Monitored video
Your cameras record. Ours call for help.
Most cameras only show you what happened after it's over. Monitored video puts a live person on your cameras so someone acts while it's happening — usually with the cameras you already own.

Frequently asked questions
Can you monitor the cameras I already have?
Usually, yes. We work with UniFi Protect, Uniview and most professional recorders. We'll check your cameras first and tell you if anything needs to change.
How is this different from the alerts on my phone?
Phone alerts depend on you seeing them — at 2 AM, on vacation, in a meeting. With monitored video a trained person looks at the video, decides if it's real, and calls you and the police with what they actually see.
What is talk-down?
An outdoor speaker lets a live operator speak to people on your property: "You in the gray jacket by the loading dock, you are being recorded and police are on the way." Most people leave right away.
Does verified video get a faster police response?
Many police departments give higher priority to an alarm when an operator has seen a person on video, because it's a confirmed crime in progress, not a possible false alarm. Policies vary by town.
What does Camera Health Watch do?
Cameras and recorders fail quietly — a power supply dies, a hard drive fills up, someone unplugs a switch. We get an alert when a camera or recorder goes offline and call you, so you don't find out the day you need the footage.
