Video Verification Services

Automated analytics of images from your video surveillance system or a security sensor from your intrusion detection system will trigger an alarm signal with video clip to our monitoring center. Our security professionals review the information and video to verify that an event is taking place, and will take action based on your response plan (which may include contacting law enforcement for police dispatch or you directly with a situation update). 

Video verification makes your security systems more effective. Advanced analytics combined with the knowledge of our agents greatly simplifies managing of false alarms while helping you get faster response to real events. False alarms not only cause inconvenience for you and potential false alarm fines, they also waste limited law enforcement resources. An alarm that’s verified by security professionals is often prioritized for quicker police response – and that could make the difference between experiencing a loss and preventing an incident. 

The person needing access to your location contacts our Monitoring Center, and shows their credentials that authorize their entry according to your designated procedures. Once verified, our operator then opens the gate or door, and can follow the visitor on camera if needed. 

Remote access services enable you to securely and conveniently provide access to a location without having to have a person on site. This could be during after-hours or at locations with low traffic where in-person guarding is not warranted. A remote agent can verify credentials following your procedures, open the door or gate, and even monitor the visit via video if needed. 

Remote Tours and Remote Guarding are services where a Securitas Technology monitoring agent initiates a remote video session on a designated schedule, or monitors continuously during a defined period to look for unusual conditions or suspicious activity. If anything happens, they will take action following your response plan.  

Safe Escort is a service where a Securitas Technology monitoring agent, on request, watches over someone in potentially dangerous situations using fixed video cameras. The agent follows that person until they are in a safe location.  

Safe Guard is a service where a Securitas Technology monitoring agent, on request, uses fixed video cameras to observe movement of a person to help avoid a threatening situation from escalating in a lone-worker situation. Response can include warning that the site is being watched.
