No property protection device, however advanced, will ever replace the human element in professional security. A properly trained and equipped watchman is the frontline of defense against virtually all types of damage and theft. A guard can identify and assess hazards before they pose an actual threat. With the proper equipment, they can provide invaluable records of patrols and security checks. They can search, detain or even apprehend an offender.

You could spend thousands of dollars on a video surveillance system that will rarely, if ever, deter or prevent crime. In most cases the best you can hope for is that the camera will have caught enough of a glimpse of the perpetrators face to be used for identification. If he's wearing a mask or is smart enough to avoid looking at the camera, you're out of luck. You then have to hope the lighting, camera angle, weather and a dozen other factors are just right so that the next day you can sit and watch your property being stolen on TV. By then it's too late.

A security officer is already there, has already observed a potential intruder and chased them off or better
