How does it work?

Camera trap technology

We set up camera trap technology that pairs movement detectors with high resolution CCTV cameras. When a detector goes into alarm, a camera associated with the detector can be viewed to see if the intrusion is genuine. When an operator in our Security Operations Centre sees an intruder on site, they can issue an audio challenge to the intruder using onsite speakers. With video verification of the event, the relevant authorities such as police, fire brigade or ambulance can be notified.

01

Detect

When a site is armed, the secVision system is ready to detect any unauthorised after hours activity. Alarm signals are sent straight from the CCTV cameras using analytics, or from the intruder alarm system, to the Security Operations Centre where the associated CCTV images are viewed.

02

Verify

Our Virtual Guards can be looking at the site within seconds of an incident. The relevant cameras are viewed by trained CCTV intervention specialists. Video verified activity can be acted on immediately to prevent crime from occurring before it happens.

03

Audio challenge

With the ability to deliver a voice down alert, we deter theft and warn trespassers off your site. Using on-site public address speakers, the Virtual Guards issue an audio challenge which alerts the intruder that the premises are secured, their activities are being recorded and the authorities have been notified.

04

Respond

The intervention specialist follows the response plan agreed with the client. Authorities prioritise video verified alarms higher than alarms that have not been verified. Our system eliminates false alarm phone calls disturbing the key holders unnecessarily.

  • No more false alarms. Any alarm activations are visually verified to ensure they are genuine.
  • A Virtual Guard is looking through the cameras within seconds of receiving the alarm.
  • Stop crime before it happens. Intruders are detected before they break in to the property.
  • Live audio intervention. The intruder can be challenged using on-site speakers to warn them that the authorities will be notified.
  • The Virtual Guard deals with the authorities until the incident has been resolved.
  • All incidents are documented and the relevant footage and images are stored as evidence for investigation.
  • Regular system health checks ensure the system is operational.
  • Save money by reducing on-site static guards.

Other services include

  • Managed access control for remote deliveries.
  • Proactive Virtual Guard tours.
  • Virtual escort for remote workers, who can speak to our guards on their phone while they walk to their cars to exit a site.
  • Lone worker protection.

secWatch high definition CCTV systems offer stunning images in crisp megapixel resolution. The complete solution allows you to view live images and replay footage from your desktop computer, tablet or smart phone. You can be anywhere with an internet connection and keep an eye on what is going on back at work.

The basic form of the system consists of the cameras, a network video recorder that the cameras plug into, and a viewing monitor connected to the recorder. The recorder allocates IP addresses to the cameras and powers them, so no independent power supplies are required.

The value we offer includes location risk assessment, camera selection, professional cabling and installation of equipment, IT services to get the images to appear on your desktop and mobile devices, training and maintenance. You can feel comfortable delegating this work to us so you can focus on your own business.

Frequently asked

secWatch, answered

Does secWatch work outdoors?

The secWatch system is made of cameras and other equipment that are waterproof. The system is ideal for an outdoor setting where crime can be stopped before the intruders enter the site.

What is visual verification?

Using the secWatch technology we can see when an alarm goes off whether there are intruders on site. As the alarm activates an image is presented to our operator and they can verify whether there is somebody on site or if it is an animal.

Do you provide alarm monitoring?

From our Security Operations Centre we offer a 24 hour back to base alarm monitoring service. We believe that including CCTV cameras in the system, and on-site speakers to warn intruders in real time, is a much more powerful solution.

Would a Virtual Guard replace our security guard?

On-site security guards are expensive. By combining the secCloud access control, intruder detection and building automation system with the secWatch Virtual Guard Service we can monitor your sites and manage all of the security functions from our Security Operations Centre.

What is a Virtual Guard?

From our Security Operations Centre we run a 24 hour service where we use the on-site CCTV cameras combined with the alarm system to monitor for intrusion. When an alarm is received we analyse the live stream to see what is happening.
