1Degree Surveillance delivers commercial building security monitoring through live remote video for portfolios, whether you manage the property directly or you’re a monitoring company, alarm dealer, or security integrator delivering white label coverage to your clients. Our operator bench and AI assisted detection cover lobbies, entrances, common areas, and vacant space around the clock.
Commercial office buildings carry a different risk profile than other verticals, especially where space sits vacant or underleased. A monitoring program has to account for that from day one.
Empty suites and underleased floors carry a higher risk of trespassing, squatting, and theft. Continuous monitoring keeps those areas covered even when no tenant is present.
Lobbies, loading docks, stairwells, and parking areas need coverage after staff and tenants leave for the day, when incidents are most likely to occur.
Multi-tenant buildings often have shared spaces nobody specifically owns. Active monitoring with live voice down deters intruders before damage occurs.
Building owners need clear video records and incident reporting they can share with insurers, tenants, and law enforcement after an event.
Commercial building clients expect coverage that holds up after hours and across shared spaces. 1Degree gives monitoring companies the pricing, operator capacity, and detection technology to deliver that without building it in house.
Cost effective pricing that fits underleased or budget constrained buildings.
An operator bench that covers lobbies, entrances, and common areas at once.
AI detection tuned for after-hours activity in low-occupancy buildings.
Add cost effective, operator-backed coverage without hiring or training new staff.
You do not need to staff and train a dedicated commercial building team to serve this vertical. 1Degree gives you a bench of trained operators and AI assisted detection you can deploy under your own brand.
Commercial building clients do not just need cameras recording. They need a monitoring partner that can staff the coverage, catch activity in real time, and hand you evidence you can act on.
Pricing built for underleased and budget constrained buildings, not enterprise office towers.
More trained operators watching more cameras at once, so coverage does not thin out during peak hours.
AI detection flags activity, trained operators confirm it and take action, not just an automated alert.
Many providers treat commercial buildings like any other property. Vacant space, shared common areas, and after-hours risk need a different approach.
Pricing built around real building budgets, not enterprise contracts.
Pilot a building or two, or roll out coverage across your full commercial portfolio.
We understand vacancy risk, multi-tenant common areas, and after-hours exposure.
Get new commercial building clients under coverage without a long ramp up.
Add coverage as your commercial building client base grows, without hiring and training in house.
AI tuned for after-hours activity, reviewed by trained operators before any action is taken.
Incident summaries and documentation your clients and their insurers can actually use.
One person who knows your accounts, not a rotating support queue.
Clear records if you ever bring monitoring back in house.
Choosing how to cover commercial buildings should not be complicated.

For most monitoring companies, 1Degree is the cost effective way to add commercial building coverage without hiring and training your own operator team.
Commercial building monitoring only works if someone is actually watching and ready to act. 1Degree pairs AI assisted detection with a trained operator bench, so activity gets reviewed and escalated in real time, not just recorded.
A regional monitoring company had commercial office clients asking about coverage for vacant floors and after-hours common areas. Rather than hiring and training new operators, they used 1Degree’s white label bench to add that coverage under their own brand. Clients saw faster response to after-hours activity, and the monitoring company kept the client relationship and the revenue.

Monitoring for vehicle break-ins, loitering, and after-hours access.
Coverage for equipment theft, material loss, and unauthorized entry.
