Regardless of the size or location, remotely monitored CCTV can improve the safety of your premises and prove to be an effective business security investment.
 

What is Remotely Monitored CCTV?

CCTV with remote monitoring is a form of video security, in which footage of an area is observed by an off-site team. It is often used in Commercial Security to protect property and business assets, and can reinforce other safety measures. Whenever the cameras are active, your CCTV system is carefully monitored by a surveillance team using video analytics software.
 

The Benefits of Remote Video Monitoring

The top benefits of installing one of our monitored video surveillance systems include:

• Detect more threats: Remotely monitored CCTV systems can limit criminal activity on your premises. This mainly down to the fact that a surveillance team can identify more threats as their visibility of the property is increased.
• More cost-effective: Utilising remote video monitoring can be cost-effective when compared to expenditure made for on-site teams and other safety measures. As your business and assets are still watched 24/7 with a remote system, it can save you money whilst ensuring your security is uncompromised.
• Prevents & deters: The presence of any CCTV system can deter a significant number of would-be criminals. This means that locations with remotely monitored CCTV are less likely to see threats emerge in the first place, thus preventing risks to safety.
• Faster responses: Of course, no security system can prevent all crime. But, monitored video surveillance allows for a faster response time than traditional security measures, as off-site teams can safely react to any danger as soon as it emerges. This increases the likelihood of catching criminals and protecting your assets.
  
   

Cloud-Based Video Surveillance

Cloud-based video surveillance is emerging as a game-changer, offering a multitude of additional benefits for businesses.

Key advantages of a cloud-based remote surveillance system include:

• Accessibility: Cloud-based video surveillance allows business owners and security personnel to access live feeds and recorded footage from anywhere with an internet connection, in real-time. 
• Scalability: Unlike traditional CCTV systems that require significant hardware investments for expansion, cloud-based solutions offer scalability with ease. You can effortlessly add or remove cameras as your business grows or changes, without the hassle of extensive installations or upgrades.
• Enhanced security features: Cloud-based platforms often come equipped with advanced security features such as motion detection, object recognition, and alert notifications. These intelligent functionalities enable proactive monitoring and swift response to potential threats or incidents. You can learn more about Deep Learning AI and security here.
• Reliability and redundancy: Cloud-based video surveillance systems offer redundancy and backup capabilities, ensuring that footage is securely stored and accessible even in the event of hardware failure or physical damage to onsite equipment.
• Compliance and data protection: With stringent regulations such as GDPR in place, businesses must prioritise data protection and compliance. Cloud-based video surveillance offers built-in encryption and secure data storage, helping businesses adhere to regulatory requirements.
   

By leveraging the power of the cloud, businesses can stay ahead of security challenges and safeguard their assets even more effectively.
