Being the original in any business sector is an outstanding achievement and sets the bar which competitors then seek to reach. In the world of Proactive Video Monitoring Netwatch is a stand-out leader.
Netwatch combines the best technology in the industry with a team of people dedicated to customer service and the prevention of crime against the premises and sites it protects.
In 2003, when Netwatch was established in Carlow, there was no one else offering a proactive video monitoring service. Netwatch has spent almost two decades developing and enhancing its service and can confidently say they provide a superior service in their industry.
Netwatch revolutionised the Irish security market introducing the first ‘real time’ remote visual monitoring system that, unlike passive security cameras, allowed for interventions to take place as soon as the security perimeter was breached. This provides immediate, preventative, and cost-effective solutions for clients. It is now a world leader in proactive video monitoring with a stated mission ‘to create a fearless environment’ where clients can feel safe and secure in their business.
The Netwatch success has been achieved through a combination of factors. It has been driven not only by outstanding technology, but by the collective experience of a team of professional and enthusiastic people. This close-knit team collaborating internally, with customers and within the global security industry, has enabled the leading proactive video monitoring service provided today.
