Poll Results – Q1: What's the Biggest Frustration When Retrieving Incident Footage?

Video quality or camera coverage is inadequate — 10 (38%)
No significant challenges — 9 (35%)
Searching multiple camera feeds — 5 (19%)
Fast forward and delete as my only tools — 2 (8%)
Footage has already been overwritten or deleted — 0 (0%)
Sharing footage with law enforcement quickly — 0 (0%)

Key Takeaways

✔

Inadequate video quality or camera coverage is the top frustration at 38%, meaning the most common retrieval problem starts before anyone searches, with footage that was never captured clearly in the first place.

✔

35% report no significant challenges, nearly matching the top frustration, which shows a clear split between properties with reliable systems and those still struggling to get usable footage.

✔

Combined, 65% of respondents named a specific frustration, confirming that retrieval issues are the norm rather than the exception for most property teams.

✔

19% struggle with searching multiple camera feeds and another 8% rely only on fast forward and delete, showing that over a quarter of teams still lose time to manual, inefficient review.

✔

No respondents cited overwritten footage or sharing with law enforcement, suggesting retention and distribution are less pressing than capturing clear footage and finding it quickly.

Summary: Most property teams run into problems when retrieving incident footage, and the biggest one starts at the camera itself, with poor quality or gaps in coverage. Others lose time searching across multiple feeds or reviewing video manually. AI Video Surveillance addresses both sides of the issue, delivering clear coverage and AI analytics that let teams search for specific events instead of scrubbing through hours of footage, so the evidence is there when an accommodation dispute or incident needs to be documented.

Q2: In the past 12 months, how often have you been unable to retrieve footage you needed?

Poll Results – Q2: How Often Have You Been Unable to Retrieve Footage You Needed?

Not sure / I don't personally handle retrieval — 13 (45%)
2–3 times — 11 (38%)
Never — 5 (17%)
Once — 0 (0%)
4 or more times — 0 (0%)

Key Takeaways

✔

45% are not sure or don’t personally handle retrieval, the largest response, pointing to limited visibility into how often footage requests actually succeed or fail across properties.

✔

38% were unable to retrieve needed footage 2 to 3 times in the past year, showing that failed retrieval is a recurring problem rather than a one time event.

✔

Among the 16 respondents who gave a definite answer, 11 (69%) experienced at least two failed retrievals, meaning missing footage is more common than not for teams that track it.

✔

Only 17% report never being unable to retrieve footage, making a clean retrieval record the minority across the group.

✔

No one selected once or 4 or more times, so failures cluster at 2 to 3 per year, frequent enough to create real exposure when evidence is needed for a dispute or claim.

Summary: Nearly half of respondents have no direct visibility into footage retrieval, and among those who do, most have come up empty more than once in the past year. That combination leaves properties exposed when footage is needed to support a Fair Housing or ADA related claim. Cloud Based Surveillance keeps footage centrally stored and accessible to the right people, helping multifamily security teams close both the visibility gap and the retrieval gap.

Q3: How would you rate your property’s current incident documentation?

Poll Results – Q3: How Would You Rate Your Property's Incident Documentation?

Good — generally reliable, with occasional gaps — 11 (46%)
Excellent — consistent, complete and easy to retrieve — 6 (25%)
Fair — documentation varies by incident or property — 4 (17%)
Not sure — 2 (8%)
Poor — significant gaps or inconsistencies — 1 (4%)

Key Takeaways

✔

71% rate their documentation as good or excellent, showing most teams feel their incident records are generally in solid shape.

✔

At the same time, 67% chose a rating that includes occasional gaps, variation, or significant inconsistencies, meaning most properties acknowledge their documentation is not fully reliable.

✔

Only 25% describe their documentation as consistent, complete, and easy to retrieve, leaving three quarters of respondents short of that standard.

✔

17% say documentation varies by incident or property, pointing to inconsistent processes across portfolios that can weaken a property’s position when records are reviewed side by side.

✔

8% are not sure how their documentation rates and 4% call it poor, highlighting a smaller group with limited visibility or clear gaps that need immediate attention.

Summary: Most respondents view their incident documentation as reliable overall, but two thirds acknowledge gaps or inconsistencies, and only a quarter describe it as truly complete. Inconsistent records across incidents and properties can become a weak point when documentation is put to the test. AI Analytics for Surveillance helps standardize the process by automatically capturing and organizing incidents, giving property managers a consistent, timestamped record across every site.

Q4: If your company’s legal team audited your incident documentation tomorrow, how confident are you that it would meet their expectations?

Poll Results – Q4: How Confident Are You Your Documentation Would Pass a Legal Audit?

Very confident — 9 (36%)
Somewhat confident — 8 (32%)
I don't know — 5 (20%)
Not very confident — 3 (12%)
Not at all confident — 0 (0%)

Four Key Takeaways

✔

68% are very or somewhat confident their documentation would meet legal expectations, showing general optimism about audit readiness.

✔

Only 36% are very confident, meaning nearly two thirds of respondents have at least some doubt about how their records would hold up under legal review.

✔

20% don’t know how their documentation would perform in an audit, a significant blind spot given the legal stakes of Fair Housing and ADA related claims.

✔

12% are not very confident and no one chose not at all confident, suggesting few believe their documentation would fail outright, but some expect it to fall short.

✔

Combined, 32% are either not very confident or don’t know, indicating that one in three properties lacks real assurance that their documentation is audit ready.

Summary: While most respondents expect their documentation to hold up under legal review, only about a third are fully confident, and one in five simply don’t know. That uncertainty matters when Fair Housing and ADA claims depend on what a property can prove. Objective, timestamped video from AI Video Surveillance gives property teams evidence that supports their written records and strengthens their position when legal teams or insurers come asking.

Q5: Which improvement would make the biggest difference in managing your property’s liability?

Poll Results

Poll Results – Q5: Which Improvement Would Most Help Manage Liability?

Improving real-time incident detection and response — 10 (42%)
Finding and retrieving incident video faster — 7 (29%)
Creating a more complete, organized incident history — 6 (25%)
Simplifying evidence sharing with legal teams and insurers — 1 (4%)
Documenting consistent policy enforcement — 0 (0%)

Key Takeaways

✔

Improving real time incident detection and response is the top priority at 42%, showing many teams see liability management as starting with stopping incidents, not just documenting them afterward.

✔

29% want to find and retrieve incident video faster, which lines up with the search and retrieval frustrations reported in Q1 and Q2.

✔

25% prioritize a more complete, organized incident history, reinforcing the documentation gaps acknowledged in Q3.

✔

Combined, 54% chose faster retrieval or better incident history, meaning more than half of respondents see stronger evidence management as the biggest lever for reducing liability.

✔

Only 4% chose simplifying evidence sharing and no one selected policy enforcement documentation, suggesting the urgency sits with detection and access rather than how evidence is distributed.

Summary: Respondents want two things from their security: the ability to stop incidents as they happen and the ability to find the evidence quickly afterward. Remote Video Guarding delivers Real Time Crime Deterrence by detecting and responding to activity live, while AI Video Surveillance builds a searchable, organized incident history in the background. Together, they give multifamily properties a stronger foundation for both resident safety and liability management.
