Improve your business security with 24/7 video monitoring centers and video analytics software. Reduce false alarms and respond to threats in real-time.
Why Remote Video Monitoring is More Effective than Traditional Surveillance
Decades ago, the introduction of the pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) camera revolutionized the commercial video surveillance landscape. Business owners and managers could monitor their properties to deter trespassing, vandalism, and theft—but this reactive method required hours of review of recorded video surveillance footage or constant monitoring by a security guard to prove useful in the event of a security threat or incident.
Today, business can partner with a remote video monitoring center and leverage their existing technology to enable real-time detection, threat deterrence, and faster emergency response—without the expense of on-site security guards. This means that organizations can return to doing what matters most—managing their day-to-day business.
How Video Monitoring Centers Work
A video monitoring center provides a proactive, technology-driven approach to security, ensuring faster response times and enhanced protection without the high cost of on-site security guards. Unlike traditional security measures that rely on passive surveillance or delayed responses, a video monitoring center operates 24/7 with trained agents ready to react in real-time.
- Once a threat is detected, the monitoring center immediately verifies the event, reducing false alarms and ensuring that only genuine security concerns trigger a response.
- Audio warnings, sirens, and lighting controls can be triggered remotely to deter intruders before they act.
- With recorded footage and automated incident reporting, businesses can ensure compliance with security regulations and maintain detailed records for legal or insurance purposes.
Key Benefits of Video Monitoring for Businesses
Alongside video monitoring agents, video monitoring analytics software can also work to enhance security and further reduce false alarms – using existing cameras in a facility to bolster their effectiveness. This may include:
- Reduction of false alarms by up to 98%, resulting in a far more efficient response during a security event and making more effective use of the time and efforts made by law enforcement, local dispatch, first responders, and monitoring agents.
- Minimization of nuisance activity using analytics and motion detection designed to filter out and remove irrelevant events or data from video feeds to focus resources on legitimate security events.
- Cost-effectiveness and solution longevity by identifying a tech-forward solution that eliminates the need to invest in costly analytic cameras, making it an effective choice for organizations looking to improve their security and surveillance program without replacing their existing infrastructure.
Build a Smarter Business Security System
With video monitoring centers and video analytics solutions working in tandem, businesses can employ a nearly real-time response to security incidents. This approach can effectively reduce risk to an organization’s most valuable asset – its people – and serve as the foundation for a critically robust, responsive security program.
