Elite Interactive Solutions announced the launch of a new educational webinar series. Featuring subject matter experts and thought leaders, Elite said the sessions are designed to inform security practitioners about the latest developments in security technologies and methodologies, crime and loss prevention, vertical market challenges, law enforcement, and more.

The free series kicks off Tuesday, Dec. 10 with, “How Remote Guarding Crushes Crime.” In addition to preventing crime, the hourlong presentation will cover how the solution profoundly impacts losses, liability and false alarms.

More and more businesses and other organizations are discovering the extensive benefits of remote video guarding systems, the announcement states. Unlike traditional security systems and monitoring center methods, Elite said this solution prevents crime in real-time.

By combining proven system design practices, strategically placed surveillance cameras, specially tuned analytics and AI, high-end cybersecurity, skilled command center agents experienced in diffusing threats, and a trusted relationship with law enforcement, remote video guarding is dramatically transforming security across multiple industries, the announcement continues.

The session’s panel of crime prevention experts will reportedly help attendees evaluate how this solution can help them better protect their facilities — including augmenting or replacing security guards.

Participating in the panel-style webinar will be Elite Vice President of Client Success & Security Solutions Scott Blakeman, former law enforcement executive Justin Feffer, an attorney specializing in cybersecurity who sits on Elite’s Law Enforcement Advisory Board, and Trophy Automotive Dealer Group Director of Facilities Myrna Dekker. All are experienced authorities for the topic at hand.

“As with a lot of new technologies and offerings that emerge on the security industry’s radar, there are many misperceptions, misrepresentations, false assumptions and even fear of the unknown surrounding remote video monitoring — particularly as it pertains to remote guarding and crime prevention,” said Blakeman. “With keen insights from an experienced provider rep, law enforcement official and end user, our intent is to plainly define the solution and its power to truly revolutionize security and safety.”

According to the announcement, those in attendance will have their eyes and minds opened to how advances in AI, video analytics, cybersecurity and other leading-edge technologies are being calibrated, integrated and deployed to deliver real-world results that proactively stop rather than merely react to crime. Elite said attendees will also come to understand the key characteristics that encompass a true remote guarding solution, as opposed to more general video surveillance or alarm monitoring.

By its conclusion, attendees will walk away knowing how a technology-centric solution like remote guarding can make their organization’s security program more effective and efficient, and with a high return on investment (ROI), the announcement concluded.
