Silent Guardian Security has provided businesses with the best customized security systems for more than two decades. Now, our innovative solutions include proactive video monitoring (PVM) — a security solution that uses artificial intelligence to instantly identify and quickly defuse threats to your business.
What Is Proactive Video Monitoring?
PVM uses intelligent video analytics to identify potential threats so trained specialists can intervene and protect your business. The result is a security system that detects and deters crime before it happens.
Like other forms of video surveillance, PVM starts with IP cameras that transmit a live feed of your business and its surroundings. PVM’s breakthrough is the addition of artificial intelligence (AI). PVM systems do more than passively record what they see. IP cameras are the eyes of an AI program trained to analyze what it sees and differentiate harmless behavior from potential criminal activity. These eyes never blink, providing truly continuous surveillance.
How Does Proactive Video Monitoring Work?
Proactive Video Monitoring offers protection that seamlessly combines difference-making technology with good, old-fashioned human judgment and initiative. This solution will:
Detect suspicious activity: When an AI-assisted camera picks up a potential threat, it alerts our UL-certified monitoring center instantly.
Assess and verify the threat: A security specialist in the monitoring center will examine the live video feed, confirm whether the threat is ongoing and decide what action to take.
Warn the perpetrators: The security specialist will issue warnings through speakers installed outside your business — hearing real humans announce that they’ve been detected often makes thieves and vandals drop what they’re doing.
Notify the authorities: The security specialist will continue monitoring the situation for as long as necessary, and if appropriate, they will contact the police and any emergency contacts you identify for notifications during these incidents.
Generate a report: Within 24 hours of an incident, you’ll get a detailed report, including images, that you can use for insurance and other purposes.
National UL-Certified Monitoring Center
Our monitoring station has been approved and monitored by UL. This is an enormous qualification since being UL Listed is the golden standard. This means that the particular service or equipment has been tested and sealed for safety and reliability. Below are the some key points:
- Fastest industry response times – Two-ring commitment
- Elite recruitment and training processes
- Two US-based, fully redundant UL monitoring stations
- Part of an elite group: UL 827B Managed Video Services
Why Choose Proactive Video Monitoring Over Traditional Video Surveillance or On-Site Security?
Traditional options like closed-circuit television (CCTV) and on-site guards can be useful, but PVM has the competitive edge.
On-site security can be an effective deterrent and allows for an immediate response. Even the best security guards need breaks and can only be in one place at a time. With PVM, your surveillance cameras are watching everywhere, all the time. Plus, you can save a significant amount of money compared to the cost of a guard service.
Traditional video surveillance has its place, but PVM does what passive video surveillance can’t by intervening to stop theft or vandalism before it can damage your business.
What Are the Advantages of Proactive Video Monitoring?
PVM’s results speak for themselves. The combination of AI monitoring and immediate audio warnings is highly effective at identifying and responding to threats, with an overwhelming majority of intruders fleeing immediately. PVM’s sophisticated technology and security specialists work together to reduce false alarms and safely address issues like trespassing and loitering.
