What is CCTV remote monitoring and how does it work?

A simple and helpful guide from the experts at Midlands-CCTV.co.uk

Many homeowners and businesses now use CCTV to act as a strong visual deterrent against possible intruders and to record any incidents if they occur.

For most homeowners, a high quality CCTV security system is enough but for those in business, a remote monitoring service, which runs alongside your CCTV system, will provide additional security and protection for your premises.

Remote CCTV monitoring is like having an on-site security guard working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week but at a much cheaper cost to your business.

How does it work?

Your business CCTV security system will be connected to a remote monitoring station of your choice, via an internet connection. You can choose whether to live monitor 24/7, or only switch it on when the premises is left empty.

If any suspicious activity is picked up via your CCTV system, the remote monitoring station will be sent an alarm.

The operator will respond to the alarm and images from your CCTV cameras will appear on their monitoring screen.

The operator will be able to pan, tilt and zoom in on the images to identify why the alarm was raised and can then act accordingly, notifying the key holder and emergency services if required.

A live audio warning may be played out on your premsises, letting the intruders know they’ve been spotted, which in most cases is enough to deter them from attemping any criminal activity, usually fleeing quickly before the emergency services arrive on site.

Remote monitoring could help save your business thousands of pounds in potential losses.
