The most effective way to harden any facility against crime are frequent, visible security patrols. This theory, which is used by both the military and law enforcement, forces potential criminals to seek out softer targets that pose less risk. Utilizing the latest in UAS technology, VidiGuard is able to amplify this deterrent effect by patrolling both more frequently and more reliably, resulting in better security coverage at a lower cost than traditional manned guarding.
People are good at making decisions, not staying alert for hours on end. In fact, most security guards have a measurable loss of attention in less than 60 minutes. With minimal training, low job satisfaction, and poor compensation, is it really a surprise that unarmed security guards are such a poor crime deterrent?
