Advice on Shopping center security system
I'm looking into security systems for a shopping center that I own. Currently we have a security guard patrolling on foot, but thinking about switching over to security cameras/live monitoring solution. Does anyone have experiences (good or bad) with any existing security solutions/companies on the market today? Also, if we get security cameras with live monitoring, do we still need a security guard on the premises, or can we rely on the security live monitoring to effectively triage if an issue needs to be escalated?

Nothing that typically happens at a shopping center is ever actually prosecuted. There are police reports but not much else. When you have someone there, it has some deterrent effect. Cameras don\u2019t, and cops are not interested in watching videos of transients shitting in the parking lot. They weren\u2019t that interested in an armed robbery as the amount stolen was too low. And my middle aged female Korean tenant hosed then down with a canister of bear spray. But that\u2019s another story.   Just keep the guard. \n\n", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "e94n6xk", "text": "A few cameras on the entrances and exits to see license plats do wonders.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
