Video monitoring and verification delivers visual alarm detection
Today, there’s one camera for every five people in the U.S. in commercial security operations, but it’s a positive move and not “Big Brother”, as George Orwell predicted in 1984. Video monitoring and verification provides a higher level of visual identification and authentication of what’s happening at your customer’s business or facility so both you and the user can stay on top of authorized and unauthorized activity.
At Business Improvement Technologies, video surveillance and verification also helps our professional operators and dispatchers deliver an elevated level of security monitoring services. With their trained expertise, and high-resolution video, operators and dispatchers can better assess the reason for an intrusion signal – whether a false alarm caused by a user who forgot their code, an environmental disturbance or an actual incident at the protected premises, so they can provide the right follow-up action.
How video verification works
With video verification, BIT operators receive an alarm signal and a clip or stream of a video event in progress streamed to their computer. They can see who is at the protected premises and if it’s a real alarm in progress. If it is an alarm, they now have the ability to gather visual information for police, such as what the perpetrator is wearing or if they are armed, giving authorities better data.
With video, operators deliver a deeper, more informed response – calling the user and sending a text message with a clip of the event directly to the end-user’s smartphone for viewing or immediately dispatching police or fire personnel. They can also send video clips directly to responding authorities who may mandate verification of an event prior to dispatch – referred to as video verification. For cities, towns and municipalities with hefty false alarm fines or protocols for no response without verification, video takes the uncertainty out of the process and eliminates unnecessary and costly dispatches. With professional services from BIT, you can continue to boost your profitability with additional recurring monthly revenue while customers gain confidence in your security operations.
Business Improvement Technologies delivers the best service and most professional monitoring at a price point that gives you substantial wiggle room for mark up. We are in business to serve dealers and your needs come first. Contact BIT today to get started with the latest video monitoring and verification services
