Live Video Monitoring That Protects Residents and Property at Apartment and Condo Communities

1Degree Surveillance delivers apartment security monitoring through live remote video coverage for apartment and condo communities, whether you manage the property directly or you’re a monitoring company, alarm dealer, or integrator delivering white label coverage to your clients. Our operator bench and AI assisted detection cover common areas, parking, and amenities around the clock, protecting residents and deterring incidents before they escalate.

What multi-family residential monitoring must get right

Apartment and condo properties combine shared amenities, parking areas, and high foot traffic with residents who expect their privacy to be respected. Monitoring that gets this vertical right protects common spaces without overreaching into private life.

Protect common areas and amenities without overreaching

Lobbies, pools, gyms, laundry rooms, and clubhouses need consistent coverage. Camera placement and monitoring stay focused on shared spaces, not on windows or private units.

Deter package theft at mailrooms and doorsteps

Package clusters at mailrooms and building entries are a frequent target. Live detection and voice down warnings can stop a theft before a resident ever finds an empty box.

Icon representing Cover Parking Areas and Garages

Cover parking areas and garages

Parking lots and garages are large, often poorly lit, and hard to staff. Continuous camera coverage with active monitoring closes the gap between incidents and response.

Provide usable video evidence when incidents happen

Property managers and residents need more than raw footage. Clear, well timed clips and incident reports make it possible to act on what the cameras actually saw.

Why monitoring companies choose 1Degree for multi-family coverage

Multi-family properties need coverage that scales across buildings, parking areas, and amenities without pricing your client out or missing real threats.

Icon representing Cost-Effective Pricing for Multi-Family Residential

Cost effective across large communities

Pricing built to scale with unit count and camera count, so covering a 300 unit property does not price out your client.

Icon representing Multi-Family Residential Operator Bench

An operator bench that covers it all at once

Common areas, parking, and garages get watched together instead of competing for a single operator's attention.

Icon representing AI Detection Tuned for Multi-Family Residential

AI tuned for privacy and real threats

Detection is tuned to flag trespassing, loitering, and package theft in shared spaces while staying out of residents' private lives.

Want to add multi-family residential to what you monitor?

1Degree gives monitoring companies the operator bench and AI detection to take on apartment and condo clients without building new capacity in house.

A monitoring team built for multi-family residential properties

Multi-family properties do not fit a single camera plan. Buildings, parking structures, and shared amenities all need coverage, and residents expect that coverage to stop at their front door. 1Degree’s operator bench and AI detection are set up to cover the property, not the resident.

What most monitoring providers miss about multi-family residential

Many providers treat an apartment complex like a single commercial building. Multi-family properties need coverage that spans buildings, parking, and shared spaces while staying out of residents’ private lives.

A steady approach to multi-family residential coverage

A regional monitoring company added a portfolio of apartment communities to its client base without adding staff. 1Degree’s operator bench covered common areas, parking, and package zones under the monitoring company’s own brand, with incident reporting the company could hand straight to its property manager clients.
