Why Most Security Fails—And What Actually Works

Updated: Apr 22

Every business owner thinks their security system is enough—until it isn’t. Cameras, alarms, even security guards fail more often than they succeed, leaving businesses vulnerable to break-ins, theft, and vandalism. The harsh truth? Most security systems only record the crime. They don’t stop it.

🚨 The Security Gaps Criminals Exploit

Thieves aren’t amateurs. They know how to work around traditional security and take advantage of slow response times. Here’s how:

  • Cameras Don’t Stop Crime – Surveillance footage is useless in the moment unless someone is actively watching. Most businesses only check their cameras after the damage is done.

  • Alarm Systems Have Delays – Criminals know they have a few minutes before anyone responds to an alarm. In that time, they grab what they came for and disappear.

  • Police Response Times Are Too Slow – The average police response time for commercial burglaries is over 11 minutes. In high-crime areas or industries like cannabis, that time can be even longer.

  • Security Guards Can’t Be Everywhere – A single guard can’t watch multiple cameras, respond to incidents, and patrol a large property all at once. Gaps in coverage mean opportunities for criminals.

✅ What Actually Works: Real-Time Monitoring & Tracking

If you want true security, you need more than cameras and alarms—you need live surveillance, instant action, and real tracking technology. That’s where GreenShield Monitoring comes in.

🔴 Live Video Monitoring

  • We don’t just record crime—we see it happening in real-time.

  • Our security specialists monitor camera feeds as incidents unfold, allowing for instant action instead of delayed responses.

📡 Instant Threat Response

  • When a threat is detected, we act immediately—not minutes later.

  • We contact law enforcement, alert business owners, and provide live updates as the situation develops.

📍 GPS Tracking to Catch Criminals

  • We don’t just watch criminals—we track them.

  • Our GPS bait tracking technology has led police straight to thieves, resulting in real arrests and recovered stolen goods.

🔥 The Bottom Line

Most security companies offer reactive protection—they document what happened after the fact. But by then, it’s too late.

At GreenShield Monitoring, we believe in proactive security. We see the threat, act immediately, and track criminals beyond the crime scene.

Because when it comes to protecting your business, watching isn’t enough—we need to act.
