The ROI of AI Behavioral Video Analysis for Property Managers

Introduction

Every year, property managers face the same challenge: rising security risks, higher operating costs, and tighter budgets. Traditional solutions—guards, patrols, and basic camera systems—often deliver inconsistent results without clear financial returns.

AI Behavioral Video Analysis, also known as Active Scene Intelligence™, changes that equation. By adding context to video monitoring and filtering out false alarms, it delivers measurable savings and value. Here’s how property managers can achieve a clear return on investment (ROI) with this next-generation technology.

1) Lower Guard and Monitoring Costs

AI reduces the need for full-time monitoring by automating detection of unsafe or suspicious behavior.

• Before: Two guards on rotation + offsite monitoring team
• After: AI filters everyday activity, alerting only on true threats, allowing smaller teams to cover more ground

ROI impact: Reduced labor and overtime costs.

2) Fewer False Alarms = Fewer Fines and Disruptions

False alarms waste time, frustrate residents, and can lead to police response fines. Behavioral analysis reduces nuisance alerts.

ROI impact: Avoiding penalties while restoring confidence in the security system.

3) Insurance and Liability Savings

Insurers increasingly reward proactive security measures. Documented reductions in false alarms and unsafe activity can reduce premiums and improve compliance.

ROI impact: Lower insurance costs and fewer liability claims.

4) Increased Tenant Satisfaction and Retention

Residents value safety. Proactive deterrence improves reputation and helps renewals.

ROI impact: Lower turnover costs and stronger long-term revenue.

5) Real-World Example: Sage Valley HOA

After deploying ElectricEye’s Active Scene Intelligence™, they:

• Reduced false alarms by more than 95%
• Stopped after-hours intrusions before damage occurred
• Improved resident confidence in security

ROI impact: Immediate cost savings, improved community trust, and enhanced property value.

Conclusion

For property managers, ROI isn’t about how many cameras are installed—it’s about how effectively those cameras prevent incidents and reduce costs.

With AI Behavioral Video Analysis, properties can:

• Cut guard and monitoring expenses
• Avoid false alarm penalties
• Lower insurance premiums
• Improve tenant satisfaction and retention
