Security is a fundamental concern for every community, but it’s essential to assess the cost-effectiveness of security measures as they continue to rise in expense. In this blog post, we’ll explore the case of an average community of 250 homes. This community spends well over $200,000 annually on 24/7 security guards while recording only 1 to 2 visitors during the night shift. 

The Cost-Effectiveness Conundrum

Let’s dissect these numbers further. With annual security expenses exceeding $200,000 and a mere 1 to 2 visitors on average during the night shift, it translates to a staggering $68 spent per visitor check-in by the guards during these hours. This financial revelation underscores the pressing need for a comprehensive reassessment of resource allocation.
