Remote Camera Monitoring
Proactive Security that Stops Crime
Standard security cameras are effective for recording evidence but fall short by only showing events after they occur. To truly safeguard your assets, a system that acts while the intruder is present is essential.
Our expertise lies in Remote Video Monitoring, also known as Virtual Guarding. By integrating advanced video analytics with live human operators, we transform passive surveillance into an active security solution capable of detecting, deterring, and reporting criminal activity in real-time.

The Importance ofRemote Camera Monitoring
This service effectively bridges the gap between a standard burglar alarm and hiring a full-time security guard.
1. Cost Efficiency
Hiring a security guard can cost $4,000 to $6,000 monthly for one overnight shift. Remote camera monitoring provides better coverage at 60-80% less cost, viewing multiple angles simultaneously.
2. Audio Intervention
Our Talk-Down Speaker is highly effective. When an intruder is spotted, operators use loudspeakers to warn: "Attention! You are trespassing on a monitored site. The police have been dispatched. Leave immediately." This verbal warning deters intruders in 98% of cases.
3. Priority Police Dispatch
Police prioritize "Crimes in Progress." Standard alarms are low priority, but when we report, "We have video verification of two males breaking into a vehicle," the response is faster, leading to more arrests.

Yes, most countries and regions (including Canada) have licensing bodies and regulations that govern security providers. Check local laws to ensure your provider complies with these standards.
How do I measure the effectiveness of security measures?
Measuring the effectiveness of security measures involves tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate how well systems and personnel are meeting safety and asset protection goals. Start by analyzing incident response times, reductions in theft, vandalism, or shrinkage, and overall resolution rates for reported issues. Comparing pre- and post-implementation data helps demonstrate tangible improvements in safety and loss prevention. Regular audits, surveys, and risk assessment reports can also gauge the reliability and perception of security measures.
Key KPIs to track include:
- Incident response times: Faster responses to alarms or emergencies.
- Reduction in theft/vandalism: Compare loss data before and after implementation.
- Patrol compliance: Track patrol frequency and adherence via GPS or logs.
- False alarm rates: Lower rates ensure focus on real threats.
- Client/Employee satisfaction: Gather feedback to measure confidence in security.
- Client services: Dedicated account representative who supports ongoing needs & can adjust strategy as needed
