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.

ArcEye Property Defense has been exceptional for the years we have been a customer. They are just super people to work with and always explain everything in layman terms.  They are Johnny on the spot with any problems. To bad more companies should replicate the way they operate with there customer base. They certainly have my business.

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.

What Is Reactive Video Monitoring?

When you think of a surveillance or security system, you probably think of the traditional reactive video monitoring. This system includes a variety of components such as cameras, lighting, sensors, and alarms.

When the sensors detect an intruder on your property, the alarms go off. Then, the system may send you a notification and alert monitoring center agents if you have signed up for the service. From there, either you or the agent will report the incident to the police. Finally, depending on the priority level of the call, the police will be dispatched to your property.

As you can imagine, the criminal will have entered and left your property by the time the police arrive. This is when the camera footage comes into play. You will likely skim through the recording, but what if the criminal is masked? Hopefully you will have luck with the property insurance claim.

What Is Proactive Video Monitoring?

Proactive video monitoring includes all of the components of a traditional security system and more. In addition to the sensors, alarms, videos, and lighting, there are virtual guards and two-way audio intercom. These combine to stop the criminal before they enter the property. Here’s how it works.

Our proprietary technology uses artificial intelligence to monitor and analyze video footage. It filters false alarms such as falling leaves, animals, and authorized individuals. If it detects a trespasser, then the virtual guard is notified immediately. Within seconds, the guard will engage with the criminal using two-way audio to get the trespasser off the property. The warnings will be accompanied by alarms and sirens.

Most of the time, this is enough to deter the criminal and make them flee. If not, the guard will dispatch police to your property as soon as possible while remaining engaged with the intruder. This is how ArcEye Property Defense has helped prevent over 65,000 crimes worldwide.

You Are Part of the Team

At ArcEye Property Defense, we take care of the busy work but we keep you in the loop too. You will be able to monitor video footage with a user-friendly smartphone application and control how you receive notifications and alerts. Our virtual guard will also communicate with you in the case of an incident.
