What is remote monitoring of CCTV?

​

Remote CCTV monitoring is a cost-effective security solution that helps to protect your business, commercial property or home from criminal and environmental damage and is the first line of defence.

​

Your CCTV system will be connected to a remote monitoring station via the Internet.

​

This connection can be live 24/7 or only armed at times when your site is unattended.

​

When the system is armed, if a external motion detector is triggered, an alarm is sent to the remote monitoring station with footage from the corresponding camera.

​

The operators then investigates the cause of the alarm by viewing the footage, if the site has pan/tilt and zoom cameras, they will be used to look around the site. The operators can also view multiple cameras to view the site from different angles – a crucial step in ensuring intruders cannot hide in any blind spots.

​

If there is an intruder at your site a live audio warning will swiftly be issued:

​

“Your attention please, this is a security announcement. You are being monitored and recorded on live CCTV. This is private property. Leave now, or the police will be called.”

​

In the majority of cases, an audio warning will deter intruders from your site.

​

If the operator has witnessed suspicions activity then the emergency services will be called to take action, a nominated key holder will also be informed of what has occurred.
