Monitoring for Santa Monica
Santa Monica is a beach city with a big business footprint. Tech and media firms lease much of the office space downtown and along the Colorado Avenue corridor, the Third Street Promenade and Main Street draw shoppers and diners, and apartment buildings, many of them long-held, older buildings, line the blocks from Ocean Park to Montana Avenue.
Beach traffic and tourism mean public spaces stay busy, and that activity reaches the alleys, carports, and garage entrances behind apartment and commercial buildings. Office tenants leave in the evening, but the surrounding streets don't empty out.
First Watch Monitoring designs coverage for Santa Monica properties that accounts for that constant public activity, with clear instructions for operators on what needs action.
