From Nordstrom and Macy’s to Johnny Rockets, Sacramento, Calif.’s Arden Fair Mall is a destination as well as a retail and dining community on its own. Thanks to Steve Reed, it is also a safe and secure family-oriented 77-acre facility. Reed, the mall’s director of security and guest services, went from VHS-based cameras a decade ago to today’s sophisticated in-house security operation boasting high definition cameras, network video recorders (NVRs) and a Segway or two.

Moving east, with a stop in downtown Columbus, Ohio, the Arena District is a 75-acre mixed-use development with a variety of stores and restaurants, exciting entertainment venues as well as office developments and residential housing. For Jay Beighley, AVP, corporate security with Nationwide Insurance, security video plays a key role to provide a comfortable environment. The Arena District is developed, managed and marketed by Nationwide Realty Investors, the real estate development affiliate of Nationwide Insurance.
