Virtual Guard Combats the Billion Dollar Annual Theft of Construction Equipment
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 01, 2016 -- The National Crime Information Bureau reports that as much as $1 billion annually is lost nationwide as a result of theft of construction equipment from building sites, and less than 20 percent of these stolen goods are ever recovered. Virtual Guard, the next generation of construction site security, is now offering developers and contractors a comprehensive security package that is both more effective than on-site guards and less expensive.
Virtual Guard is demonstrating how it can successfully reduce the loss reported by the National Crime Information Bureau. Los Angeles developer Steve Erdman, CEO of Canfield Development, says. “I have completely replaced the need for security guards at our construction sites. With Virtual Guard, our construction projects have achieved a zero loss status, which given current economic conditions, is quite an accomplishment.”
“Virtual Guard provides construction clients with a new national security-grade active monitoring, detection, and stopping power to prevent loss, crime, and intrusion. The Virtual Guard security solutions has helped many of our construction clients eliminate or significantly reduce theft from their construction sites, and can do so more effectively and less expensively than security guards,” says Virtual Guard CEO Steven Sarfati.
The National Crime Information Bureau (NCIB) reports, “newer pieces of equipment are likely to be stolen…and thefts spike during peak construction months.” In Chicago, police recently arrested a man who operated a fencing operation specializing in power tool and construction equipment,” according to police and reported in the Chicago Tribune, they found “$1 million in stolen goods at the neighborhood man’s house.”
The National Insurance Crime Bureau reports that 37% of all crime thefts occur in four states: Texas, North Carolina, Florida, and California. “Virtual Guard operates throughout the US and Canada and can reduce theft and is distinct and superior to on-site guard services or other forms of remote video monitoring. The premise of all other forms of monitoring requires constant site-wide awareness of activity once a protected area, or perimeter, has been breached. This requires high cost guards being constantly vigilant, or monitoring once an intruder is already inside the site,” says Mr. Sarfati.
“The Virtual Guard system monitors a site perimeter prior to the breach, eliminates false positives through superior resolution and thermal imaging, real time loud speaker communication with the potential intruder, real time system alarm and site illumination, and, if needed, a response alert based on a positive proof observation and exact location of the intruder,” according to Mr. Sarfati.
Virtual Guard has its Interactive Command and Control Center in Los Angeles, and designs for clients’ security solutions based on national systems used by the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and verified by leading national testing laboratories. “The technology we use has been tested rigorously in all seasons and all visual conditions in order to ensure that it is active at all times. It has been field-tested under circumstances far exceeding the demands of civilian commercial, residential or construction sites. Additionally, we can provide a complete stand-alone system fully capable of providing service without wired electrical or phone connections,” says Mr. Sarfati.
The Virtual Guard security solutions incorporates sensitive thermal video equipment, strobe lights, audio interdiction from the Command Center, professional security personnel, and an active alert system that only activates when an intruder approaches the perimeter of the protected site.
According to Mr. Sarfati, “Virtual Guard eliminates the need of hiring expensive security guard companies and is not vulnerable to guard job fatigue or coffee breaks. The system is always on guard, and watching at all times. Virtual Guard security company provides a significant cost saving over hiring guards from patrol security guard services, and can be more effective than any other security system in protecting large perimeter sites and detecting intrusions and loss before they happen.”
Virtual Guard solutions are currently being used by auto dealerships, hospitals, museums, scrap yards, construction sites, government facilities, warehouse protection, estate protection, commercial buildings, and industrial or manufacturing sites.
