Video monitoring

Operators who see what your cameras see.

Video monitoring adds eyes to your alarm. When a camera detects a person or vehicle in a protected area, an operator looks at the live view and decides what happens next.

  • Verified alarms, so we can confirm what is happening before police are called
  • Live talk-down: where cameras or speakers have two-way audio, operators can warn people off the property
  • After-hours schedules for shops, offices and build sites
  • Clips saved for you and for any report that follows
