Monitoring

More than simply recording.

Higher-risk sites can be connected to a professional monitoring workflow with verified events and escalation to your nominated contacts.

1

Detect

Analytics flag a human or vehicle inside a defined zone.

2

Verify

An operator reviews the footage before anything escalates.

3

Challenge

Audio warning over the tower speaker moves most intruders on.

4

Escalate

Keyholder, response or police, with footage attached.

Event-led monitoring

Operators respond to meaningful activity.

Intelligent analytics can generate person, vehicle, intrusion or other configured events. A monitoring operator then verifies the event and follows the agreed site procedure.

  • Event verification
  • Audio challenge where installed
  • Keyholder notification
  • Escalation procedures agreed per site
  • Health and connectivity monitoring options

Common questions

Monitoring FAQs.

Is monitoring included with every tower?

No. Every tower ships with smart local recording and remote access as standard. 24/7 professional monitoring is an optional upgrade, added per site.

What happens when the tower detects something?

Analytics flag a human or vehicle in a defined zone, a monitoring operator verifies the footage, an audio challenge can be issued over the tower speaker, and the event escalates to your nominated keyholder, a response partner, or police with footage attached.

Does monitoring reduce false alarms?

Yes. Events are verified by a human operator against real footage before anything escalates, rather than triggering on any raw motion alarm.
