Benefits of Remote Video Monitoring for Surveillance Cameras

Installing Mobile Video Surveillance Cameras at your parking lots will provide a strong visual deterrent to criminals and allow for the investigation of any incidents.

But when remote video monitoring services back a surveillance camera, a camera becomes a virtual security guard - always awake, always on guard, and always protecting your parking lots.

LotGuard's team of security experts below outline the numerous benefits of remote video monitoring.

What is Remote Video Monitoring

Before we detail the specific benefits of remote video monitoring, it's worth defining exactly what we mean by that term.

Every LotGuard Mobile Surveillance Unit delivers live and recorded video via 4G LTE. The video can be accessed at any time, from anywhere, with any connected device. 

When a camera is being 'remotely monitored', the video stream from the unit is transmitted directly to our Interactive Surveillance Operations Center (ISOC), where a team of security professionals will receive an alarm or alert from your site, immediately review the footage to verify the alarm and then take appropriate action.

This action will include capturing as much video evidence of the activity that is occurring and challenging any criminal activity through audio alerts, live voice down functionality, and even the dispatching of guards or local law enforcement.

Typically, these alarms are generated via Video Analytics - intelligent rule-based surveillance algorithms built into LotGaurd cameras that detect movement at your properties.

The Key Benefits of Remote Monitoring

• Immediate crime prevention: With remote monitoring, potential threats at your parking lots or property will be spotted and addressed as they occur

• Real-time response: If criminal activity is detected at your parking lots, our partner ISOC will raise an alert to Law Enforcement or security patrols, who will respond and catch the offenders in the act

• Cost-effective: LotGaurd units, even when backed by remote monitoring, are up to 87% cheaper than the cost of a security guard

• No compromise on quality: Those cost savings don't equate to a less-effective solution. A monitored LotGuard surveillance unit is always awake, always on guard, and can spot criminals even in total darkness 

• Video evidence for investigation: Our professional surveillance camera operators can track every move a criminal makes, gathering critical evidence that will assist with Law Enforcement investigations 

• Incident Reporting: Our LotGuard support team will provide you with a customized report of any incidents that take place at your locations, and give details on what action was taken - including speed of response

• Alarms, sirens and voice-down activation: If criminal activity is detected at your lot, our remote operators will activate the LotGuard unit's built-in blue lights, sirens, and voice-down systems. These are a proven deterrent to criminal activity

• Reduced false alarms: Having your LotGuard monitored by professionals means they can detect things on site that may trigger false alarms, and also filter these out entirely for you

• Expertise: Our partner ISOC is managed by a team of ex-military, police and law enforcement professionals who provide 24/7/365 vigilance when it comes to protecting your parking lots

• Convenience: Rather than worry about late night call outs, reviewing your footage over the weekends and holidays - why not leave it to the experts and have complete peace of mind that your parking lots and properties are safer in the hands of professionals?
