Elite Interactive Solutions has made its latest webinar, "Driving Directions to Your Secure Auto Destination," available for on-demand viewing. The session features a panel of crime prevention, technology and multifamily housing experts discussing how to evaluate property security, including the use of remote video monitoring as an alternative or supplement to security guards.
Webinar Overview
The webinar, originally broadcast July 15, is the third in the free Elite Education Webinar Series. The series provides security practitioners with information on emerging security technologies, crime and loss prevention strategies, industry-specific challenges, and law enforcement collaboration.
The one-hour session examines how remote guarding can help prevent crime and reduce losses, liability and false alarms. Panelists include Elite National Sales Director Jon Kromroy; former law enforcement executive and attorney Justin Feffer, a member of Elite’s Law Enforcement Advisory Board; and Matt Ryan, director of operations for The Niello Co.
Remote Guarding Capabilities
Remote video guarding differs from traditional surveillance by actively deterring crime in real time. The approach combines:
Strategic system design and camera placement
Artificial intelligence-powered video analytics
Cybersecurity protections
Trained command center agents skilled in threat de-escalation
Coordination with law enforcement
The panel discusses how the components work together to proactively prevent incidents rather than respond after they occur. Viewers also learn the key differences between full remote guarding solutions and general surveillance or alarm monitoring systems.
Industry Relevance
According to the panelists, more businesses are recognizing the benefits of remote guarding in industries such as automotive sales and storage. The session outlines how dealerships and other facilities can use the tools to better protect assets and reduce reliance on on-site guards.
The webinar is available on Elite Interactive Solutions’ website as part of its ongoing educational series.
