TOP 5 REASONS TO INSTALL SECURITY CAMERAS IN VACANT RENTAL UNITS

1. Deterrence of Criminal Activity

• Visible security cameras act as a powerful deterrent to potential intruders and vandals, and significantly reduce the likelihood of break-ins, property damage, and squatting attempts.

2. Remote Monitoring & Peace of Mind

• Landlords can keep an eye on their properties from anywhere, at any time. • Real-time alerts and live feeds provide instant notifications of any suspicious activity, allowing for quick response.

3. Enhanced Property Tours for Potential Tenants

• Cameras with two-way communication enable landlords to conduct virtual tours or assist during self-guided tours. • Property owners can greet visitors, answer questions, highlight features, and address concerns in real-time, even when not physically present.

4. Documentation for Insurance & Legal Purposes

• In case of incidents, camera footage serves as valuable evidence for insurance claims or legal proceedings. • Continuous recording can help protect landlords from false accusations or liability issues.

5. Monitoring of Maintenance & Service Providers

• Cameras allow landlords to oversee work done by contractors, ensuring quality and timeliness. • This oversight can prevent unauthorized access and protect against potential theft or damage during property maintenance.
