Monitoring remote sites

Eyes on site even where a permanent guard would never pay off.

Being far away does not make a site any safer.

For a substation, a materials depot, a seasonal yard or an out-of-town warehouse, permanent manned guarding rarely pays for itself – yet the risk is just as real.

In practice such places are usually left to themselves: there are cameras but nobody watches them, there is an alarm but by the time anyone arrives it is long over. A remote site does not need less attention, only a different kind.

Monitoring remote sites

  1. 01

    We assess what the location allows

    Power, internet, lighting and access determine which technology will actually work there.

  2. 02

    We deploy virtual guarding

    Cameras on entries and exits, virtual lines along the fence and, where needed, a mobile camera tower.

  3. 03

    The control room watches, not the site

    Events arrive at the monitoring centre, where an operator verifies them live and decides what to do.

  4. 04

    Dispatch when required

    On a genuine alarm a response unit is sent out, and a written record is made on site.

What does the service include?

  • On-site assessment and coverage plan
  • Camera system or mobile camera tower installation
  • Virtual lines and zone monitoring configuration
  • 24/7 or scheduled operator monitoring
  • Response unit in case of an alarm
  • Monthly event summary for the client

What can you expect?

Coverage without guard headcount

The site is watched even when nobody is there.

Faster reaction

An operator is already looking at the picture as the event happens – you do not find out the next morning.

Many sites, one system

Every location handled in the same interface and to the same standard.

Frequently asked questions

01 How can a site with nobody on it be guarded?

With cameras, video analytics and a remote operator: the system alerts, the control room verifies, and a response unit is dispatched if needed. Human presence then only costs money when it is genuinely required.

02 What about places with no internet?

It can be solved with a mobile network connection and local storage. At low bandwidth the analytics runs on site, and only the event itself is sent to the control room.

03 Can several sites be handled together?

Yes, and this is where the saving is largest: shared monitoring and shared reporting are considerably cheaper than maintaining a separate service at each site.
