The Advantages of Remote Security Monitoring

Even the earliest CCTV surveillance technology supported operators in their efforts to protect their business, employees, and property. These cameras stored video, allowing users to view suspicious activities at a later date. Fortunately, today’s remote security systems in Houston, TX, and the broader Texas area take a pre-emptive strike, allowing owners and managers to view actions as they occur and respond immediately.

Let’s take a look at today’s technology and the advantages of proactive remote security systems.

Business Security Monitoring 24/7 From Anywhere

With remote security solutions, you or a member of your team can monitor the security of your business from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. For example, did an employee leave the building without arming the security system or leave a door unlocked? Smart technology and remote viewing enable you to take care of the problem immediately, arming the alarm and locking the door from down the street or across the globe.

Intelligent Analytics

Predictive analytics allows business owners to take a proactive stance when securing and protecting their products and employees. After determining your exact needs, our expert certified security technicians will set up preset standards that monitor and detect unwanted activity.

Today’s cameras provide tilt, zoom, and pan functionality. High definition and facial recognition mean that intruders are easily spotted. Add night vision and thermal sensors, and there's no place they can hide. Should unusual activity occur, such as someone loitering on-site or a car parked in front after closing hours, you'll receive instant notifications. You’ll be able to take a look to see if it warrants further investigation and alert law enforcement accordingly.

Reduce Theft

Unfortunately, stealing also occurs from the inside, with employee theft costing U.S. businesses about $50 billion annually. Remote monitoring allows operators to keep employees safe and protects the business from less than honest workers. Just knowing that surveillance cameras are in operation and monitored remotely discourages criminal activity while increasing productivity. You may not be there 24/7, but they know that the camera is on and recording.

Our technicians can also set up the system so that you or your manager receive a notification when the business opens and when the last employee leaves.

Monitor Multiple Areas and Businesses

For operators with multiple locations, remote security enables them to monitor all sites in real-time from anywhere and with just one user interface. See every unit operating and after-hours from your laptop or smartphone. Are the profits at one location showing greater productivity? Employee’s work habits can change when owners are present. Remote monitoring allows you to view what takes place in your absence.

Monitor Additional Hazards

Our technicians will also help you determine what sensors are best suited for your business. For example, we'll install flood and humidity sensors if flooding or moisture build-up is an issue. Temperature sensors maintain a stable and comfortable climate for your employees and detect if equipment or machinery is overheating. And, of course, all businesses utilize fire and carbon monoxide sensors. With remote monitoring, you’ll be notified should any of these sensors detect abnormal changes.
