How It Works

Bandit Systems’ RealTime™ Remote Guard Service combines advanced AI with live, trained operators to prevent crime before it happens.

Our detection system continuously monitors cameras and network sensors, filtering activity and alerting Bandit’s operators only when a person or vehicle meets predefined criteria. Operators follow account-specific protocols to quickly determine whether activity is authorized. If it’s not, they issue a live audio warning through Bandit’s proprietary speaker system to remove the trespasser.

When necessary, law enforcement is notified with a detailed description of the individual and activity. Customers receive weekly reports of all routine activity and trespassers, and expedited incident reports for any activity requiring faster notification. The video surveillance system is accessible by customers, and training & configuration is provided.

Who We Serve

How we maintain a 96% Renewal Rate

Bandit Systems has been an essential partner in maintaining the security of our properties and the satisfaction of our tenants. Their RealTime service, combined with a reliable and responsive team, has significantly reduced trespassing and theft across our sites — saving us the costly consequences that often come with these issues. We truly couldn’t ask for a better partner in safeguarding our commercial portfolio.

Erin Garner

Property Manager / Leasing Agent, Trico Realty, Inc.

We hired Bandit to protect a couple key areas and were impressed with their team - from sales, through the installation, on boarding, to operating the system, the entire company has been highly responsive and engaged. Their camera system quality and response time to trespassers are both superior to the service we were using previously.

My favorite aspect of Bandit is their dependability. They tell you what they’re going to do and then do it. Each team member I have interacted with is professional and knowledgeable.  When I have an issue, I can rely on them to address it within the same day. Bandit's reliability allows me to focus on other aspects of my business. That’s the kind of company I like to do business with.

We were very impressed with how everything turned out. Thank you to the Bandit Systems team for a great experience.

Regional Property Manager, Grubb Properties

We manage a large facility that had terrible issues at night. We tried everything we could think of, including night time security guards. The only thing that worked was Bandit Systems RealTime service. Since we hired them, our problems have evaporated. The cost is significantly less than the other options we tried and our tenants are finally happy.

Bandit Systems has earned our highest recommendation. Four years ago, we awarded Bandit Systems the security monitoring contract for one of our commercial centers. Today Bandit protects 7 properties, with more to follow.

Melvin Cooper

Normally, I wouldn't respond at this level but I have to say that in all areas, Bandit has exceeded my wildest expectations.

The installation team did a fantastic job. Not only did they get the cameras installed super quick without any dramas but they did it with zero impact on the terminal operation.

Mark Curtis

What I appreciate most about working with Bandit Systems is the clear communication across every department. They always follow through on their commitments, and more importantly, they respond quickly and professionally — with a consistently friendly attitude. It’s rare to find a team that’s both reliable and a pleasure to work with.

Bandit Systems was originally created to address a growing gap in the security industry. Traditional, analog security integrators were not successfully making the switch to advanced network-based video surveillance technology. By focusing on high-performance IP-based camera systems, Bandit Systems began designing and installing advanced surveillance solutions for commercial customers across the Monterey Bay region.

As we worked with more businesses, it became clear that traditional “record-only” security cameras were not reaching their full potential. These systems captured crimes after they occurred—but they didn’t prevented them. We believed security systems should do more than simply document incidents; they could actively stop them.

In 2017, our team set out to solve this problem. After a year of development, we launched our in-house, scalable solution: RealTime Remote Guard Service.

Powered by Bandit Systems’ proprietary software, the platform integrates sensor data with camera networks to intelligently detect when an individual enters a protected area, without requiring guards to continuously monitor video feeds. This dramatically improves accuracy and response time while reducing the inefficiencies of traditional monitoring.

However, detection was only part of the solution. The next question was simple: once we know someone is on the property, what do we do about it?

To solve this, Bandit Systems designed and deployed its own internet-based public address (PA) system. This technology allows our Deterrence Specialists to instantly communicate with individuals on-site from anywhere. Within seconds of detection, our team can assess the situation and directly address the person on the property.

By combining intelligent detection with real-time engagement, our system can detect, assess, and intervene within seconds. The result is a highly effective security solution—98% of our PA engagements result in unauthorized individuals leaving the property within 60 seconds of arrival.
