Demand for tighter security and better operational control is pushing commercial property managers to rethink how they handle parking, with LPR (License Plate Recognition) technology becoming a popular upgrade. Parking areas often fall through the cracks when it comes to commercial video surveillance planning, but LPR turns them into active zones of control. These systems log every vehicle that enters or exits, giving staff instant access to real-time traffic data.

Offices, retail centers, and mixed-use spaces use LPR to enforce rules, manage access, and eliminate the hassle of paper permits or manual checks. Security teams can flag unauthorized vehicles, track employee and visitor movements, and respond to incidents without digging through hours of footage.

Property managers also get the tools to monitor trends—who parks where, how long, and how often—which helps in redesigning layouts or adjusting policies. The result: tighter oversight, quicker response times, and smoother daily operations. LPR works around the clock to keep parking organized, monitored, and secure.

When most people think of security film, they picture reinforced windows built to keep intruders out. And while that’s certainly a major benefit, projectile-resistant films do more than just bolster security. In schools across Austin, Texas, this subtle layer of protection is proving to be an unsung hero not just in emergencies, but in everyday life.

Let’s explore what makes projectile-resistant security film such a valuable upgrade for schools, and how its benefits extend far beyond physical protection.

Traditional time-based video searches can feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack. But what if your surveillance system could think like your business?

That’s exactly what Verkada’s Helix delivers. Available through the intuitive Verkada Command platform, Helix turns your commercial security system in Austin, TX, into a smart, responsive business tool by linking third-party event data with your security video footage. Here’s how Helix works.

Instead of piecing together separate video surveillance, access control, analytics, and monitoring systems, you get everything integrated into one intelligent platform that actually streamlines your operations while keeping your ATX properties secure.
