Construction Site Video Surveillance

How Video Surveillance can Reduce Costs for Security Guard Companies

Back in the day, security guard companies like yours were the logical first defense against crime, vandalism, and trespassing. But in our ever-changing world – with evolving technology, higher value targets, and more shrewd criminals – yesterday’s stalwart guard services are facing unprecedented, new challenges. Topping the list are rising costs, the natural limitations of human surveillance, and the need for 24/7 coverage.

As the demand for tighter, stronger security increase, so does the pressure for your security guard company to deliver top-notch services without breaking the bank.

That’s what makes Power Plus Designed Video Surveillance (DVS) the perfect partner. Always on the clock, always on the leading edge, and always on the money, we offer custom designed security solutions that help security guard companies cut costs, streamline operations, and provide a higher level of protection.

By combining a strategic blend of our advanced video security system technology with your traditional security guard services, Power Plus DVS transforms the safety and security of today’s companies, keeping you ahead of the curve — and ahead of the criminals. With a custom DVS surveillance plan designed specifically for any property – including a 100% U.S.-based team, 24/7 live-monitoring professionals, and cutting-edge analytic software – we provide a comprehensive, “Always On” approach to not only complement any security guard services but elevate them.


Understanding the Challenges Faced by Security Guard Companies

It’s easy to list the challenges that security guard companies like yours face today. It’s another thing to understand them. And even more important to explain them:

Top 3 Challenges Security Guard Companies Face Today

High Operational Costs

Let’s be honest — running a security guard company isn’t cheap. The costs of employing multiple guards to cover large areas can add up quickly. You’re always paying for wages, benefits, training, and the overhead that comes with managing a team. And when you need more guards to cover high-risk areas, those costs just keep climbing.

Limitations of Human Surveillance

No matter how skilled your security guard team is, human surveillance has its limits. Security personnel are always doing their best. But fatigue, distractions, and simple human error are inevitable. (“Hey, they’re only human.”) A single security guard can only keep an eye on so much at the same time, leaving potential gaps that intruders can exploit. These limitations often lead to the need for more guards, which drives costs spiraling higher.

Need for 24/7 Surveillance

In the security industry, being "Always On” isn’t just a goal — it’s a necessity. But providing 24/7 coverage with human guards alone is a tough business. Guards need breaks, shifts, and management, making it complicated to deliver continuous, seamless guarding services. Without around-the-clock coverage, your clients' properties are vulnerable during off-hours, which is a risk no one can afford.


The Benefits of Adding Power Plus DVS to a Security Guard Approach

Not only can a custom-designed Power Plus DVS plan keep your customers safer, combining it with your security guard services can lead to significant savings – for them and you – by reducing security guard costs and often your insurance rates.

1. Comprehensive Coverage

24-hour service is the only way to offer maximum security. But people have to sleep and eat (among other things). At Power Plus DVS, we’re literally “Always On,” filling the gaps where human surveillance falls short. We strategically place our surveillance cameras to keep an eye on every corner, eliminating blind spots. With our security system, you’re always covered, allowing you to reduce the number of guards you need. This level of comprehensive coverage not only increases security, but it also makes your security personnel deployment more efficient.

2. Cost Efficiency

Let’s talk savings. By incorporating Power Plus surveillance, security guard companies can significantly cut down the number of guards they need to maintain effective security. Power Plus DVS is always watching, always vigilant — always able to cover a vast area with fewer personnel. Which translates into substantial savings on wages and overhead. Because we’re Always On, 24/7/365, you never have to think about staffing multiple shifts again — from here on out, you’ll enjoy reduced costs and streamlined operations.

3. Enhanced Security Features

At Power Plus, we believe the best security incident is the one that never occurs, so we’re always looking out for potential threats. To proactively prevent criminals from criming, we rely on the most advanced technology and equipment:

  • Advanced Analytical Software: Our system is always analyzing and always detecting motion, human shapes, and unusual activities. This real-time identification capability helps us prevent potential incidents from becoming serious situations.
  • Advanced Analytical Software: Our system is always analyzing and always detecting motion, human shapes, and unusual activities. This real-time identification capability helps us prevent potential incidents from becoming serious situations.
  • Thermal/Night Vision Cameras: Even in the darkest conditions, our high-def thermal and night vision security cameras are always watching, always catching intruders and trespassers that others might miss lurking in the dark or hiding behind obstructions.
  • License Plate Readers: Whether vehicles are crawling along or zooming by at 70 mph, our license plate readers are always on the clock, capturing and identifying plates for better access control and identification by the authorities.
  • Real-Time Alerts: Nothing disrupts and defeats crime like speed. Which is why the Power Plus DVS system sends real-time alerts within 4 to 6 seconds, giving us the jump we need to deter criminals and contact the authorities.
  • Live “Talk Down” Speakers: Sometimes being seen isn’t enough. Our live “Talk Down” speakers are always ready to scare intruders off, providing an immediate, effective “live human” interaction and deterrent.
