CCTV remote monitoring

Have someone monitor your site, all the time, with remote CCTV monitoring

Imagine if you had a trained CCTV operator watching your entire site around the clock? There are many benefits to installing remote CCTV monitoring across your site.

Remote CCTV monitoring means fewer manned guards

We've seen the cost of remote CCTV monitoring offset against the savings made by employing fewer manned guards within the first year, and saving up to 80% over 5 years.

Speak-to-site remote monitoring systems warn off intruders

CCTV operators can focus on zones of interest, and if they detect an intruder or unwanted behaviour, with a speak-to-site audio system they can be a significant deterrant before a crime actually takes place.

Only call the police to 'real' incidents

Because a trained CCTV operator is continually monitoring your premises, they know how to distinguish between a real incident and a glitch. The ability to verify unauthorised activity means the police are only called to genuine incidents instead of the 'blind' events generated by standard intruder alarm systems. Read about remote monitoring legislation.

Remote monitoring can also be used for access control and building management

Remote building management is also possible, with the operator able to control access via gates and barriers and monitor the whole security system.

If you're intersted in remote CCTV monitoring, or upgrading elements of your existing access control, CCTV or intruder alarm system to enable remote monitoring, contact your nearest Chris Lewis Fire & Security office.
