From Setup to 24/7 Protection in Five Clear Steps
Whether you already have functional CCTV hardware or need a brand new bespoke installation, here is exactly what happens when you partner with us.
Site Audit & Camera System Connection
We review your site layout, entry points, high-risk assets, and blind spots. If you already have existing IP cameras, NVRs, or DVRs (Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Hanwha, Uniview, etc.), we securely connect via RTSP/ONVIF or VPN without requiring you to replace your existing investment. If you need new hardware, we specify high-definition cameras with night vision and optical zoom.
Virtual Tripwires & AI Edge Analytics
We configure custom smart zones, virtual tripwires, vehicle loitering detection, and direction-sensitive boundaries across your feeds. Advanced object classification isolates humans and vehicles while actively filtering out spiders, swaying trees, headlights, and rain. This eliminates 99% of false alerts and ensures operators give 100% focus to real security events.
Continuous 24/7 Monitoring by SIA-Licensed Operators
The moment a tripwire or movement threshold is crossed, the relevant camera angle and pre-alarm recording pop up instantaneously on our operator monitoring wall. Our certified security operators assess the situation in real time, track the target across multiple camera views, and verify whether it is an authorized staff member or an intruder.
Live Audio Talk-Down & Active Deterrence
Instead of simply watching a burglary take place, our operators use high-output on-site IP speakers to deliver an authoritative live verbal warning directly to the intruders. An announcement such as “Attention: You are trespassing on private property monitored live by security. Police have been notified; leave the area immediately” stops criminal acts in over 90% of incidents.
Emergency Police Escalation, Keyholders & Reports
If the trespasser does not immediately retreat, we immediately dispatch your designated mobile keyholders and contact the police with visual confirmation of a crime in progress. Because our alerts are visually confirmed by an operator, emergency services treat the call as high priority. A comprehensive digital incident report with timestamped video is emailed to you.

Technical & Operational FAQ
Everything you need to know about setting up and operating live CCTV monitoring.
Do I need to replace my existing CCTV cameras?
In most cases, no. Our monitoring platform connects to standard IP cameras and NVRs from leading brands including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Hanwha Techwin, Uniview, Bosch, and any ONVIF/RTSP compliant system. We perform a quick remote connection audit to confirm compatibility before you commit.
What happens if our site internet connection goes down?
We offer enterprise 4G/5G dual-SIM cellular failover routers. If your primary broadband drops, the connection automatically cuts over to mobile data within seconds so your cameras remain online. Our system also runs continuous heartbeat pings; if a camera goes offline or is disconnected, an immediate tamper alert is sent to our operators.
How do operators distinguish between authorised staff and trespassers?
We establish tailored Operating Protocols for your site. You can arm and disarm the system on a fixed schedule (e.g., automatically armed from 6 PM to 7 AM on weekdays, and 24 hours on weekends), or use phone apps / RFID access fobs. Authorized out-of-hours personnel can also check in with our monitoring station via a secure PIN code or direct intercom call.
How fast is the live audio talk-down intervention?
When an intruder crosses an active perimeter line, the alert is sent to our operators within 2 seconds. The operator reviews the live camera view and issues a customized verbal challenge via on-site IP speakers within 15 to 30 seconds of detection, before entry into the building or theft can take place.
Can I still view my own cameras on my phone?
Yes! You and your authorized managers retain full access via iOS, Android, and web browser applications to check live video feeds, search past footage, and view system health status whenever you wish, without interfering with the live monitoring station.
