PIR and CCTV sensor-activated camera systems

Need alerting when a potential intruder is approaching your premises? This is where PIR beams sensors come in. We can set the sensor to alert you or your off-site security team of someone nearing your premises.

This is a crime and accident prevention measure, helping you keep your premises, staff, assets and visitors safe.

In addition to PIR beams, we can also work with sensor-activated monitored CCTV systems that will detect, and alert you to a change in temperature,  pressure, humidity and vibrations. As part of an integrated system, you can link the PIR sensor to your monitored intruder alarm.

Advanced detection & video analytics - reducing false alarms

Businesses and organisations operating sites in rural and remote locations are faced with a range of challenges. This includes poor lighting, environmental factors and more.

Thermal imaging CCTV cameras integrated with advanced video analytics can be used to help avoid unnecessary false alarms. Animals, insects and tree branches can activate the sensors. This can generate false alarms and can result in cameras becoming isolated by the alarm receiving centre.

Effective CCTV monitoring systems should be designed and deployed to recognise the difference between a cow, horse and a poetantial criminal.

How does it work?

24/7 off-site monitoring is simple. Here’s how it works:

  • Your CCTV system is installed in the usual way, providing full coverage of your premises
  • Each security camera is fitted with sensors that will alert the monitored CCTV system if the beams are crossed and the sensors triggered
  • Once triggered, the system sends an alert or alarm signal to your designated security professional at the 24/7 monitoring station
  • If the system is set up to provide audio intervention, your security professional can communicate with the intruder and warn them to leave and that the authorities or keyholder has been contacted
  • If not, upon viewing the footage, the security professional will contact the keyholder or the authorities depending on the scale of the threat

What are the benefits?

The benefits of Monitored CCTV are vast. They include:

  • Reducing the cost of security. A Remote 24/7 CCTV monitoring system can save a business up to 80% against the cost of employing an onsite security team.
  • Reducing the impact of human error and supporting on-site security. Many companies are now implementing surveillance camera monitoring to complement and support on-site security teams. Where are human presence is still required, technology can be used to improve security and detect more threats.
  • Audio intervention. Monitored CCTV systems can be designed to integrate an audio deterrent. If an intruder is spotted, your offsite team can communicate with and warn them.
  • Reassurance. All-round peace of mind knowing your site is being monitored 24/7

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is CCTV monitoring and how does it work?

    This advanced security solution helps businesses improve threat detection, and reduce security costs. Cameras are monitored remotely by an offsite accredited security team.

    Your surveillance cameras are fitted with sensors. When triggered, an alert is sent to an alarm receiving centre (ARC). Camera footage is reviewed and if a threat is spotted the relevant authorities are contacted. At Safeguard we work with an industry renowned service provide Arc Monitoring 

    You can have you cameras monitored 24/7 or for certain hours of the day – usually night time.

    The advantages of CCTV monitoring are vast. Typically this security solution costs far less than employing physical guards. Furthermore it combines technology and human intervention – a more effective security system all round.

    Threats can be detected and dealt with in real time. For businesses who can’t afford guards this is a fantastic benefit. For a very reasonable monthly fee you have a team of security operatives ready to tackle threats as they unfold.

    Furthermore, threat deterrent is another key advantage of CCTV monitoring. Systems can be designed to incorporate audio intervention. When a sensor is triggered you designated operative can communicate with the intruder to warn them they are being watched.

     

    The cost of a monitored CCTV system is three fold. Firstly you have the cost of the cameras, sensors, cabling and hardware. Secondly you have the installation costs. Lastly you have the cost of ongoing monitoring.

    Typically the costs of monitored CCTV (CCTV monitoring) are far less then deploying security guards.

    False alarms create challenges for operators of solar farms. Solar farms are usually in remote locations and wildlife is often left to graze around the site perimeter. Insects and other wildlife are often drawn to camera lenses and standard sensors.

    If your cameras trigger too many false alarms, a CCTV monitoring station will often isolate these cameras.

    What does that mean?

    The cameras will still work, but they won’t be monitored increasing the risk of criminals entering your site undetected.

    To reduce false alarms we recommend:

    • Deploying IR illuminators – these advanced detection solutions reduce the risk of insects triggering alarms
    • Integrate AI video analytics within your CCTV system – video analytics essentially help to spot the difference between an intruder, an animal or a falling branch from a tree

     

     

     

    Monitored CCTV is the same as CCTV monitoring.

    Is it also referred to as remote monitoring, security system monitoring, 24/7 offsite, surveillance camera monitoring, and remote CCTV monitoring.

    In tis industry the same thing is often referred to i different ways. For example CCTV cameras can be referred to as security cameras, devices, surveillance cameras and more.

    Yes, absolutely. A well designed system, coupled with a professional, accredited offsite team can certainly reduce and replace the reliance on using security guards. Typically two guards covering 24 hours of the day can cost £60,000 – £80,000 per year. The ongoing costs of CCTV monitoring are a fraction of that!

    Further to costs, CCTV monitoring systems can be set up to improve threat detection and crime deterrence. Advanced PTZ cameras, thermal CCTV cameras, audio intervention, and infra-red detection solutions can turn a standard system into a crime fighting asset. This can be achieved by reinvesting a fraction of the costs saved by reducing your reliance on guards.
