Running a cannabis dispensary or cultivation facility in New York puts you at the center of an innovative and growing industry. It also means you have unique security needs—and Silent Guardian Security has your state-of-the-art solution. Proactive video monitoring (PVM) combines artificial intelligence with trained security specialists to neutralize threats to your business before they escalate.
Why Cannabis Growers and Dispensaries Need Proactive Video Monitoring
As a cash business with an inventory of desirable products, the cannabis industry is a tempting target for criminals. The risks extend beyond the loss of money and valuable goods — intruders attempting to force their way inside may also damage your property. A PVM system offers fast responses and safe intervention to deter burglars and other criminals.
PVM will also help you comply with New York State’s strict security requirements for cannabis businesses while staying ahead of the curve for future requirements to come. You’ll achieve perimeter security through clear and continuous video coverage of your property and other features to take the headache out of legal compliance so you can focus on your business.
The Benefits of Choosing Proactive Video Monitoring for Your Cannabis Business
PVM’s IP cameras transmit a live feed of your business and its surroundings. These cameras do more than record what they see — they feed the video to an artificial intelligence (AI) program trained to identify potential criminal activity. When the AI sees a problem, it notifies a security analyst — a trained professional who can verify the threat, use on-site speakers to tell the perpetrators they’ve been discovered as a deterrent while alerting law enforcement and waiting for them to respond.
With PVM, your cannabis business will enjoy benefits including:
- Around-the-clock monitoring of your property with immediate human intervention.
- The technology and expertise you need to stop crimes before they happen with real-time responses.
- Security specialists who act quickly to get the police to your business and notify anyone in your organization who should be contacted in an emergency.
State-of-the-Art Security Without Guards
PVM also gives you the same deterrence you get with security guards, with none of the drawbacks. You could save tens of thousands of dollars year over year using PVM instead of paying to have security guards on-site at all times. What’s more, PVM provides an extremely effective deterrent without the need for in-person confrontations.
The real-time involvement of security professionals, without the need for on-site guards, is a best-of-both-worlds solution for gate access control at your facility. With PVM, the system will notify an intervention specialist when any unwarranted action may occur. The specialist can then confirm the identity and grant them access or demand they leave the premise.
