Video Verification to Enhance Alarm Services: A New Era in Security
Today, security has become more important than ever. From our homes to our workplaces, we need to take various security measures to feel safe. At this point, the innovations that video verification technology brings to alarm services further enhance our security. In this blog post, we will explore how video verification improves alarm services.
Instant Visual Verification
Traditional alarm systems were limited to simply sounding sirens or sending an alert to the security company when an alarm was triggered. But video verification allows you to see what is happening in real time by recording video at the time of the event. This allows you to quickly assess whether the alarm is a real threat.
For example, when an alarm is triggered, video verification cameras record the location of the event and send the recordings to the security center or the user's smartphone. By watching these videos, the user can have more information to weed out false alarms and respond quickly to real threats.
Reducing the Number of False Alarms
Video verification plays a big role in reducing the number of false alarms. Traditional alarm systems can be triggered using equipment such as motion sensors or door/window opening sensors. However, such sensors can sometimes give false alarms due to wind, animals or other external factors.
Video verification minimizes the number of false alarms because it evaluates alarms based on visual and audio data only. In this way, security guards and users can focus more on real threats and reduce the loss of time and resources due to false alarms.
Remote Monitoring and Access
Video verification also offers remote monitoring and access. Users can monitor video verification cameras from any device (phone, tablet, computer). This gives them the ability to monitor and control their home or business anytime and from anywhere. At the same time, security guards can be better prepared by reviewing video recordings before they arrive at the scene.
