At Another Dimension, we have identified a growing trend of petty theft and break-ins at commercial lots, which cut profits and put both staff and equipment at risk.
We believe security cameras can be a powerful tool to fight crime if used correctly. Cameras are more than a reactive tool; they should be your first line of defence.
The disadvantages of regular CCTV footage:
A regular CCTV system installed with the purpose of recording footage is not a proactive solution to crime on your business premises. These systems enable you to rewatch an event after the damage or theft has taken place. There is no real-time alert provided when trespassers are on your property. While footage of the perpetrator may confirm their point of exit or entry, it rarely assists in persecuting the suspect once they’ve fled the scene of a crime.
As part of our cost-effective security solution – Another Dimension offers CCTV installation and monitoring services, along with intelligent cameral analytics, to identify trespassers before you experience theft or damage on your property.
What is offsite monitoring?
Offsite monitoring provides you with an eye on your property 24/7. It combines technology with human intelligence and involves the sending of live video footage to a control room offsite that’s run by a trained external company.
Depending on the budget and unique needs of each client, our team will recommend cameras that make use of artificial intelligence that can pick up on any unusual activity. According to the programmed settings, alerts will go off, alarming the security team in the control room and directing them to the correct camera that triggered the alert. The security team can then take the appropriate action based on the footage, whether it be contacting security guards on site, emergency responders, or remotely deactivating an alarm that went off accidentally.
What are the benefits of offsite monitoring with Another Dimension?
1. Overcome limitations:
The use of onsite security guards has its limitations that come, simply with being human. They cannot cover every inch of a property at once and are limited in what they can see. Remote monitoring can act as the “eyes” of these security guards, watching areas that are inaccessible and providing alerts to those on the ground.
2. Cost-effective:
Using offsite monitoring to assist onsite guards can reduce the need for additional guards. Where new camera equipment is required, we offer a financed solution, requiring no capital outlay.
3. Not a minute missed:
The remote control room is continually monitored by multiple trained security professionals throughout the day and night. Where lone security guards may get weary during late night shifts, our team, assisted with intelligent alerts, ensure your property is closely watched for potential threats.
Conclusion
Making use of a 24/7 offsite monitoring service, on top of your regular CCTV system, is guaranteed to add an additional layer of security to your commercial property, saving you money in damages or theft and keeping your people safe.
