Your pool should be an amenity, not a liability. Without the right security in place, community pools quickly become targets for trespassing, after-hours use, vandalism, and even serious accidents. The reality is that unsecured access can end up costing your community far more than you might think.
Community pools are one of the most common sources of HOA headaches. When gates or access points aren’t properly managed, boards face constant problems with unauthorized entry and liability exposure. The risks go beyond inconvenience—they can impact your finances, your residents, and even your reputation.
Legal Liability: If a pool or gate isn’t properly secured, HOAs can be held responsible for injuries or unauthorized access. Drowning accidents and slip-and-fall cases are among the most common and costly claims.
Insurance Impacts: Unsecured access points increase risk, and insurance providers take notice. Higher claims can result in increased premiums or, in some cases, even policy cancellation.
Community Reputation: Residents and potential buyers expect safe, well-managed amenities. A reputation for unsafe or mismanaged access can lower property value and create frustration among homeowners.
Preventable Incidents: The truth is, most of these issues are preventable with the right security systems in place. From smart access control to pool surveillance cameras, today’s technology makes it easy to protect your residents and reduce risk.
That’s where BSN Security comes in. By integrating CheKT cloud-based monitoring with cameras and access control, we provide real-time visibility and instant response. Instead of waiting for a patrol or resident report, our system actively monitors your pool 24/7, sends immediate alerts when unauthorized entry occurs, and allows managers or guards to respond instantly.
The results are clear: safer residents, reduced liability, and lower costs for the community. HOAs using CheKT monitoring see a significant drop in trespassing incidents, fewer vandalism repairs, and peace of mind knowing their pool is secure around the clock.
At the end of the day, the real cost of an unsecured pool isn’t just about repairs—it’s about liability and risk. By investing in the right security solutions, your HOA can protect residents, reduce exposure, and save money long-term.
