When it comes to commercial security, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Every business faces unique challenges when it comes to protecting its people, property, and assets. That’s why Guardian Protection’s Proactive Video Surveillance, our advanced remote video monitoring solution, can be fully customized to address the most pressing security concerns in your industry, helping you stay ahead of potential threats.
What is Proactive Video Surveillance?
Proactive Video Surveillance is a remote video monitoring solution that combines AI-powered video verification with real-time operator response. Utilizing advanced video analytics, your commercial cameras can immediately capture suspicious activity, for example, an unauthorized vehicle entering your lot after hours. Once detected, our Protection Specialists jump into action to deter intruders using live talk-down warnings from our 24/7 monitoring center. We then work in close coordination with local authorities to ensure rapid response and apprehension of intruders.

Industry Challenges That Proactive Video Surveillance Helps to Solve
1. Retail Stores
- The Unique Challenges: Retail businesses face theft, shoplifting, after-hours break-ins, and liability risks from customer and/or employee incidents.
- The Solution: Proactive Video Surveillance can monitor entrances, sales floors, stockrooms, and parking lots around the clock so that nothing happens you aren’t aware of. One of our operators can talk down trespassers when they are alerted to suspicious behavior, or a uniquely scripted recording can be created to be employed when someone has trespassed onto your business’s property after hours, for example. Especially when paired with a panic button that can trigger an immediate Proactive Video Surveillance response, help can get to these locations even faster. High-risk businesses like cannabis dispensaries or gun stores also benefit from added surveillance to comply with strict regulations.
2. Warehouses & Distribution Centers
- The Unique Challenges: Large, open spaces make it difficult to cover every area, leaving inventory and equipment vulnerable.
- The Solution: Proactive Video Surveillance allows you to have continuous coverage of all aspects of a warehouse or distribution center, and can be set up to monitor large spaces. Motion-based alerts help detect unauthorized access after hours, while push notifications can keep you in the loop. If questionable behavior is spotted, monitoring specialists can utilize Proactive Video Surveillance to identify the potential threat and dispatch authorities before a loss occurs.
3. Places of Worship
- The Unique Challenges: These locations are often unoccupied for long periods and can be the site of targeted attacks, making them particularly susceptible to vandalism, break-ins, or disruptive activity.
- The Solution: Proactive Video Surveillance ensures that state-of-the-art technology and trained specialists are looking out for the safety of congregants during gatherings and protecting property when the building is empty. It can secure entrances and parking lots to keep an eye on these locations before and after service and event times.
4. Manufacturing Facilities
- The Unique Challenges: Manufacturing sites often contain expensive equipment and sensitive operations. Safety risks can be especially high for employees and others nearby.
- The Solution: Proactive Video Surveillance can monitor production floors, warehouses, and outdoor yards to prevent theft and unauthorized entry to curb break-ins. Additionally, video monitoring can help enforce safety compliance by alerting supervisors when employees are in restricted areas or aren’t following required protocols. Camera footage taken through these triggered clips can also help differentiate the perpetrator through identifiable features (ex: black hoodie, heart tattoo, etc.) to make apprehension even easier.
5. Automotive Services & Dealerships
- The Unique Challenges: Lots are often filled with vehicles, tools, and/or parts that can be prime targets for theft and vandalism. Expensive inventory can put these locations at particular risk for burglaries.
- The Solution: Proactive Video Surveillance can be customized to monitor showrooms and expansive outdoor lots at all hours to ensure that all business property is protected, whether someone is there on location or not. Remote video monitoring will alert you to any suspicious movement and verbally attempt to deter the intruder. All the while, your security cameras are gathering video records that can provide crucial evidence for claims or disputes.
6. Educational Institutions
- The Unique Challenges: Schools and campuses need to maintain a safe learning environment while monitoring for trespassers, vandalism, and/or emergencies.
- The Solution: Educational institutions can be prime targets for acts of violence, and Proactive Video Surveillance is the perfect tool to use when hoping to catch and stop potentially dangerous situations before they happen. Specifically, when paired with a triggered panic button, Proactive Video Surveillance can make all the difference in an emergency. Proactive Video Surveillance can be integrated to cover entrances, hallways, and playgrounds in particular. Remote monitoring provides real-time oversight and immediate intervention, helping staff and emergency services to respond faster to incidents and helping to ensure the safety of all on campus.
7. Healthcare Facilities
- The Unique Challenges: Hospitals and clinics must protect sensitive areas, expensive medical equipment, and ensure patient privacy and safety.
- The Solution: Proactive Video Surveillance can monitor entry points, parking lots, restricted areas (like pharmacies or supply rooms), and waiting rooms. Security specialists in our monitoring center can quickly detect suspicious activity or unauthorized access, providing an added layer of safety for patients, visitors, and staff. This is especially useful when protecting medications from theft and ensuring that patients are being monitored with dignity.
