According to Forbes, Detroit was named “the most violent crime-prone area in the United States in 2010, with 1,111 crimes reported per 100,000 residents.” A current Detroit resident’s chances of becoming a victim of a property crime are 1 in 17 according to Neighborhood Scout, which also places both Detroit and Pontiac in the top 15 most dangerous cities in the United States.
Because of stats like these, providing security and protection for the residents and staff of a multi-tenant apartment building or complex in southeastern Michigan has become an increasingly difficult responsibility.
Regardless of difficulty, multi-tenant apartment owners and staff have had to find new and increasingly creative ways to monitor and protect their premises, and encourage a sense of confidence and security in current and potential residents. State-of-the-art wireless multi-tenant intercom and multi-residential video entry and surveillance systems are a few examples of technologies that have helped owners do just that.
Through the use of multi-tenant wireless intercom and video surveillance systems, owners and staff can:
- Monitor the on-premise coming and going of residents and guests
- Discourage crime such as vandalism and burglary
- Allow residents/staff to safely interact and communicate with visitors and identify possible intruders or threats
Equipping a multi-tenant apartment building or complex with wireless intercom, security and/or video systems can be accomplished by contacting a local metro-Detroit intercom, security and/or video specialist. Services are also available to update and revamp old apartment building intercoms and surveillance systems with new wireless intercom and video technology.
