Apartment Security
Apartments are common places for crimes because there may be poorly lit areas with little or no lighting, many cars parked in one location, many apartments with easy access and a diverse population in close proximity with innumerable opportunities for altercations. Add to this office staff who interact with strangers daily, and maintenance staff who enter other people’s homes on a daily basis. There may also be personal items like bicycles, furniture and grills on patios and balconies. Protect each of these areas of your property with apartment security cameras.
Apartments may also have pools, recreation areas, playgrounds, walking trails, fitness centers, and public office space.
Not only are burglaries an issue at apartments, but other personal crimes take place at apartments. These include assault, sexual assault, rape, child kidnapping and molesting.
The best and most effective way to prevent crime and secure your apartments is to install security cameras to deter crimes and protect your residents. Apartments should protect each of the areas of their property with security cameras.
Apartment Security Cameras
Multiple Locations At Your Apartments
There are many locations at apartments where crimes could potentially take place. These areas need protection. Securing large apartment properties may require many security cameras. Some apartments prefer to protect all areas during the initial installation. Other apartments select one primary area at a time and add cameras in phases.
The important thing is to take action and start a plan to secure your apartment property one step at a time.
Entries and Exits
Entry and exit doors are the main place where people flow in and out of apartment offices. All entrances should have security cameras to protect them. Not only do security cameras protect your residents, but security cameras can record any illegal activity coming into a building.
Offices And Public Buildings
Considering the amount of residents and visitors flowing through office space, the main locations to secure are these buildings.
Fitness Rooms
Fitness rooms are a popular addition to newer apartment properties. Many apartment fitness centers are isolated with little to no window view-ability. Couple this with late night access and this becomes an easy target location for personal crimes.
Swimming Pools
Swimming pools are popular locations for summertime activities. This can also be a location where altercations and accidents occur. Accidents could result in unwanted legal action.
Playgrounds and Recreation Areas
Any location prone to children should be secured. This not only protects the children, but also provides video evidence of any injuries that might take place.
Wireless or Wired Cameras
There are 2 ways to connect security cameras. The two ways to connect security cameras are wired cameras and wireless cameras. Wired security cameras are more cost effective and better for most apartment installations.
Wireless Cameras
Wireless cameras transmit video wirelessly over your WiFi network. For locations where it may not be reasonable to run cables, wireless cameras may be good a good choice. These locations include distant playgrounds, dog walks, and recreational areas.
Wired Cameras
Wired security cameras usually cost much less to purchase. These cameras send video through CAT5 or CAT6 cables. Most camera installations at the main apartment buildings use wired cameras.
