When considering security for your business or property, remote guarding services should be a key consideration. This article will explore the core aspects of remote guarding and help you determine if it’s the right fit for your business.

What is Remote Guarding?

Remote guarding services combine video surveillance with live, off-site human guards who monitor your property in real-time. This blend of technology and human intelligence creates a more effective security solution than using either artificial intelligence or human guards alone. While AI excels in precision, humans bring situational adaptability and decision-making skills that machines lack.

At OHZ Remote Guarding, we integrate AI to assist our guards, ensuring they can respond immediately and effectively to any potential threat.

Although crime rates have fallen in some areas, vacant business properties and parking lots are becoming prime targets for theft and vandalism. OHZ Remote Guarding has observed that crime isn’t staying at home, and businesses should remain vigilant.
