24-hour monitoring

When something happens, we respond

Whether you are at home, on holiday or on the other side of the country, trained operators watch your system every hour of every day.

  1. Detected. Cameras, detectors or alarms pick up someone on the property.
  2. Verified. An operator checks the live images straight away. If it is an animal, the weather or a delivery, it stops there.
  3. Challenged. A live voice warning, with lights and sirens, tells the intruder they have been seen.
  4. Escalated. Police, you and your key holders are called, in the order you agreed.
  5. Recorded. Footage is secured to support any police investigation.

Accredited monitoring, every hour of every day

What we monitor, and who watches

What we monitor

  • Cameras. Motion and AI person or vehicle alerts from home and business CCTV, checked on live images by an operator.
  • Alarms. Intruder, panic and tamper alarms, linked to your cameras so every activation can be seen and checked.
  • Temporary units. Solar-powered pods, towers and wireless detectors on building sites, events and empty property. Temporary CCTV

Who watches your system

  • Intruder alarms and hard-wired CCTV. Monitored around the clock by an accredited monitoring station.
  • Temporary towers and pods. Monitored by the Remote Video Receiving Centre of our equipment partner, VPS UK Ltd, certified to BS 8418.
  • One point of contact. We design the system, agree the response plan with you and stay your contact throughout.

Agreed in advance, in writing

Your response plan

So nobody is guessing at three in the morning. Every monitored system has a written response plan, agreed with you at handover and kept up to date.

Escalation order

Who is called, in what order, and when the police are called straight away.

Site instructions

Gate codes, dogs, safe rooms, contractors and anything else an operator needs to know.

Contact details

Kept current, with a way for you to change them quickly.

Keyholding and response

Where the site needs someone to attend, keyholding and mobile response can be arranged.

What monitoring does, and does not, promise

Monitoring checks every alert, challenges intruders and escalates in the order you agreed. It does not guarantee that the police will attend, because that is decided by the force. A verified alert, clear footage and a written plan give them the best reason to.

Your choice, system by system

Self-monitored or monitored 24/7

Both are done properly. They suit different people.

Self-monitored

Alerts go to your phone and you decide what to do. It suits a flat, a rented home or a small premises, and there is no monitoring contract.

  • Person and vehicle alerts to the app
  • Live and recorded images, anywhere
  • Set up and handed over properly by us

Monitored 24/7

Trained operators check every alert and respond for you, day and night. It suits larger homes, high-profile clients, businesses and any site that is empty out of hours.

  • Every activation verified on live images
  • Live voice challenge, lights and sirens
  • Escalation in your agreed order

Either way

Looked after

Remote health checks on every camera and a yearly maintenance visit.

Cyber secure

No default passwords, encrypted access, firmware kept up to date.

Questions

Who watches the cameras?

Trained operators at an accredited monitoring station, every hour of every day. They check each alert on live images and follow the written response plan we agree with you. Temporary towers and pods are monitored by VPS UK Ltd.

Will the police always attend?

No monitoring service can promise that, because attendance is decided by the force. What we do is verify the alert, challenge the intruder, escalate in your agreed order and secure the footage, which gives the police the best reason to attend and the best evidence afterwards.

What if you cannot reach me?

We work down the escalation order you agreed, and call the police where your plan says to. That is why the plan is written down with you, rather than left to an operator to decide.

Do I have to be monitored?

No. The home camera kits and the wireless alarm are self-monitored through the app, with no contract, and professional monitoring is optional. It is included in the Essential, Enhanced and Elite levels of protection.

How much does monitoring cost?

Monitoring is priced per system, depending on the number of cameras and alarms and the level of response. We confirm the price in the proposal, before you commit to anything.

Seen. Secured. Sorted.
