SEBRING, Fla. (May 27, 2003) - When building a gated community of single family homes, condominiums or apartments, one of the biggest expenses a developer faces is providing for guard service. Especially in the early stages, when they are forced to pay full cost for security while only a percentage of units have been sold and the community is years away from completion. However, thanks to a new plan offered by Hidden Eyes Guard Service, developers can improve their bottom line while still providing full vehicle access control for residents from the time they move into the community.

Developers seeking to provide traditional security guard service for residents in a new development typically pay full price, regardless of the number of units sold and occupied. Hidden Eyes Guard Service dramatically changes that model by allowing developers to pay on a sliding scale until the community is built out.

New developments providing their residents with traditional guard service will pay full price for that service regardless of whether there are 25 units or 250 units completed. However, with the "Pay As You Grow" plan from Hidden Eyes, new developments pay reduced costs, with slight increases each year until built out, when regular prices go into effect. However, even those rates are still lower than traditional security guard prices.

In a recent proposal submitted to a community expecting to build out at 450 units in three years, Hidden Eyes can offer its services, 24-hours a day, seven days a week, at an estimated savings of nearly $75,000 over that period; and approximately $22,000 in savings for the community each year after. Those figures do not include the estimated $20,000 to $250,000 in savings to the developer since there are no added construction costs for a guardhouse.

Hidden Eyes Guard Service can offer these savings because of its newly patented system. The system replaces a security guard and guardhouse with a kiosk that transmits video and sound via a secure Internet connection to one central monitoring station. Trained professionals at the station then perform the task of verifying an individual's request for access to the community. In addition to providing or denying access, Hidden Eyes stores appropriate information, such as images of a driver's face and license tag, and other details in a database. This information can be retrieved and instantly forwarded to authorities in the event of a security breech. Located in Florida, Hidden Eyes can service communities anywhere in the country.

Hidden Eyes Guard Service reduces and eliminates the issues or problems currently associated with access control. Existing access methods, security guards or telephone entry, can be inefficient and in some cases ineffective. Guard costs continue to rise, turnover is high and record keeping is often inaccurate. In addition, many guards are poorly trained. Telephone entry systems feature very limited capabilities. There is no record of the guest's name, vehicle, or who authorized entry. Hidden Eyes addresses these issues and more, delivering services efficiently and at lower costs than traditional guard services.

Hidden Eyes is the sister company of Gate Packages Unlimited, also based in Sebring. Gate Packages Unlimited provides automated custom welded aluminum gates, fencing and vehicle access control equipment for residential and commercial applications nationwide.
