Prevent Crime Before it Happens with Proactive Video Monitoring

The Problem

Why Traditional Video and CCTV Monitoring Needs to Change

Traditional video and CCTV Monitoring services have long been the standard for after-hours security in most facilities and campuses. However, this legacy solution does have a number of shortfalls.

Cameras document crime rather than preventing it

Security officers cannot be everywhere and can be affected by fatigue or distractions

Perimeter fencing and other obstacles can be easily bypassed 

The Solution

CCTV Monitoring in Ireland Evolves: Enter Proactive Video Monitoring

The best way to stop a would-be criminal in their tracks is with proactive video monitoring (PVM) – an evolved form of CCTV Monitoring in Ireland.

Traditional video monitoring and standard CCTV Monitoring Services typically react to incidents in two ways. For crimes already in progress, monitoring personnel view and verify an action triggered by an alarm and alert authorities. After a crime has been discovered, monitoring companies provide recorded surveillance footage to help identify criminals, provide evidence for arrests, and protect owners from liability. While these are all valuable services, none of them can actually prevent crimes from occurring.

Proactive video monitoring is different. As the name says, it is proactive – meaning that action is taken in advance of an incident, not during or after it occurs.

How it Works

Geo-Diversity Ensures Continuity of CCTV Monitoring Service

One location is not enough to ensure continuity of service. In order to provide uninterrupted security to our clients we maintain two geo-diverse, monitoring hubs working in unison, each with the ability to take over the monitoring requirements of the other. We are fully redundant for emergency disaster recovery and backup, helping to ensure that there is no loss of service for our customers.

Our two monitoring centres are:

  • in separate locations
  • on a separate electrical grid
  • connected to separate networks
  • configured to allow for no single point of failure
  • using separate telecommunication systems

All of this gives our customers confidence in continued service during crises and is integral to an effective disaster recovery plan.

Our Approach

The Better Way to Monitor Your Facility and Premises

Proactive video monitoring is not like traditional monitoring. The intelligent detection solution provides a 24/7, 365-day security guard. This reduces the need for hiring security officers, while improving the user’s ability to monitor and respond to threats.

With PVM, it’s possible to intervene before the crime happens, and prevent it from occurring. This differs from traditional monitoring, which is reactive – it prompts no action to be taken until during or after the crime has taken place. This can have severe consequences for the business owner.

Ultimately, reactive video surveillance is not the best or most efficient way to reduce crime at your facility. Violence, vandalism, theft and other criminal activity can devastate you financially. Using video to create a record, or even to notify authorities of an incident in progress, is not good enough. Proactive video monitoring is the better way to protect yourself and your business.
