If an intruder is detected on your CCTV system out of business hours, who will be notified? Too many businesses depend on passers-by to raise the alarm should a break in or vandalism occur. By the time this happens, if it happens at all, the intruders may well have already taken valuables and caused damage to your site. That’s where our CCTV monitoring service steps in.
BusinessWatch offers a complete CCTV monitoring service to ensure your business is constantly protected and give you peace of mind. Your CCTV system will be professionally monitored through our own in-house Alarm Receiving Centre, by our team of highly trained Monitoring Centre Operatives.
Our in-house Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) prides itself on providing a superior service compared to other remote monitoring companies. We ensure you receive a fully transparent, honest service with detailed reports delivered directly to you for every single activation detected. Our ARC is fully NSI Gold accredited and operates to BS5979 category II standards.
The benefits you’ll receive when you have your CCTV system monitored by us are many. They include:
Protecting your site with remote CCTV monitoring is an investment for your business. If your security system detects an intrusion, here is what will happen step-by-step.
1. Your security system is activated.
2. The signal from your security system is received by our Alarm Receiving Centre and sent to our control room.
3. If the system is activated within your site’s normal working hours in an area where there should be no activity, our Monitoring Centre Operatives will contact your site to check if the activation is a false alarm or not.
4. If the system is activated outside of your site’s working hours, our CCTV Monitoring Centre Operatives will check live CCTV footage to verify an intruder. They will then initiate a police response immediately, perform an audio challenge, and contact your nominated keyholder.
When you sign up for our remote monitoring service, we will select the best solution suited for your CCTV system and premises. To ensure coverage at all times, we will always select a dual-path monitoring device. This device uses a combination of IP, GPRS and LTE paths to transmit activation signals. This means that if the security system activation signal can’t be transmitted via one means, it’s backed up by another which significantly increases the likelihood of the activation signal being responded to.
With these statistics, not having your CCTV system monitored, especially out of hours, is a risk to your business, your site, your customer base and your ability to continue trading should a break in or arson attack occur. Using a fully accredited CCTV monitoring service will assure you 24 hours a day, 365 days per year that when the alarm is activated, it will be acted upon.
