How does Video Alarm Monitoring Work?

CHeKT’s Intelligent Visual Security System provides proactive video alerting to customers and 24/7 video command centers.  The system links security, access control, video analytics, and video surveillance systems together to create a comprehensive visual alarm system.  When a critical event occurs, an alert is immediately sent to the video command center to view the protected location.  Providing a video command center instant access to see and responds to an alarm is the difference between apprehending a criminal and just reviewing footage of the crime the next day.  Video Alarm Monitoring is initiated at the command center when a site is in active mode, controlled by a schedule or the customer arming the site.  When an alarm occurs, agents have instant access to video to visually verify what caused the alarm.

PRIMARY BENEFITS

Professional Visual Verification

Over 90% of the time, when an alarm is triggered, it’s due to events that have nothing to do with crime. It could be an animal, a new employee, an unexpected family member, or even weather-related. With CHeKT alarm monitoring center agents use a combination of live video footage and event-based video, which allows them to see video leading up to the alarm triggering incident, and video immediately after to make an informed decision on what’s happening. They have access to seeing what caused the alarm to occur in under 5 seconds.  During this process, they will review additional live footage coming from associated cameras on the site, giving the agents more context, decreasing the likelihood of a false alarm dispatch.

Rather than a customer putting their own safety at risk to investigate the disturbance at a home or business, monitoring center gents carefully do so remotely by reviewing all the necessary video footage. This allows for an accurate assessment of what happened and determine if a law enforcement presence is necessary. What this means is that 90% of the time, customers won’t be disturbed or have to unnecessarily worry when there’s truly no cause for concern. It also means police won’t be dispatched to a  home or business unless there is an observed crime in progress.

When there’s a need for clarification on the proper response of an alarm or if a detected event poses a threat, the decision is not left to chance.  Monitoring agents will send the video event to the customer to assist in deciding whether or not there is a cause for concern. Visual Alarm Monitoring keeps homes and businesses secure and allows agents and customers to make informed and collaborative decisions that wouldn’t be possible with a traditional security system.

When a crime in progress is observed, this is considered a high-threat alarm. Because CHeKT’s visual alarm monitoring is so fast and accurate, when an agent contacts local emergency services, they are doing so with a verified dispatch. Locations with a verified dispatch from visual alarm monitoring receive a priority response from the police, which maximizes the chances of stopping theft and property damage and apprehending the criminals.

Even though our agents are remote, the visual alarm monitoring solution brings them right to the scene of the crime, giving them an up-close look at exactly what’s happening on a property in real-time. Once the CHeKT video monitoring portal is initiated for an agent, in addition to video access, agents also have control over lights and sirens. They can issue audible warnings to intruders, letting them know they are being viewed, recorded and law enforcement is on the way. This is sometimes enough to deter criminals from theft or property damage. When the police arrive on the scene, agents can communicate with the responding officers and guide them to the intruder’s location.

When a response is not enough to deter criminals, video footage of the event is shared with you and local law enforcement. This means if theft occurs, CHeKT maximizes your chances of recovering stolen goods, apprehending the criminals, and preventing future theft.

You can use CHeKT in conjunction with your current security system, or you can get a brand-new system installed with visual alarm monitoring. The CHeKT video monitoring interface is not proprietary, meaning that it will work with thousands of video system brands on the market.

CHeKT’s visual alarm detection enables a monitored response using alarm traditional sensors or cameras with analytics. We understand that different locations will likely be better suited to one over the other. For example, traditional sensors are inexpensive and stable and work well in inclement weather conditions. However, they can take more time to install in exterior areas and they lack the intelligence to define detection areas or object classification.

On the other hand, the installation process for cameras with video analytics is labor efficient, and they offer defined area detection and object classification. However, they are expensive, may have a shorter life cycle, and may be sensitive to weather conditions and contaminants.

Regardless of what detection method is right for you, CHeKT ensures that monitoring center agents can access the event detection in real-time and engage the customer and first responders in the decision-making process.
