Remote Monitoring Services

Remote monitoring services are offered by security firms whereby they monitor images from CCTV cameras for suspicious activity.  This process takes place in the core of their operation, the remote visual response centre. Here Geo Vision monitoring software allows employees to keep track of up to 800 different camera feeds for various clients.

The purpose of a remote monitoring service is to detect suspicious activity or intruders whereupon an alarm will be raised and if necessary, the police contacted. Quick detection and response by the security company can reduce the loss or damage of property significantly and software such as Geo Vision only serves to improve response times.

As an additional benefit, security firms often have a procedure in place where CCTV footage is automatically recorded once an alarm has been raised. If the perpetrator is caught and charged the CCTV images can be used as evidence in court.
