Alarm video verification
By enhancing response time, Alarm video verification can be a valuable security asset to protect your organization.
Alarm video verification vs Remote Video Monitoring
Considered a more basic option than remote video monitoring, it offers a competitive pricing structure and constitutes the ideal fit for many businesses.
How it works?
Alarm video verification requires the strategic positioning of a few cameras and speakers (optional) within your business location. The cameras are directly linked to Sirix’s remote video monitoring centre, allowing the operator to see what is occurring on the premises in real time.
When an intrusion alarm is triggered, the operator can quickly assess the situation and follow the set procedures in an orderly manner.
The authorities can respond more quickly using this approach as it becomes a validated alarm. In the event of a false alarm, this technique eliminates the need for an on-site examination by a guard or the police.
More and more cities no longer respond to intrusion alarms when they are not video verified.
Two key actions are taken by the operator:
Voice talk down
The operator addresses the intruder directly via the speakers (optional). This operation has often proven to be enough to deter crimes and stop offenders before any harm is done.
Contacting police authorities
When vocal intervention is unsuccessful or unavailable, the operator immediately contacts law enforcement. Aware that a crime is in progress, the police treats the information as a priority.
Alarm video verification – Step-by-step
Step 1
A specific event (motion detector, door contact, glass break, water flood, etc.) triggers the alarm system.
Step 2
The alarm monitoring centre is notified of triggered alarm.
Step 3
An operator at the remote video monitoring centre, to which the cameras and speakers are connected, verifies what is happening on the business’s premises.
Step 4
The operator does a vocal intervention. In most cases, the robbery is stopped and the intruder leaves. No crime is perpetrated.
Step 5
If the vocal intervention turns out unsuccessful, the authorities are readily notified, and the police is dispatch to the site.
Step 1
A specific event (motion detector, door contact, glass break, water flood, etc.) triggers the alarm system.
Step 2
The alarm monitoring centre is notified of triggered alarm.
Step 3
An operator at the remote video monitoring centre opens the cameras and verifies what is happening on the business’s premises.
Step 4
The operator does a vocal intervention. In most cases, the crime is prevented and the intruder leaves.
Step 5
If the vocal intervention turns out unsuccessful, the authorities are readily notified, and the police is dispatch to the site in priority as a “crime in progress” event.
