The Bowie is a high rise luxury apartments and commercial space in downtown Austin, Texas. They opened in 2015 and in spring of 2017 Timothy Colgan took over as general manager when his first area to improve was heightened security through video system managment. The current video management system (VMS) was difficult, burdensome, complicated software and accessible via mobile options.
«From a risk management standpoint, probably the most helpful thing you could possibly ask for is camera footage, especially in the event you’re filling out an incident report,» Colgan notes. «Sometimes bad things do happen and having them on camera, especially elevator footage or pool footage—it can make a world of difference.»
The president of Eagle Eye Networks, Ken Francis, was a resident at The Bowie and approached Colgan about possibly installing his company’s Eagle Eye Cloud Security Camera VMS. The company manufactures cameras that come equipped with VMS software, which allows users to manage and record video completely in the cloud. Customers have the option to purchase hardware if they want to perform local recording.
For Colgan, having the ability to easily manage the VMS from any smart device appealed to him, as did the quality of the high-definition cameras, which can capture facial details and detect motion.
The quality of the cameras allows management to clearly make out facial or license plate details and identify persons or vehicles of interest… From a liability standpoint, key incidents the property wants to capture are slips, trips, and falls, which can happen at any time…
Even for luxury living, security is never a guarantee. But Colgan says having the Eagle Eye Cloud Security Camera VMS gives the residents peace of mind that they’re being watched over.
