Better security with live monitoring
Many surveillance systems use event monitoring; these systems rely on agents being assigned after alarms are triggered or motion is detected on a camera. Unfortunately because of the assignment procedures, it takes too long to get eyes on your business. With live video monitoring, your business is monitored by a real person to help prevent crimes before they occur.
Live monitoring results in faster response times from authorities and are up to 60% less expensive than the cost of security guards. There are no hidden costs, and you never have to deal with the hassle of hiring guards or the high turnover rates.
If you have an existing surveillance system, we are able to set up live monitoring in most situations with little to no additional equipment. Our monitoring is compatible with most cameras including analog, digital, or even IP camera systems. We understand that there are places at your business that you may worry about more than others, and our live monitoring operators are trained to pay special care to the areas you worry about most. Our operators care about your employees too, providing “virtual escorts” where they ensure your employees make it to their cars at the end of the shift without issue.
We’re watching long before anything happens, every day, 7 days a week. It’s our business to take care of your business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Live video monitoring involves trained security professionals actively watching your camera feeds in real time. When suspicious activity is detected, operators can assess the situation, issue warnings, and contact authorities immediately, helping prevent incidents before they escalate.
Traditional CCTV systems record footage for later review, while live video monitoring provides real-time oversight. This allows for faster response times, proactive crime prevention, and improved overall security compared to passive surveillance alone.
Live security monitoring is especially valuable for commercial and industrial businesses with large properties, valuable assets, or limited after-hours staffing. Industries such as construction, manufacturing, automotive dealerships, and distribution facilities often benefit from 24/7 live monitoring, as it helps deter theft, reduce vandalism, and provide real-time response when issues arise. Any business looking to strengthen security, improve response times, and protect employees and assets can benefit from a professionally monitored system.
