Should You Offer Remote Guarding?

If you are like most security industry professionals, you are considering adding remote guarding to your offerings—and for good reason. 

The security industry is constantly evolving, and it is easy to fall behind without having the right tools and offerings in place. The most successful security system dealers and integrators keep their finger on the pulse of the market by expanding their offerings to provide the most affordable and effective security solutions to their customers. Today, that means offering remote guarding solutions. 

Why?

Many of your customers use a combination of security solutions that include live guards in addition to their video surveillance systems, even though it is possible to augment or replace security guard services with a far more effective and affordable solution. 

Here’s the problem. 

Security Guards Are Expensive

The mean annual wage for security guards in the United States is $33,030, which translates to $15.88 per hour – sounds pretty affordable, right? Nationwide, the average hourly rate for a security guard is $15-$25 per hour but could run between $30-$100+ per hour for more experienced or armed guards. The kind of guard your customers need depends on the security level necessary and what needs to be protected. 

The average cost breakdown is as follows: 

  • Basic unarmed guard: $15-$20 per hour
  • Basic armed guard: $20-$25 per hour
  • Unarmed guard with advanced skills and experience: $30-$35 per hour
  • Armed guard with advanced skills and experience: $35-$45 per hour
  • Most experienced armed guard (off-duty police officers, ex-military, etc.): $60-$100 per hour or more

There are Additional Limitations as Well

In addition to being costly, security guards cannot be everywhere at once, so having one guard is never really sufficient to cover even a small facility. Traditional guards can also be subject to many fallibilities, such as:

  • Fatigue
  • Inattentiveness
  • Corruption
  • Coercion
  • Fear
  • Poor training
