What Is Proactive Video Monitoring?

You already know about CCTVs and video surveillance, but what is proactive video monitoring? Let’s begin with CCTV.

In the old days, just a decade or two ago, property security relied heavily on physical security guards scanning a large number of screens. As you can imagine, the security personnel miss a lot. Guards on their night shift are even more prone to missing signs of trouble.

Then came motion sensing technology. This development helped security guards by triggering alarms or notifications when it detected movement. There is a drawback though. There are many false alarms caused by blowing leaves, insects, birds, changes in lighting, and even inclement weather.

Enter: artificial intelligence and smart video monitoring. This technology leverages object detection and classification to significantly reduce the number of false alarms and alarm fatigue. Our proactive video monitoring allows guards to focus on actual threats rather than waste time triaging and combing through false alarms.

What Is a Virtual Guard?

Artificial intelligence is great but so is the development in communications technology. Sure, calling someone on the other side of the world was impressive at the time, but now we enjoy live video footage as well. This technology has brought about many opportunities, especially in the field of property security.

Gone are the days of risking a physical security guard’s life in the name of protecting property. Sadly, security guards suffer dozens of deaths and thousands of injuries every year. We believe this loss of life and injury to bodies is needless. Virtual guards can get the job done just as effectively without putting lives in danger.

A virtual guard is precisely what you might guess it is. Our trained intervention specialists utilize proactive video monitoring, two-way audio, and communication technology to keep your property safe – all in the safety of a remote office. When the technology or virtual guard detects unusual activity on the premises, the guard uses two-way audio to intervene. The guard assists authorized individuals and directs trespassers to leave the property immediately. Stubborn criminals are reported to local law enforcement immediately and the property owner is notified as well. We are proud to say we have prevented over 65,000 property crimes worldwide.
