How to Prevent Break-Ins with Remote Live Guard Technology

Case Study: How Overwatch Prevents Break-Ins

In a recent incident, our team at Overwatch Technologies successfully helped prevent a break-in at a multifamily residential property.

In the early morning hours, our AI tripwire was activated, triggering an alarm.

This activated our Overwatch monitoring team, who immediately reviewed the live surveillance feed.

They spotted two intruders attempting to break into the building.

The live guard used the 2-way talk system to let the intruders know they were on camera and police would be dispatched if they didn’t leave immediately.

That was enough for them to pack it up and leave the buildling.

Why is Proactive Video Monitoring Effective at Preventing Break-ins?

Live monitoring teams can act fast.
Live guards can alert local law enforcement or dispatch a trained security guard to the location.
Using the two-way audio feature built into Overwatch’s Live Guard Monitoring system, guards speak directly to the intruders.
Remote live guards warn intruders that the site is being watched and that police are on the way.
The intruders fled before they could gain entry.
Police arrived shortly after to secure the scene.

Why Property Owners Need to Act Now

One of the most effective tools to prevent a break-in is our two-way audio system.

By directly engaging intruders, our security personnel can:

Inform them they’re being watched.
Warn them that police are on the way.
Deter them from continuing their illegal activity.

This immediate verbal intervention often causes would-be burglars to flee, as it did in our case study.
