This is the difference between recording a crime and preventing one. Watch a live AV Surveillance guard spot an intruder, call them out by description, and clear the property — in seconds, not minutes.
Two prowlers, one empty corner, and a guard watching live. A voice out of nowhere calls them out — and they walk. No theft, no damage, no police report to file in the morning.
Most businesses think they're protected. They're not — they're documented. That difference shows up on your P&L as stolen inventory, vandalism repairs, insurance deductibles, and rising premiums.
Retail shrink alone hit $94.5 billion in a single year. Vandalism costs businesses $2–$10 billion annually. And when a break-in happens, the average traditional alarm reaches police in about 8 minutes — long enough for a crew to load a truck and be gone. Your "security" didn't protect the asset. It just filmed you losing it.
There are three ways to protect a commercial property. Only one actually stops the crime. Here's the honest breakdown:
Type A documents your loss. Type B is a payroll line that still can't be everywhere. Type C is the only model built to keep the loss from happening at all — for less than the cost of a single on-site guard.
Motion-activated AI edge cameras stream to a local smart hub that processes 50+ images per second and flags a real human threat in seconds — not a raccoon, not a passing car.
A trained guard is watching the moment a person steps on your property and speaks through two-way audio: "You by the loader — you're on private property and being recorded. Leave now." Being called out live ends most intrusions on the spot.
If they don't leave, the guard triggers sirens and strobes and contacts your local police — in under 30 seconds, while the intruder is still on camera and on site.
AI edge cameras in 2K/4K, an on-site smart hub that processes 50+ images a second, built-in speakers and sirens for live voice intervention, and a mobile app so you can see and speak to anyone on your property yourself. Hardwired PoE for stability, wireless bridge-to-bridge to reach anywhere on the property — or fully solar where there's no power at all.

I'm Shad Breaux, founder of AV Surveillance. I've spent 30 years in electronic surveillance — a degree in Electronic Repair, a stack of certifications, and years inside some of the largest security companies in the industry. I learned exactly how they operate: customers are account numbers, and "service" means a recording you review after you've already been hit.
I started AV Surveillance in 2009 to do the opposite. We design, install, and monitor active-deterrence systems that stop crime in progress — backed by live guards and three decades of field experience. When you work with us, you're not an account. You're protected like family.
A security pro with 30 years in the field reviews your property's blind spots and shows you exactly where you're exposed — and how active deterrence closes the gap.
Tell us where you're exposed — we'll reach out within one business day.
We never spam you. Your details stay private. Prefer to talk now? Call (213) 566-4399.
