The one last area I wanted to report back on from FS-TEC was the Video Surveillance breakout session from Day 1. I wanted to highlight Greg May’s presentation Let Me Show You the $ – The why, what, and how to a successful surveillance system.  Greg is the CTO of Paradigm Investment Group.  Greg’s presentation was a great playbook for multi-unit operators from a customer/operator perspective.  It hit on need, selection, installation, tips and most importantly value delivery.  Full disclosure here, he is an Envysion customer. 

I thought I’d share a couple quotes from his presentation that would be valuable for anyone considering a managed video solution:

Why do I need a surveillance system?
1. To monitor external influences:
• Hold ups; Robberies; Slip and Falls
2. To monitor Staff:
• Employee theft , harassment, worker’s comp issues
• Verify that employees follow operational guidelines
3. To provide assistance for remote technicians
4. Source of training video for best and worst case examples

How you see the $
When video surveillance systems are combined with business intelligence and a consistent monitoring solution, these systems can and will pay for themselves through loss prevention, staff performance and overall operational efficiency.

Great insight Greg, thanks for sharing!
