"Achieving true crime prevention has been my ambition for decades, but it has only truly become possible the past few years as the technology finally caught up to fully enable my vision,” says Elite CEO & Founder Aria Kozak, who on April 10 was inducted into the Security Industry Hall of Fame. “By strategically implementing and custom calibrating the latest in AI and analytics, the remote video guarding results Elite and its monitoring command center- in terms of direct daily crime preventions and police assistance in arrests and detainments-have been extraordinary and previously unattainable.”
Elite’s remote-guarding
By fully leveraging technology and expertise, Elite is the first monitoring provider to eliminate false alarms reported to police. Through Elite, police experience zero false alarm-driven dispatches. Furthermore, Elite’s remote guarding acts as a live eyewitness to the scene as police respond to help them be prepared and proceed much more safely.
During 2023, 102 million hours of video and audio data streamed into Elite’s monitoring center. Due to its pioneering-edge technologies, monitoring agents only had to review 55,200 of those hours. From that, they handled 73,000 incidents without police dispatch. The approximately 1,700 times police were dispatched led to more than 1,000 arrests/detainments. All that was accomplished with no false alarms to the police.

“While it’s true the technology has come of age, it’s important to remember it is merely a tool that is only as effective as the methodologies, personnel, and partnerships in place to deliver the total, interconnected solution. Often, less is more,” adds Kozak. “With how Elite has proven what is now possible for our great industry, I could not be more excited about its future and our ability to continue to innovate even more. Given that, having Elite additionally validated in being named the 2024 TMA Monitoring Technology Marvel Award winner could not be more gratifying. Our team is thoroughly honored!"
