Monitored CCTV Systems

Staff can take appropriate action to respond to suspicious activity. Monitoring staff can activate alarms, communicate directly with intruders and notify the police and keyholders.

As well as deterring potential criminals, monitored CCTV ensures a rapid response to limit the potential implications of any intrusion or wrongdoing. All CCTV systems supplied by Absolute Security can be connected remotely to our engineering team via the cloud for an immediate response.

Things you might not have known about the latest monitored CCTV Systems:

• High definition images now come as standard. Grainy, fuzzy images are a thing of the past. 
• CCTV cameras work in a range of light levels for effective footage at day and night.
• You can set the parameters under which alarms are raised – for instance movement at night may be due to a delivery or intruders. Remote monitoring will use your guidance to inform their actions.
• Monitored CCTV can be connected to your intruder alarm system and be used to arm and disarm the CCTV system.
• Discreet camera sizes look less imposing yet still capture high quality images.
• Images recorded by your cameras can be stored and retrieved for potential evidence.
• CCTV systems can act as an alert if they detect unusual events such as movement in or around your property.

Commercial Monitored CCTV Systems

Monitored CCTV provides the reassurance of extra security for businesses of any size. It’s especially useful in situations where employing security staff is unrealistic such as in small retail outlets or in vehicles. 

Monitored CCTV systems for businesses are at their most effective when integrated with other systems such as police alerts, intruder alarms and property entry systems. They can also be monitored and analysed for greater effectiveness.

If you are using monitored CCTV in a business or public environment, you must comply with data protection legislation. Absolute Security can give you advice and training on the implications of this for your business.

Public Sector CCTV Monitoring

Public sector organisations can find the cost-effective nature of monitored CCTV to be especially attractive. In an organisation where every penny is scrutinised, having remotely monitored CCTV may mean significant ongoing savings in comparison to hiring on-site security personnel. Even with the cost of installation and commissioning, the ongoing cost of monitored CCTV can be considerably less than employing security guards. In addition, you reduce the impact of staff sickness, unexpected absence and guard fatigue.

Monitored CCTV can do more than simply look out for potential criminal activity. Your remote CCTV service can carry out scheduled security ‘tours’, quickly respond to alarms to assess whether they are real or false and even use video analytics to conduct perimeter tours. 

Using monitored CCTV in a public environment means you must comply with data protection legislation. Absolute Security are fully versed in the data protection laws and can make sure you are fully aware of your obligations.

Monitored CCTV Systems for the Home

Monitored CCTV is becoming increasingly relevant to homeowners. More than just a visual deterrent to intruders, monitored CCTV provides complete peace of mind. It’s like having a dedicated security guard, watching over your home, possessions, family members and pets. Monitored CCTV has a wide variety of uses such as:

• ensuring elderly relatives are safe and well in their homes
• monitoring service providers such as housekeepers, care workers and nannies
• monitoring all visitors to your property for example deliveries, guests, family members
• giving children and pets freedom to play outside while monitoring their safety
• ensuring the integrity of other security systems such as perimeter security.

Should the staff monitoring your CCTV notice a trigger event, they can warn off intruders, call the police and notify you or your nominated keyholder.

Having external home CCTV systems means you must comply with data protection laws. We can advise and support you about what you need to do here.

Integrated CCTV Monitoring Systems

Your monitored CCTV system will work hardest when integrated with other security measures, such as intruder alarms, entry systems and fire systems. It also means that you have just one central security system for you to manage. We will integrate your new monitored CCTV system with any existing security arrangements for complete peace of mind
