Keeping your property secure

Security for vacant properties with BauWatch

Vacant properties are often the target of vandalism, theft and unauthorised access. This can cause considerable damage and losses. Our security solutions offer you comprehensive protection with state-of-the-art surveillance technology, customised security plans and fast response times. This allows you to reliably secure your property.

Tailored security solutions for every vacancy

As experts in temporary video surveillance, we know that different properties may require different solutions. An abandoned office building faces different risks than a disused shopping centre. Structures at risk of collapse, unsecured lift shafts and dilapidated stairwells pose additional dangers - both for unauthorised persons and for you as the owner, who may be liable for accidents.

Standard solutions are not enough to meet these challenges. That's why we our experts provide a tailored solution for every job. We survey each property individually, assess risks and develop a tailor-made security plan.

Whether camera surveillance, guard and security services or mobile video surveillance - we will find the right solution for you.

You don't have to worry about a thing. From planning and installation to monitoring - we take care of all the security.

Always at your service

Broken Windows Theory

Did you know

... that vacant properties can have a negative impact on entire neighbourhoods through vandalism, illegal activities and unauthorised access. The Broken Windows Theory developed by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling in 1982, states that even minor damage such as broken windows can lead to further problems. An unprotected, neglected building signals that no one cares about the place, which can lead to further decay and crime. Our security solutions offer proactive protection, prevent secondary damage and preserve the value of the property as well as the sense of security in the neighbourhood. An early protection approach contributes significantly to the stabilisation and desirability of entire neighbourhoods

We protect what is important to you

Every site is unique

Every vacant property is unique and poses individual security risks. Different locations, types of use and environmental conditions require tailored security solutions. Our security experts develop security plans that are customised for each property, regardless of its size or geographical location.

Your property, our commitment

Solutions for every challenge

Why is it essential to secure vacant property? They can attract unwanted visitors - from vandals and thieves to Urban explorers who see abandoned buildings as an adventure playground. Squatters and illegal getherings are also common problems. In addition to financial damage, this also creates considerable liability risks if unauthorised persons injure themselves on the premises. Without effective protective measures, there is a risk of high costs, loss of value and possible legal consequences.

This is where our modern surveillance systems come into play: temporary or permanently installed cameras provide targeted or round-the-clock security for your property. They deter potential perpetrators, identify risks at an early stage and can help to prevent damage in the event of an emergency. They can also aid in the physical protection of persons who enter the premises without authorisation.
