The Importance of
Residential Video Surveillance

A camera system serves as a modern neighborhood watch. Here's why homeowners opt for professional video security:

1. Deterring Package Theft

With rising package theft, visible security cameras or video doorbells deter thieves. If theft occurs, high-definition footage aids police in identifying suspects.

2. Enhancing Family Safety

Security isn't just about crime; it's about staying connected.

  • Latchkey Kids: Ensure children arrive home safely from school.
  • Elderly Parents: Monitor aging family members for safety and health.
  • Pet Monitoring: Check on pets to prevent damage to furniture.

3. Liability Protection

For homes with pools, trampolines, or unfenced yards, cameras provide essential liability protection in case of accidents or trespassing injuries.

Where is Residential Video Surveillance Beneficial

Strategic camera placement is crucial to avoid blind spots. We focus on key areas:

The Front Door & Porch

  • Two-way audio cameras facilitate interaction and identification by allowing communication with visitors or couriers, enhancing both security and convenience.

Driveways and Garages

  • Night Vision cameras protect vehicles and property by detecting unauthorized access, especially during nighttime hours, ensuring comprehensive security.

Backyards and Side Gates

  • Wide-angle lenses secure the perimeter and monitor entry points by providing comprehensive coverage of the yard, ensuring no area is left unmonitored.

Interior Common Areas

  • Discreet cameras monitor activities and ensure safety in living rooms or nurseries, offering peace of mind while respecting privacy. Note: We prioritize privacy and do not install cameras in private areas such as bathrooms or guest bedrooms.

Great service! Blackbird Security is monitoring 3 buildings for us. The guards are on time, they make their rounds in the agreed time and they are alert. When I come late at night, the guards check me out to see what I am doing there, even though they know me and my car. Very attentive. Always answer calls, email back within 24 hours and report daily. If you need security... hands down, go with Blackbird!!!

Blackbird patrols have cleaned up my parking lot. Without them we had drug users sleeping in the corners leaving a big mess. They patrol every hour and their prices are very good!

I highly recommend Blackbird for any security needs. They provide patrol services to a property I manage in Vancouver and they have been able to reduce trespassing on the property as well as increasing the security of the building. Their customer service is top notch.

Blackbird Security is an outstanding integrated security provider. They supply professional and reliable security guards for a couple Downtown properties of ours in Edmonton, Alberta. Their mobile guards are very responsive, fast acting, professional and thorough during their patrol checks. With combining their guard man-power and mobile fleet, we have peace of mind that our site is always safe and secure. With my two Downtown locations, I need to be able to trust that my security provider has not only our back, but our valued tenants as well. With that in mind I have no doubt that they will be able to provide you the same top notch service for any of your security needs.

How do I measure the effectiveness of security measures?
Measuring the effectiveness of security measures involves tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate how well systems and personnel are meeting safety and asset protection goals. Start by analyzing incident response times, reductions in theft, vandalism, or shrinkage, and overall resolution rates for reported issues. Comparing pre- and post-implementation data helps demonstrate tangible improvements in safety and loss prevention. Regular audits, surveys, and risk assessment reports can also gauge the reliability and perception of security measures.

Key KPIs to track include:
- Incident response times: Faster responses to alarms or emergencies.
- Reduction in theft/vandalism: Compare loss data before and after implementation.
- Patrol compliance: Track patrol frequency and adherence via GPS or logs.
- False alarm rates: Lower rates ensure focus on real threats.
- Client/Employee satisfaction: Gather feedback to measure confidence in security.
- Client services: Dedicated account representative who supports ongoing needs & can adjust strategy as needed
