As the festive season approaches, many businesses look forward to well-deserved New Year’s closures and extended winter breaks. While employees recharge, properties often stand vacant for days, sometimes weeks. For many, the primary security concern during these times is basic vandalism or petty theft. However, for properties housing high-value assets – be it heavy machinery […]
As 2025 draws to a close, businesses across all sectors are meticulously reviewing their operational expenditures and strategically planning for 2026. A critical area often scrutinized is security – a non-negotiable aspect of protecting assets, personnel, and reputation. For years, the debate between traditional manned guarding and advanced remote guarding has been ongoing. However, with […]
The holiday season is a time for relaxation, joy, and family gatherings. Yet, for businesses, it often becomes a period of elevated risk. Extended closures, empty offices and warehouses, and reduced vigilance make commercial properties easy targets for thieves and vandals. Crucially: Do not rely solely on basic security measures. Your holiday security strategy must […]
For many business owners, the most significant losses don’t come from external threats, but from within. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimates that employee theft costs businesses billions of dollars annually. Therefore, finding a reliable way to prevent internal theft is not just a security issue; it’s a critical business priority. However, many businesses still […]
For property managers and residents, security remains a top concern. Creating a safe and welcoming environment directly impacts occupancy rates, resident satisfaction, and property value.

As a property or operations manager, you scrutinize every line item in your budget. Security, in particular, is often viewed as a “cost center”—a necessary expense with no clear financial return. You pay for guards and alarm systems, hoping they prevent incidents, but proving their value in dollars and cents is a constant challenge. However, […]
It’s 3 AM. The phone rings. It’s your alarm company, reporting motion detected at your property. You rush to the site, or send a team member, only to find the culprit: a raccoon, or perhaps a plastic bag blowing in the wind. This isn’t just frustrating; it’s a failure of technology. Traditional security systems operate […]
Many business owners believe their monthly bill is the only price they pay for protection. However, the true hidden costs of security go far beyond that fee, especially when you rely on passive systems like traditional CCTV and basic alarms. These “good enough” solutions create a false sense of safety while quietly draining your resources. […]
Nighttime is when most security systems are tested — and too often, they fail. When your business closes for the day, the risks don’t. In fact, the majority of break-ins, theft, and vandalism happen after dark. Traditional cameras may record these events. But by then, it’s already too late. With OHZ Remote Guarding, you don’t […]
