    • VIDEO ALARM VERIFICATION & HOW DOES IT WORK?

    Video alarm verification pairs your security system with an alarm monitoring center. In the event an alarm is triggered, live operators at the monitoring center can view security camera footage to see what activated the alarm and can then contact local authorities, confirm the emergency, and even provide authorities with critical information from the scene. This enables a quicker, more accurate emergency response. Alarm verification services are essential to ensuring a prompt police response, as many police departments now only respond to verified alarms. Video alarm verification can add an extra layer of security to your home or business, helping to protect you, your property, and your belongings.

    Video verification ties your burglar alarm, fire alarm, and security camera system to the monitoring center. Say an intruder breaks in through the front door when you aren’t home. The burglar alarm will activate, sending an alarm signal to the monitoring center. But what if, at that moment, you are unsure if it’s just a false alarm caused by the family pet walking too close to a motion sensor? With video verification, live operators at a monitoring center will quickly check your security camera footage to determine the cause of the alarm and may contact you directly to verify the situation. The moment they confirm the emergency, they will contact local authorities and describe the situation in detail using the security camera feed. The video verification process is the same if your fire alarm goes off.

    Here’s a breakdown of the video verification process:

    Step 1: The alarm is activated.
    Step 2: The monitoring center and alarm owner are notified.
    Step 3: The monitoring center views the security camera footage and attempts to verify the emergency with the home or business owner.
    Step 4: The monitoring center contacts police dispatch, verifying the emergency, and explaining the situation. .

    Video alarm verification is especially helpful in preventing false alarm dispatches. Burglar alarm systems are one of the most effective burglary deterrents. However, unreliable burglar alarm systems can significantly strain police resources—and even cost system owners money in fines and penalties. Poor performing alarm equipment, combined with human error (in particular, unfamiliarity with how to use the burglar alarm system), can actually outweigh the benefits that come with owning a security system.

    Adding video alarm verification is another layer of security, and it works in conjunction with your integrated security system. Alarm operators at monitoring center work quickly to verify your alarm and dispatch law enforcement if required..
