Challenge

Repeated vandalism in laundry rooms, mail centers and parking aisles. Previous vendor logged 'drive-throughs' but couldn't prove on-site presence. Insurer flagged the property for premium increases.

Approach

  • Two randomized GPS-verified tours per night between 22:00 and 04:00.
  • Geofenced check-ins at laundry, mail, and pool areas — photo on arrival.
  • Owner portal access: every tour visible by 09:00 next morning.
  • Coordination with property management on weekly trend reports.

Result

Reported vandalism incidents dropped roughly 30% over the first 90 days. Insurance underwriter accepted documented patrol logs in lieu of a property-wide camera upgrade.
