Get Superior Protection While Reducing Costs
Every business faces critical security threats. Theft, property damage, trespassing, and workplace accidents pose constant risks to your operations and bottom line — with losses in the billions for the retail sector alone. While many companies default to hiring security guards, this traditional approach often falls short of providing comprehensive protection. Virtual security guard services offer a superior solution — delivering round-the-clock surveillance, faster response times, and significant cost savings through advanced security technology.
It’s a breakthrough that can positively impact any business. Nearly four out of five businesses report a monthly loss from theft of between $500 and $2,500. Today, we’re examining virtual security guard services—such as ProTech Security’s Virtual Guard offering—and how they better serve commercial properties than simply relying on traditional in-person security guards.

The Traditional Security Guard Model: Understanding the Limitations
Traditional security personnel, while valuable, come with inherent limitations. Physical guards can only monitor one area at a time, require breaks, and may face challenges maintaining consistent alertness during long shifts. Additionally, businesses must manage scheduling complexities, coverage gaps, training requirements, and various employment-related overhead costs.
These limitations often result in:
- Inconsistent coverage across large properties
- Potential gaps during shift changes
- Increased liability and insurance costs
- Complex scheduling and management requirements
- Significant ongoing personnel expenses
Virtual Guard: Revolutionizing Security Operations
ProTech Security’s Virtual Guard service represents a technological leap forward in commercial security. A Virtual Guard solution uses a camera, speaker, and strobe to monitor an entire area. A virtual fence is set up in the software; once that threshold is crossed, notifications from the speaker and strobe go off.
The combination of this camera, speaker, and strobe can also be connected to a central station the same way a normal intrusion system can be. When connected, immediate communications to the person who has crossed the line can be issued, authorities can be dispatched, and live monitoring can keep a constant eye on the situation as well as continued communications.
By combining advanced video monitoring technology with professional security expertise, Virtual Guard delivers comprehensive protection that operates with unwavering consistency, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
