    Monitoring for Pasadena

    Pasadena blends a historic downtown with a serious research and professional economy. Old Pasadena's restored buildings hold shops and restaurants, offices line Lake Avenue and Colorado Boulevard, Caltech and nearby research facilities draw scientists and engineers, and condo and apartment buildings have filled in around the Gold Line stations.

    Historic buildings often have limited room for new security hardware and several old entrances, while research and medical facilities hold equipment that matters far beyond its price. Residential buildings near transit see steady foot traffic at all hours.

    First Watch Monitoring works within those constraints, using whatever cameras each building has and noting where an older layout leaves a gap, then sets coverage for the hours each property needs.
