Proven Results

Cameras give you a record. Response gives you a result.

Plenty of companies will sell you cameras. A camera tells you what happened after it already happened. It does not stop anybody. What stops somebody is boots on the ground to respond.

It is not technology or boots on the ground. It takes both. One is only as good as the other.

No Agent can be everywhere at once. A property can run most of a city block. The technology tells you where to be. The Agent is what makes somebody leave. Here is what that looks like.

A thoroughbred farm, under construction

September 2015 · broodmare barn gate

This was hundreds of acres. We covered it at night with two armed Agents on staggered shifts. One came on at dusk. The second came in later and stayed through to dawn.

Some nights they sat on opposite ends of the property. Some nights together in the middle. They took turns patrolling. You mix it up on purpose. Anybody watching a property will learn your pattern if you give them one, and the pattern is what they hit.

A camera at the barn gate tripped at 1:44 in the morning. We saw a man entering the property. Our Agent — our boots on the ground — was notified. He was up at another barn. He responded almost immediately.

Three minutes and forty-six seconds later the camera tripped again. He was leaving.

We did not intercept him. We did not catch him. He was never identified, and to this day we still have no idea who he was.

We stopped him. He was prevented from gaining access to anything on that property, and from committing any criminal act on it. He heard the Agent coming and he left.

The biggest part of the job is prevention, not catching. The farm found out about it in a report the next morning instead of in an insurance claim.

A closed business, after hours

Last December, over the school break

Ten subjects entered a business that was closed for the night, on a property we cover. Our cameras caught it as it was happening. We were en route within minutes and stayed on the phone with police while moving, so they knew what they were walking into and where.

All ten were detained on scene and trespassed from the property. Nothing was taken.

That one is ten years newer than the farm, and the difference between them is the point. In 2015 it was a trail camera and a phone call. Today it is a dispatch system that logs every call, every response, and every trespass notice, individually, as it happens.

We document everything

Most people have been on the wrong end of he said, she said at some point. It is common enough that it is hardly worth telling the story. What it teaches you is simple, and we built a company around it. It isn't what you know. It's what you can prove.

So we prove it. Every call, every vehicle, every notice. Not to build a case after the fact, though we will have one if it comes to that.

We document everything we can, and not only to protect ourselves. It protects our clients. It protects the public. It protects whoever is on the other end of it, including the person a record ends up clearing. We want to protect everyone we can, and the truth is always the best way to do that.

Three is two. Two is one. And one is none.
