Local coverage
Monitoring for Hillcrest's busy streets
Hillcrest is one of San Diego's densest and liveliest neighborhoods. Apartment buildings and condos line the side streets, while University Avenue and Fifth Avenue are packed with restaurants, bars, shops, and medical offices serving the nearby hospital campus.
That mix means activity at almost every hour. Bars and restaurants close late, medical offices open early, and residential buildings sit right between them. Owners here often want coverage that starts after the last business closes and runs until the first one opens.
First Watch Monitoring sets those hours property by property, using the cameras on site to watch entries, garages, and alleys, and documents each incident for owners and managers.
