Not applicable
This is a scenario estimate, not a savings guarantee. Surveillance does not guarantee loss prevention. Use measured historical costs and conservative reduction assumptions.

These calculations cover one part of a security deployment. Get a broader assessment of cameras, connectivity, power, coverage, monitoring, and mobile surveillance requirements.
Include recurring security services and averaged historical loss categories that are relevant to the site. Avoid combining one-time incidents with monthly values unless you intentionally average them over a defensible period.
Default reductions are zero because no technology guarantees fewer incidents. Change only the categories you expect a proposed operating plan to influence, using assumptions you can explain.
Avoided loss is not the same as a guaranteed monthly payment reduction. Setup cost also affects first-year economics even when the recurring scenario is positive.
A useful ROI model becomes better with evidence. Track incidents, response actions, downtime, service cost, and losses using the same categories used in the original baseline.
Frequently asked questions
When the modeled monthly difference is positive, break-even divides one-time setup cost by that monthly difference. It is a scenario calculation, not a promise.
