Vacant buildings are a real paradise for criminals: these unused properties, which are often just waiting to be brought back to life, turn into dangerous playgrounds for vandalism, burglaries and other illegal activities. As many vacant properties are inadequately secured, they offer ideal conditions for criminal activity. The consequences are often devastating – from costly property damage to complete destruction that costs time and money. This is why effective vacancy monitoring is not only sensible, but essential for owners and companies who want to protect themselves against these risks!
Vacancy monitoring from VIDEO GUARD.
We often hear the question: Is a vacancy-monitoring really necessary? Many believe that a vacancy is not an attractive target for criminals. But our many years of experience show the opposite: unused properties in particular often become targets for various illegal activities:
Vandalism and graffiti
Empty buildings often attract vandals who smash windows, smear walls or destroy furnishings. Repairs are costly and delay the future use of the vacant property.
Burglary and theft
Unguarded buildings can easily become targets for theft. Valuable components such as copper cables, heating systems or electrical installations are frequent targets of burglaries.
Arson
Abandoned buildings are also a preferred target for arson. Small fires often start, go unnoticed and spread uncontrollably, which can ultimately lead to the complete destruction of the building.
Dangers for young explorers
Children and young people are also often attracted to empty buildings or dormant construction sites and explore them out of curiosity or to play. Such excursions are not only undesirable but also extremely dangerous: open shafts, construction materials lying around or unsecured scaffolding pose a high risk of injury that is often underestimated by young explorers. A little reminder: As the owner, you are also responsible for complying with your duty to maintain safety against unauthorized intruders. Protect the building and yourself from unauthorized access.
All these dangers clearly show: Effective vacancy monitoring is not just a precautionary measure, but an absolute must in order to protect valuable investments and prevent damage.
