Live operator surveillance
Operators continuously observe live views during agreed monitoring hours. Human assessment helps identify visible threats without an alarm and reduce unnecessary escalation of harmless activity.
Continuous CCTV monitoring from our advanced control room
We continuously watch live commercial CCTV during agreed monitoring hours — not only after an alarm activates. Operators assess visible threats, including activity that has not triggered a detector, while saved footage supports emergencies and incident review.
Daily audit reporting
Daily records bring together site activity, camera checks, incidents and operator remarks for authorised client review.
Footage and incident evidence
Saved CCTV footage supports emergency review and incident reconstruction. Recording coverage, retention, authorised access and preservation arrangements are agreed for your site.

Plan the coverage. Agree the response. Preserve the evidence.
Review camera coverage
Assess entrances, perimeter routes, valuable assets and changing work areas. Check lighting and obstructed views, and revisit camera positions as your site changes.
Set a clear response plan
Agree monitoring hours, authorised activity, escalation contacts and actions for suspicious behaviour or equipment faults. Keep contact details and site instructions current.
Agree recording and review
Set appropriate footage retention and authorised access, and agree how relevant recordings are preserved after an incident. Use activity reports and equipment checks to guide follow-up.
Frequently asked questions
- How is continuous monitoring different from alarm-triggered CCTV?
- Alarm-triggered services typically review a camera view after an activation. Our operators continuously observe live CCTV during agreed coverage, so visible suspicious activity can be identified even without a detector alert. No system can guarantee every threat will be seen or every false alarm prevented.
- Is footage saved for emergencies?
- Yes. CCTV footage is saved for emergency and incident review. Your survey establishes recording coverage, retention, authorised access and how relevant footage is preserved after an incident.
- What does remote CCTV monitoring include?
- Continuous live observation from our advanced control room during agreed monitoring hours, assessment of visible suspicious activity, saved CCTV footage, incident records and site-specific escalation. Alarms and available analytics support operators rather than being the only trigger for viewing.
- How fast is your response time?
- Response arrangements are agreed for each site. Operators record incidents and actions so authorised users can review what happened and when.
- Can you monitor our existing CCTV system?
- In most cases yes. Our engineers survey your recorders and cameras, confirm compatibility and connect them to our monitoring platform without replacing hardware.
- Do we get reports?
- Yes. Authorised client users can review daily activity reports, incident records and tower online/offline reports in the portal.
