Video Monitoring

Stop Crime Before It Happens

What is Real-Time Video Monitoring?

Live video monitoring is a proactive surveillance solution that blends AI analytics with human intervention. Instead of relying on motion-only alerts or reviewing footage after an incident, your cameras continuously analyze activity to identify genuine threats—trespassing, loitering, forced entry, vandalism, and more.

When a potential threat is detected, a trained monitoring agent reviews the live video feed in real time and takes appropriate action, from activating sirens and speakers to notifying police or alerting your management team.

This approach delivers real security protection—not just recordings of what went wrong.

Video Monitoring Helps Prevent:

Break-ins

Operators will receive access to live footage before intruders have the opportunity to break in and can scare them with live talk down or dispatch police.

How Video Monitoring Works

Video monitoring adds an extra layer of security by having trained human operators actively review live video events as they happen. When suspicious or illicit activity is detected, operators can respond immediately by delivering a live audio warning, notifying the business owner, or dispatching authorities immediately. This proactive approach helps prevent incidents before they escalate.

Step 1

Threat Detection

The CCTV security cameras monitoring your home or business stream instantly to a cloud-based AI that detects potential threats immediately. That threat is handed off to a live human operator to who monitors the video in real-time.

Step 2

Human Verification

The human operator will observe the event in real-time and make a determination on how to respond. If there is no crime in progress, the operator will close the event. If the operator witnesses a crime in progress, they move to next steps.

Step 3

Immediate Response

If suspicious or illicit activity is witnessed, the operator will take immediate action either by using live talk-down to issue audio commands to the intruder, notifying the business owner, or immediately dispatching the authorities.

Powerful Analytics Triggered Events

Real-time video monitoring relies on intelligent video analytics. Our advanced camera analytics provide smart detection, real-time alerts, and valuable insights — which detects unwanted intruders on your property before they can commit a crime.
  • Cloud-based AI utilizes advanced analytics to differentiate between a person, a vehicle, or an animal.
  • Analytics events can be set to occur on a schedule; for example after hours when your business is closed.
  • When an analytics event is triggered, the live video is broadcast to a central station operator who will monitor the video in real-time for illicit activity and threats.
  • If the operator determines there is a threat, live talk-down can be initiated to speak to the intruder in real-time to prevent the crime from occurring.
  • Alternatively, the operator can dispatch the authorities to the scene to apprehend the intruder.
