Monitoring across El Cajon
El Cajon sits in a valley ringed by hills, and its property mix reflects a working East County city: apartment complexes along the main corridors, a downtown on Main Street, auto dealers and service shops, and industrial and aviation businesses around Gillespie Field.
Industrial and auto-related sites keep a lot of value in their yards: vehicles, parts, and equipment that sit outside overnight. Apartment complexes, meanwhile, deal with the everyday problems of carports and shared laundry and mail areas. Both benefit from someone watching cameras after hours rather than reviewing footage the next day.
First Watch Monitoring covers El Cajon properties using the cameras on site, with coverage hours and contacts set for each property before monitoring goes live.
