You Don’t Need More Security Guards, You Need a Smarter Security System

Hiring additional security guards can quickly increase costs for businesses without guaranteeing stronger protection. Labor expenses rise, coverage can still be inconsistent, and blind spots remain.

With Flock Safety, organizations gain smarter, more predictable security. A simple annual subscription covers hardware, software, and installation. Instead of juggling hourly guard wages and scheduling challenges, you get a fixed, reliable cost that scales with your needs.

You don’t need more guards. You need smarter security.

Flock Safety gives security teams a more efficient way to protect property by combining 24/7 visibility, instant alerts, and actionable data to extend coverage and improve response. It doesn’t replace guards; it helps them work more effectively, cover more ground, and make faster, better-informed decisions. Together, your team and Flock technology deliver consistent, reliable security across every site.

Extend Your Reach Without Adding Headcount

Even the best guard can only be in one place at a time. They’re patrolling, checking gates, responding to calls, managing visitors, and while they’re doing that, other parts of your property could be left unprotected.

Flock technology fills the gaps. Cameras and sensors are always on, scanning every entry point and access road around the clock. When something unusual happens, like movement in a restricted area or an unauthorized vehicle entering your property, your team gets an instant alert with all the details they need to act quickly and confidently.

Unlike human coverage, which is limited to line-of-sight, Flock delivers 24/7/365 visibility across every property. There are no blind spots, missed shifts, or distractions. Guards can focus on responding to real events rather than walking empty spaces, while Flock ensures continuous monitoring everywhere else.

Get More From Your Security Budget

Security labor is one of the most significant expenses for any property. Guards cost an average of $19 an hour, and that’s before factoring in overtime, benefits, and turnover. With traditional staffing models, costs fluctuate. Hourly rates, retraining, and overtime quickly add up.

Flock’s fixed, predictable pricing simplifies budgeting. A single annual subscription includes everything: hardware, software, installation, and ongoing support. Many organizations see up to 50% savings by replacing redundant hours with always-on technology. Use the Flock Safety ROI calculator to determine your possible savings. 

It’s a smarter investment by reducing inefficiency while expanding coverage.

Smarter Response, Stronger Results

When something happens, seconds matter. Flock’s real-time alerts give guards context before they arrive on the scene, including what’s happening, where it’s happening, and who’s involved, leading to fewer false alarms and faster, more focused responses.

Flock’s system also captures automatic, searchable evidence, such as video and license plate data. Guards relying solely on manual notes or memory-based reporting can miss critical details. With Flock, every event is recorded accurately, ready to support investigations or verify actions later.

Build Accountability Into Every Shift

Technology doesn’t get tired, distracted, or forget to write a report. Every Flock alert, image, and response is automatically logged and time-stamped, creating a reliable record for verification and liability protection.

Flock gives security managers clear visibility into activity across every site and deeper insight into how teams are performing. Guards also benefit from transparent documentation of their work and the impact they make. This shared visibility strengthens accountability, reduces uncertainty, and builds trust between management and on-site staff.

Smarter Security Starts Here

Adding more guards might seem like the simplest solution, but it’s rarely the most effective one. Guards provide human judgment and presence; Flock provides consistency, evidence, and reach.

Flock delivers measurable ROI within months through labor savings, reduced incidents, and faster response times. Built-in deterrents like flashing lights, audio talk-downs, and real-time alerts help prevent crime before it happens, something that additional guards alone can’t guarantee.

When you pair your existing team with Flock, you extend their reach, improve their awareness, and deliver consistent results, while keeping costs predictable.

Your guards don’t need backup. They need the right tools.

Flock turns your security program into a force multiplier that’s always on, always aware, and always ready.
