Why Remote Monitoring is Quickly Replacing CCTV Alarm Monitoring

As you know, technology is developing at rapid, jaw-dropping rates. That technology undeniably affects the property security industry, and businesses like ArcEye Property Defense take advantage of being at the cutting edge of industry standards, capabilities, and technology. In this quick articles, we’ll go over some reasons why remote monitoring is rising in popularity and making CCTV alarm monitoring a thing of the past.

Video Surveillance and Two-way Audio Communication

A CCTV system is cool, but it’s nowhere near as cool as the latest technology. Sadly, the best of the best is expensive. Still, it is an investment that ArcEye Property Defense is prepared to make so that you don’t have to. Our video surveillance, for instance, is integrated with proactive video monitoring technology which monitors the footage real-time. Artificial intelligence will help filter out false alarms and false positives. Two heads are better than one, right?

When the system detects unusual activity, it will alert the virtual guard. The virtual guard makes the moves. They have the option to initiate two-way audio and communicate with visitors. The guard can authorize and assist authorized individuals and refuse uninvited guests. Stubborn ones will be firmly warned to evacuate the property or face the consequences. Most of the time, trespassers flee the scene when they hear the intercom warning!

Protect Lives and Reduce Liability

If a criminal is defying the audio warning, then what more will a physical guard be able to do? Put their life on the line? Sadly, thousands of guards suffer injuries – and dozens die every year. There is no good reason for this severe risk of life. Virtual guards offer similar levels of property protection and crime deterrence as physical guards, except there are no boots on the ground. Leave the law enforcement to the authorities. That’s less liability for the business owner, less risk for the guards, and the same property protection.

Crime Deterrence and Prosecution

Worried about the real bad guys? Our combat does not end with audio warnings. ArcEye Property Defense uses real-time communication systems to keep in touch with local law enforcement. Trespassing is a serious crime, and we treat it so. If the criminal does not heed warnings, then we call up local authorities as soon as possible. A crew should arrive to the property in due time. We think that beats a shoot-out between minimally trained security guards and some criminals any day of the year. Oh – the footage is going to keep running, by the way. These records are going to be valuable in the worst-case scenarios. ArcEye Property Defense treats property crimes seriously.

Remote Storage

What do you do if criminals enter your property, get through security, and take off with your things – including the video footage? Remote monitoring offers remote storage, so you can rest assured knowing you have proof when walking into the insurance agent’s office. ArcEye Property Defense is committed to protecting your property through and through.
