Remote Guarding 101 (SDM Magazine Interview with Aria Kozak)

Posted on | by support@topbros.com | Leave a Comment on Remote Guarding 101 (SDM Magazine Interview with Aria Kozak)

A growing number of video service dealers, integrator and central stations are looking to move into video guard services, which are designed to deliver the benefits of an on-site guard without requiring customers to incur the expense of an on-site employee. To provide a better understanding of just what video guarding is and how dealers can use it to grow RMR, SDM spoke with Aria Kozak, CEO of Elite Interactive Solutions (www.EliteISI.com), based in Los Angeles, a provider of digital guarding services.

 
SDM: What, exactly, is remote guarding and what are the key components that determine whether a service is remote guarding or something else?
Kozak: Remote guarding is a security service, combining site-based CCTV video cameras, video analytics software with Internet connectivity, and monitoring center-based security agents using sophisticated command, control and video/audio management systems. Potential threats are spotted by video analytic-armed cameras and automatically analyzed based on predefined criteria. When necessary, a security agent located in a remote center is alerted to assess the threat and take appropriate and immediate action to prevent or minimize damage or loss from occurring. Remote guarding is considered by some as the next innovation in security man-guarding, which has many inherent problems that limit effectiveness and keep costs high. Many of these limitations are solved with remote guarding, by better leveraging technology and utilizing a higher/different skill set of people.
Many companies claim to do remote guarding but very few actually do. Video verification, as an example, is merely an enhancement to the traditional alarm system by adding review of an image to verify trouble prior to calling law enforcement. Whereas, remote guarding replaces traditional guards or provides a force multiplication factor to the security guard industry by having highly-trained agents actually engaging intruders in real time.
Remote guarding requires a deep interconnection between the client site deployment and the central station command and control operations. Simply turning your camera system over to a traditional burglar alarm central station that has video capabilities does not work.
 
SDM: How can integrators who are looking to grow their recurring monthly revenue present remote guarding services to potential, new and/or existing customers?
Kozak: Integrators are learning about RMR, which is what enables companies to become cash cows throwing off consistent, predictable high margin revenue month-over-month while feeding their business with the capital that it needs to continue to grow and/or maximize their company’s exit valuation.
The best way for an integrator to grow their recurring monthly revenue is to find a strategic partner that is an expert in remote guarding and tap into that partner’s sales tools, marketing collateral, and most importantly intellectual capital on how to best design and deploy a system that can be most effectively monitored by a remote guard command center.
By adding remote guarding to their portfolio of services, they can tap into an incredible monthly recurring revenue stream with many future CCTV installations, particularly for clients with human guards that can be replaced or augmented. By approaching clients with an opportunity to turn a reactive camera system into a proactive security solution that prevents crime, many clients will welcome the knowledge that helps them both better secure their facility while saving costs on man-guarding labor.
We would recommend working with the right remote guarding service provider to:

  • design CCTV systems that work seamlessly with remote guard monitoring command centers;
  • provide information to the customer that monitored cameras will not only enhance security but actually lower security guard costs by deploying remote guarding;
  • go back to old customers and use remote guarding as a means to engage clients in upgrading security systems to support services that are preventative (not just reactionary); and
  • Help sell the remote guarding service on top of installation.

 
SDM: What should integrators look for in a partner who provides remote guarding services? How should they evaluate various providers and offerings?
Kozak: By partnering with an operations center that is an expert in remote guarding, integrators will tap into a strategic partnership that helps maximize RMR goals. Unlike alarm systems and video verification providers, remote guarding replaces (or enhances) security guards at high target (high risk) areas. This translates into significant recurring monthly fees, many times the alarm and video verification rates that still represent only a fraction of the cost of a security guard. The RMR accrues to integrators, while clients benefit from dramatic cost savings and significant increases in the effectiveness of their security.
Successful remote guarding providers must understand the significant interconnectivity between forensic analysis, design, engineering, systems selection, installation, and monitoring to effectively protect a location from tens or thousands of miles away. This interconnectivity and reliance on each element of the solution is key to remote agent’s ability to assess and engage all intruders in real time.
We recommend expanding their business into remote guarding with one of the leading providers, particularly if they work with companies that traditionally use guards and are looking to build RMR. At the same time, anyone claiming to provide remote guarding without utilizing this fully integrated approach cannot provide effective remote guarding and will fail to help generate substantial RMR.
We would recommend, looking for companies that meet the following criteria:

  • They own and operate a remote guarding command center (make sure to visit it), staffed with highly trained agents, who are using full command and control software.
  • They have a proven methodology they can share with you on how to design a security system that is most effective for protecting the property and providing remote guarding capability.
  • The level of discovery that the company exercises to test for the many types of variables, including performance in nighttime and outdoor conditions, will indicate the level of understanding they apply to creating effective remote guarding solutions.
  • Effective remote guarding requires a significant level of education to understand how to implement and operate it. Make sure you pick a partner that will support you and provide you with all the resources you need to educate your customer.
  • Talk to their customers. Any level of churn at this time is most likely indicative of a problem.

 
SDM: What else is important for integrators to know about remote guarding?
Kozak: If their customers use traditional guards today, then by introducing them to remote guarding, integrators can help them to dramatically impact both their security effectiveness and lower their security costs.
We strongly recommend they engage a remote guarding company that can walk you directly into the business of recurring monthly revenue. By engaging early, with a partner that knows how to help build their remote guarding business, they will have the opportunity to make only small changes to their video installation business that enables them to grab huge portions of the security market as it transitions from guards to remote guarding.

Elite ISI Introduces Remote Guarding to CargoNet Members

Posted on | by support@topbros.com | Leave a Comment on Elite ISI Introduces Remote Guarding to CargoNet Members

On February 24, 2016 CargoNet’s 277 Charter Members were presented with new ways to protect their properties and assets. CargoNet, a division of Verisk Analytics is a national information sharing system to combat cargo theft. Their system enables more efficient, accurate, and timely sharing of theft information among victims, insurers and law enforcement. Industries that require outdoor exposure of major assets face serious physical security obstacles. Some of these include auto dealers, logistics companies, equipment and auto rental companies, freight and cargo companies. Estimated losses just in the cargo industry are over $50 billion a year.

The growing sophistication of criminals has driven outdoor asset theft into the billions. Through its national database of information sharing, CargoNet helps its members quickly report and often retrieve stolen assets including thefts by organized gangs. In 2014, CargoNet members reported nearly $90 million in stolen cargo with an average loss of $181,681 per incident. This was up over 25% from 2013. But many industry analysts suggest that this is really the tip of the iceberg. Unreported losses, they suggest, are likely many, many times these figures.

Vulnerable assets include:

  • Freight
  • Equipment
  • Rolling Stock
  • Construction
  • Property
  • Data

The main vulnerability of these assets is their mobility. Whether it’s trucking, equipment rental, logistics and warehouses, or loading areas, traditional security and alarm systems of property inside secure structures are not sufficient. The primary protection of outdoor assets has been fencing. And while many sophisticated advances have been made in hardening this barrier they are no match for organized sophisticated criminals.

Layered protection for perimeter security has been standard in the industry for many years but with the addition of remote guarding security perimeter security can be multiplied ten times. Elite Interactive Solutions is the industry leader in remote guardingsolutions. With hundreds of commercial accounts throughout the nation, Elite’s military grade command center is situated in one of the most secure underground bunkers in the world. Hiring and training ex-military or police, their remote agents are armed with 21st century technologies and processes that enable them to virtually guard hundreds of properties in real-time. Elite’s commercial client sites are virtually crime-free.

Elite is no stranger to protecting mobile assets. Starboard Cruise Services 180,000 square foot logistics center in Florida is now fully protected 24/7 by Elite’s comprehensive surveillance, remote monitoring and deterrence services. Elite’s unique security formula expands the limitations of traditional security systems by arming and protecting remotely located agentsusing advanced technological, procedural and crime fighting capabilities. Elite’s remote guarding generates unprecedented results, reduces costs, and keeps first responders from harm’s way.

The process begins with criminal forensic specialists who identify and rate assets, evaluate access potential, and assess historical and anticipated criminal behavior. A custom solution is then engineered to address the analysis findings and develop an interactive map for each client facility. The map supports a custom, military grade video monitoring system. The event-driven system automates the identification and reporting of security breaches, live and in real time. Live agents operate remotely from Elite’s Security Operations Command Center. From this vantage point, they have full command and control over all perimeter and interior breaches and other security events.

Specialized equipment and software automate the analysis of the live video, zooming in from hundreds of yards away and weeding out all non-threat breaches. Real suspect threats are engaged by the agent personally, who tracks and records the activity, and voices-down warnings to the suspect. This approach generates a dramatic 97% success rate in diffusing a possible crime by getting identified potential perpetrators to leave client premises immediately. If the suspect persists, the agent engages police. Law enforcement consider Elite agents as live eye-witness’s to a crime in progress, generating the highest level of response.

The agent remains in direct communication with first responders en-route and throughout the event, alerting them to the suspects’ descriptions, locations, movements, and whether any weapons have been seen. Because Elite stops all false alarms to police, helps protect their lives and assists in rapid interdiction, police are often on-scene within 2 or 3 minutes.

“We are witnessing the emergence of a disruptive innovation,” says Aria Kozak, President and CEO of Elite Interaction Solutions. “Our remote guarding solutions provide eyes on the property everywhere, all the time. Our digital guards never sleep, take breaks, or make deals with criminals. They zoom in on every detail, and intervene with authority.”

Elite ISI is the industry leader in Remote Guarding, a fully interactive, remotely operated virtual guard and digital guarding service. With hundreds of customers throughout the US, Elite provides the highest level of real estate, property, and personal safety security. Commercial accounts range from office buildings, warehouses, logistics, auto dealerships, apartment complexes, and many other industries. Contact Elite ISI at info@eliteinteractivesolutions.com.

Remote Guarding Significantly Improves School Safety

Posted on | by support@topbros.com | Leave a Comment on Remote Guarding Significantly Improves School Safety

Los Angeles, CA | February 8, 2016 – Remote Guarding security is dramatically increasing school security . For schools, this means big savings by preventing after-hours theft, vandalism and loitering. This new and growing technology also provides schools with advanced protections in “active shooter” scenarios,  including 24/7 monitoring and strong alliances with police and other first responders. “Schools today face difficult security issues,” points out Aria Kozak, CEO of Elite Interactive Solutions. “The constant movement of students across a large campus, relatively easy public access, and extended after-school vacancy makes schools vulnerable to a wide variety of threats. We view physical security from the standpoint of crime and loss prevention, including real-time, live support during major security events. These advantages make us the obvious security choice for today’s schools.”

A Campus Made Safer

Village Christian School in Los Angeles was looking  to try a security solution that could more effectively address their campus security and safety problems . Elite analyzed the campus and put together a customized and thorough remote guarding security solution for the 110-acre school with over 1,100 students and staff. Using some of the most advanced monitoring and communications equipment, Remote Guarding security agents assessed campus threats, warned off intruders, and provided live tactical support to law enforcement first responders, and by-standers. “Prior to Elite, we had trespassers, vandalism, theft & unusual activity. After Elite, those issues have dropped to zero. Word has gotten out that the campus is monitored.” Said Mike Custer, Director of Facilities for Village Christian Schools. Crime dramatically dropped on campus and improved safety within the local community, creating a safe haven and a place for students to thrive.

Multi-Layered Protection Against Rising Campus Crime

Remote Guarding offers schools around the clock, multi-layered levels of threat protection and faster police response times. While theft and vandalism are important issues, recent shootings and threats have heightened public awareness of the need for increased security and protection of our nation’s most cherished resource – our youth. Schools are losing teaching time. Police are wasting precious resources. Students, teachers and parents are on edge. “School threats are a fast growing problem,” says Ken Trump, President of National School Safety and Security Services. “They send fear and panic through a community.”

Connecting Campuses with Law Enforcement

In Active Shooter situations, one of the key issues for Law Enforcement Professionals is the length of time taken by law enforcement to arrive on scene and locate the suspect(s). The frequency of false threats and alarms typically slows police response time. Thankfully, Remote Guarding command center agents eliminate false alarms to police. Additionally, since this technology provides full situational awareness within seconds of notification from the school, police consider a Remote Guarding security agent as a live eye-witness to a crime in progress.

By locking on and tracking intruders in real time remote agents also function as team members to security and police en-route or on-site, providing ongoing feedback on intruder location, description and activities. In addition, Remote Agents keep police appraised of the whereabouts of students and staff. Any door and gate access control system can also be used to assist in protecting at-risk lives. Real-time remotely executed actvities include opening, closing, locking, unlocking doors, gates and windows, as well as communication to staff, students and even the suspect (if appropriate). This speeds awareness, helps save lives, accelerates apprehension, and ensures collection and preservation of evidence.

Law Enforcement Embrace 2015 Remote Guarding Summit

Posted on | by support@topbros.com | Leave a Comment on Law Enforcement Embrace 2015 Remote Guarding Summit

Over 60 members of law enforcement executives, ranging from police chiefs to sergeants attended the nation’s first Remote Guarding Summit held in Los Angeles, December 3, 2015. Hosted by Elite ISI (www.eliteisi.com), the Summit was also supported by FBI-LEEDA (www.fbileeda.org), the nation’s leading law enforcement executive training organization. The Summit was designed to train law enforcement executives to better understand and work more closely with private industry remote guarding companies to improve service to their communities. The myriad benefits of this joint-effort include:

  • Elimination of false burglar alarms (?π to 99% of alarms are false)
  • Reduction of law enforcement calls for service, particularly for nuisance alerts, by deterring criminal activity before it happens
  • Enhancement of officer safety by providing real time situational updates to responding 
units for crimes in progress
  • Prompt delivery of high-grade audio/video coverage and available documentation to assist in prosecution

Every alert that comes into a remote guarding command center is overseen by highly trained remote agents who stop all false alarms. It is well known that up to 99% of all burglar alarms to law enforcement are false alarms (see Report Signals End to Nation’s False Alarm Fiasco, Government Security News, December 17, 2015) this benefit alone could save departments countless man hours and related costs. But remote guarding offers far more significant benefits to law enforcement.

Remote guarding is a very sophisticated commercial security process that integrates systems, software and security agents to deliver 10 times the security of traditional security systems at roughly half the cost. Based on a forensic property analysis, advanced video monitoring systems that are armed with military grade human detection software are strategically installed on the client’s site so remote guards can effectively protect the property.

With Remote Guarding, remote agents are notified and profile suspects and their actions , Using the client site based monitoring systems,. The highly trained agents determine whether to speak directly to the suspect via voice-down capability of the systems, which causes intruders to leave the premises 97% of the time, and to only dispatch law enforcement when necessary . Law enforcement consider remote agents calls to be trained, live eye-witnesses to crimes in progress, warranting priority police response.

The remote agent remains in contact with law enforcement throughout the event. They give them live suspect descriptions, positions and warn of possible firearms. The agent acts as a law enforcement liaison, not only enhancing officer safety but increasing the likelihood of an arrest. Arrest rates for police calls increase from less than 1% with burglar alarms to as high as 40% with remote guarding.

Jamboree Housing Corporation presented a case study to the Summit’s attendees highlighting the real-world benefits of remote guarding. Jamboree is the premier non-profit real estate developer of affordable housing (with enhanced resident services) in California. Elite Interactive Solutions provides remote guarding for Jamboree.

The case study focused on various incidents on one of Jamboree’s multi-family properties in Garden Grove, CA. Over the 3-year study police were saved over 1,880 times from receiving false alarm calls. The study also found the prevention of over 200 crimes by Elite’s agents’ through voice-downs, which chased off criminals. Of the amazingly reduced 20 calls to law enforcement for dispatch, there was a 40% arrest rate with 8 arrests.

“This illustrates the powerful coalition of law enforcement and private industry,” explained Keith Bushey. “Law enforcement receives many benefits that help prevent crime and save on precious resources when property owners engage in Remote Guarding solutions.”

New “Elite ISI” Remote Guarding Solution Apprehends Local Car Thieves

Posted on | by support@topbros.com

Sept 30, 2014, Los Angeles, CA – With the help of the latest innovative remote monitoring services provided by Elite ISI, one local car dealer in the San Francisco area thwarted thieves similar to the gang that recently got away with a massive auto theft, when twenty-two cars were stolen from other less protected Mercedes Benz dealerships in the region.

The recent rash of auto thefts by organized gangs in the San Francisco Area highlight the pitfalls of traditional security and alarm solutions. Auto dealerships, with millions of dollars of inventory sitting in the open and as close to potential customers as possible, face some of the greatest monitoring and security challenges of all commercial property owners.

Though the thieves at Elite’s client used the same methods that were successful at other dealerships, Elite’s Remote Guarding solution deterred the attempted theft to their Mercedes Benz customer. In fact, Elite’s remote agents actions directly resulted in an arrest that is providing authorities with assistance in identifying and hunting down the suspects involved in other successful car thefts in the area. Elite ISI’s Remote Guarding solution has thus proven to be a reliable, proactive form of crime prevention for any facility.

 

About Elite ISI

Elite’s interactive monitoring and security approach creates an “undercover digital guard” perimeter around the protected location. Rather than relying on ineffective human guards who would attempt to patrol an entire property, Elite uses the results from a forensic analysis to place 10 to 30 digital guards in strategic locations. Highly trained agents at Elite’s remote Command Center use the digital guarding system to identify intruders immediately upon their entry onto a client property, and to then speak to the trespassers, ordering them to leave the premises. More importantly, local police are mobilized if the need arises, where Law Enforcement agencies see the powerful benefit of calls from Elite’s highly trained, first responder eyewitnesses to a crime in progress that actively assist the responding police officers with live, real time audio/video support to safely apprehend the suspects.
