    Monitoring for National City

    National City is one of the oldest cities in San Diego County and one of its most compact. Its property mix includes older apartment buildings, newer transit-oriented housing near the trolley, a long row of auto dealers known as the Mile of Cars, and commercial strips along Plaza Boulevard and Highland Avenue.

    Dealer inventory and business equipment sit outside after hours, and apartment buildings near busy corridors deal with people passing through parking areas at night. Both call for eyes on the cameras when properties are quiet.

    First Watch Monitoring connects to existing cameras, sets coverage around each property's hours, and keeps written records of every incident for owners and managers.
