Pro-Active Business Solutions provides surveillance solutions

Historically, public housing has been plagued with high crime rates and as a result unable to serve as the government's answer as a safe refuge for those it was designed to occupy. The advent of new surveillance systems is slowly changing these environments back to peaceful communities with occupants and building owners welcoming the benefits the systems now provide. Several public housing complexes in Atlantic City were recently retrofitted with surveillance systems which allow attendants to monitor who is coming and going more accurately. "The goal is to provide a watchful presence which will assist in getting rid of those who shouldn't be there and aid in prosecuting criminals at-large," said Zsolt Sapy, vice president of corporate sales for Uniondale, N.Y. based Pro-Active Business Solutions, Inc. While surveillance systems are nothing new in many multi-housing complexes, the technology used is. The ability to monitor over the Internet provides owners of multiple housing complexes access to their properties any time they want. Pro-Active was contacted by Great Neck, N.Y.-based real estate management firm JJJ Properties of New Jersey, LLC, to design a system and install it at their multi-housing complexes in Atlantic City. The system Pro-Active Business Solutions designed for the School House Apartments involved the placement of nearly 300 cameras throughout the complex routed back to the main viewing area, which has two-to-three trained security attendants monitoring the entire complex 24-hours a day providing a more peaceful environment at the complex.
