Operators watching camera views at night
Answers

What is CCTV monitoring, and how is it different from CCTV that only records?

Trained people watch your cameras live. Ordinary CCTV only records, so you see what happened after it is too late. With monitoring, someone sees the problem while it is happening and acts.

  • People watch live
  • Someone acts at once
  • Not just recording
  • CCTV recordsYou see it afterwards

Two ways to use the same cameras

Recording, and monitoring

CCTV that only records

The cameras are on, but no one is looking at them. People look at the footage after something happens. By then it is too late.

CCTV with monitoring

Trained people watch your cameras live. Someone sees the problem while it is happening and acts.

When we see something

What our operators do

Check

The operator makes sure it is a real threat, not an animal, a shadow or rain.

Siren

A loud siren at your property tells the intruder they have been seen.

Warn

If the camera has a speaker, the operator talks to them.

Call you

We call you straight away and send you the clip.

Why recording is not enough

Three things that go wrong

No one watches at night

The cameras are on, but no one is looking at them.

Checked only after a theft

People look at the footage after something happens. By then it is too late.

Guards miss things

Guards get tired. Alerts are seen late. A broken camera can go unnoticed for days.
