Had some upgrades made to my virtual guard system. As always with ArcEye, great, fast customer service. The technician who installed the system was friendly but all business - got it done pretty fast, then patiently explained the features and helped me set up the app for remote control of the system. Would highly recommend ArcEye Property Defense to anyone who needs a commercial proactive video monitoring service.

I have relied on ArcEye for my security needs for years now. I have yet to meet an employee who was anything but friendly, respectful and competent. That’s rare these days! I have property security protection, along with cameras now. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Owned an older ArcEye system that needed to be updated and moved to a new location. From the POS to installation everything went VERY well. The technician Austin went over and above to the system was moved to our newly needed location. He was maliciously clean in his work and was very patient with our questions. I highly recommend ArcEye Property Defense.

Aspects of Video Security Systems

A video security system is a network of cameras, sensors, and software that captures and records the visual information from a given environment. The system then processes this data and makes it available to end users through various channels, such as on-premises monitors or mobile devices.

How Does Proactive Video Monitoring Work?

Traditional surveillance systems are reactive, meaning they only offer information to businesses and law enforcement after a crime has been committed. While this can help identify suspects and catch criminals, companies don't always succeed in recouping costs or avoiding violent confrontations. In contrast, proactive video surveillance utilizes advanced intelligence built into the system. It has the capability to actively detect unusual behavior or motions and can then alert the virtual guards who are standing by. Often, the owner, manager, or local police can be contacted at the first sign of trouble and stop the criminal before they finish the job.

The Benefits of Using Modern Security Systems

The benefits of using advanced video security systems for your business are numerous. Here are just a few reasons why companies of all sizes are choosing to make the switch:

  • Lower Cost - Hiring full-time security personnel can be very expensive. Proactive monitoring offers top-of-the-line protection against theft, vandalism, and violent assaults, for a fraction of the cost of training and maintaining a large staff.
  • Lower Risk and Reduce Liability - If a contract worker or employee confronts a suspect during a crime, there is an increased risk of injury and liability. If a problem arises at your premises, a virtual guard will alert the authorities, who will take care of the dangerous situation instead of your staff.
  • Reduced False Alarms - With static surveillance systems, false alarms were common. Sensitive motion detectors could often alert police due to movement from a stray cat or strong wind. Our advanced intelligence will recognize false alarms so you can avoid unnecessary problems.
  • Better Response Times - Most criminals choose to attack at night when a property is closed, and there are fewer witnesses. If a break-in occurred after hours, owners were often left in shock when they returned to the premises the following morning. Conventional systems might help police find the criminal, but they wouldn't stop the crime. Proactive systems will alert authorities on your behalf as suspicious activity is detected in real-time. In many cases, police will arrive on the scene while the suspect is still engaging in the act.

Are You Ready to Upgrade Your Security System?

Have your old-fashioned security cameras failed your businesses one too many times? If you're looking for a comprehensive system that will protect your property and keep you informed about what's happening in real time, we encourage you to reach out to the team at ArcEye Property Defense. Our experienced specialists will work together to create a customized plan that will fit perfectly with your unique needs and budget.
