. We prefer not to be the retailer of any equipment line (although we do offer a limited array). In that way, we can be objective about what we feel is the best approach for you to take. Many quality cameras can be purchased for under $100, with an additional $60 in peripheral costs.
We use your weekly time allotment to develop recommendations to improve your security, as well as to identify suspicious activity. If we detect deviance, we can notify you immediately.
We also conduct regular spot checks at your establishment, looking for vulnerabilities to correct.
So what is the advantage of our program over regular floorwalkers, security services, alarm monitoring and regular accounting?
Two things: cost and benefit. We get results in a very efficient manner, relying on decades of experience and a knowledgeable CGA who specializes in identifying fraud risks. Because we offer very short shift (3 hours per week in a 3-month contract) programs that still cover the equivalent of 30 hours a week with our Cloud recording and motion-detection systems, you are getting comprehensive service for minimal cost.
Consider the benefits to your company and then consider the risk of having potential theft occurring routinely in your operation.
