Remote guarding

Remote guarding is a proactive security system combining CCTV video cameras, video analytics, alarms, monitoring centers and security agents. Potential threats are first spotted by cameras and analyzed in real-time by software algorithms based on predefined criteria. Once an event has been identified by the software, a security officer located in a remote center is then alerted to analyze the threat and take appropriate action immediately to prevent or minimize damage from occurring. These actions can include a verbal warning to the perpetrator via two-way radio from the center or reporting the event to local law enforcement.

Remote guarding adds a layer of human verification to automated security systems that results in reducing false alarms to almost 0% by having trained agents review each alert before taking action. This service along with changes to how the alarm industry handles alarms, such as second call verification, continue to reduce the false alarm burden on local law enforcement.
