MESA, AZ--(Marketwire - June 8, 2010) - HELIX Asset Management and Iveda Solutions (
"This kind of business partnership and cooperation is good for the community in general. Improving safety and security requires a united effort and I'm very excited to see our technology and services being leveraged in this way," says David Ly, President and CEO of Iveda Solutions.
When businesses close for the day, Iveda Solutions takes over the cameras. The company's intervention specialists watch the properties in real-time. Any suspicious activities are reported to the police as events unfold for immediate response. The next day, HELIX and the tenants get a daily surveillance report (DSR), consisting of time-stamped screen captures of what transpired the previous night. If they want to review certain footage, they simply go online to do so.
"This is by far the best security system I've used for both of my stores; not only does it provide security, it also allows me to supervise my employees remotely," says Luis Brito, owner of Mundo Cellular, a store at one of the properties managed by HELIX.
Poor economic times are shrinking budgets in cities across America. Unfortunately, crime also spikes during downturns and cutting security can only aggravate losses. Crimes of opportunity have a higher chance of occurring when physical security presence is low or non-existent.
"Partnering with Iveda Solutions to create a safer and more secure environment for our tenants makes sense because they assist property management companies like ours in deploying effective security while containing cost," says Pamela Johns, Director of Asset Management for HELIX Asset Management.
The idea is to increase security without adding costly security guards or security technologies that are less effective. One way to solve this 'catch 22' problem is to employ technology with human analytics as provided by Iveda Solutions. Iveda Solutions employs a low capital expenditure security solution. No need to buy servers, recording devices, and software. Video footage is securely hosted and stored at a data center, accessible 24/7 anywhere, anytime, using a web browser.
"Our goal is to eliminate crimes being committed at our properties and to give our tenants peace of mind. With enhanced security, we anticipate attracting more tenants," adds Johns.
Iveda Solutions is the premier online provider of centralized video hosting and surveillance technology. Their unique approach to providing online security surveillance services and human analytics through "cloud computing" has awarded Iveda Solutions the SAFETY Act Designation.
"I look forward to this partnership being a successful model to help others achieve and accomplish what Helix and Iveda Solutions are doing within the community," adds Ly.
