Transforming Outdoor Remote Video Services with Advanced Thermal Solutions

BOS Security is a premier provider of remote video services across the United States and Canada. As a family-owned business, BOS Security offers a comprehensive range of security solutions tailored to commercial and residential needs. Their flagship service, VirtuGuard, transforms security cameras into a proactive tool to prevent crime, vandalism and business loss through technology, protecting a wide-range of outdoor assets including construction sites, auto dealerships, educational institutions, retail locations, parking facilities, self-storage units, and many others.

The Challenge of Outdoor Remote Video Security Services

Like all security service providers tasked with safeguarding outdoor assets and ensuring their customers’ peace of mind, BOS Security relies on systems that rest on a foundation of performance. When it comes to remote video security services, this means choosing systems that detect the bad guys at all times – in the dark, in the rain, no matter what – and without triggering excessive false alarms.

After researching and testing various options, BOS Security selected SightLogix smart thermal SightSensors as the best solution to meet these challenges and deliver outstanding security services to their customers.

SightLogix Smart Thermal SightSensors: The Solution

SightSensors are distinguished by advanced thermal-based analytics, which detect intruders with remarkable accuracy. Once an intruder is detected, these cameras utilize thermal-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automatically classify and distinguish between humans and other objects moving outdoors, significantly reducing nuisance alarms common with traditional cameras. This capability is particularly valuable in challenging visibility conditions such as darkness, rain, or poor lighting, where conventional cameras fall short.

Among their many benefits, BOS remote video services powered by SightSensors can deliver:

• Confidence that the system won’t miss outdoor intrusions, even in bad weather
• Detection of intruders without overloading the monitoring center with excessive nuisance alarms, which drives up costs and undermines the solutions value
• A comprehensive thermal and visible solution for real-time awareness
• Massive coverage areas that protect even large sites with fewer devices, reducing costs

Customized Deployments for Diverse Needs

BOS Security customizes its deployment of SightLogix cameras based on specific site needs, often incorporating them into mobile trailer setups for enhanced surveillance flexibility. This approach is part of a broader strategy that includes direct sales and partnerships, allowing BOS to tailor their offerings to diverse market segments including construction sites, retail complexes, and auto dealerships.

Real-World Success Stories

Kevin Vettoral, Vice President of Technology at BOS Security, praises SightLogix cameras for their reliability and effectiveness. His enthusiasm stems from numerous successful deployments, where these cameras have detected and helped prevent incidents ranging from armed robberies to car break-ins. The cameras’ long-range detection capabilities have proven superior to other models, providing BOS Security with a distinct advantage in monitoring extensive areas.

He shares several incidents where the technology proved critical, stopping theft attempts and leading to police captures.

Construction Site Security: SightLogix cameras detected two individuals who jumpted a fence and were attempting to ascend a crane. The thermal sensors picked up their movement despite the darkness, alerting BOS Security onsite guard and the police, which were despatched to the site, leading to a successful police capture of one of the intruders.

Parking Garage Security: A person was deterred from a potential self-harm incident on a parking garage roof, thanks to the timely intervention facilitated by the cameras’ detection capabilities and BOS Security on-site guard. Police were despatched and the individual was taken for medical care.

Scrapyard Security: The cameras detected an individual jumping the fence into a scrapyard site, and police were immediately notified. While the intruder was able to flee the scene before responders arrived, recording from earlier indicated the individual had been there earlier to plan the attack. The individual’s vehicle and details were passed to the police for futher action.

Impact on Recurring Monthly Revenue and Cost Savings

One of the most significant benefits that come from integrating SightLogix SightSensors into BOS Security’s solution portfolio is the impact on Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR) and overall monitoring costs. By drastically reducing nuisance alarms—common with less sophisticated systems—BOS not only enhances operational efficiency but also passes on cost savings to their clients. The high accuracy and reliability of the SightSensors mean fewer false alarms, which translates into less time spent investigating and responding to non-threats. This efficiency gain allows BOS to optimize their monitoring resources and offer more competitive pricing, enhancing customer satisfaction and retention.

The Future of Security: BOS Security and SightLogix Partnership

BOS Security’s use of SightSensor cameras represents a significant advancement in the field of outdoor security. The firms share a common goal – providing the most reliable protection services for sites that demand serious solutions to serious problems. The combination of thermal imaging and AI-powered nuisance alarm reduction offers a robust solution to the challenges of monitoring vast, open spaces with high accuracy and minimal false alarms.

As security demands grow and evolve, the collaboration between BOS Security and SightLogix is a compelling example of how technological innovation is pivotal in shaping a safer, more secure environment.
