Supporting security guards with technology: visual verification alarm system

Improve service quality, cut costs, and retain staff by incorporating a visual verification alarm system into your security setup.


Visual verification alarm systems detect threats using sensors, such as PIR motion detectors, microwave barriers, and radar systems. When a threat is detected, an alarm image or video is taken. This image is used to verify the alarm and determine further action.

How does a visual verification alarm system benefit security guard companies?

1. Improve the service

React instantly

Avoid financial and reputational damage by minimising the response time to all threats. 

  • All key areas are continuously monitored by the cameras, and a threat in any area will be detected instantly
  • Detailed alerts are delivered in seconds, including a verbal description and an image, allowing you to make quick judgements on how to respond
  • Intruders to monitored areas are detected with near-perfect accuracy: the sensors and AI can not be fooled by common tactics like hiding
  • AI analyses the alarm images and eliminates alerts where a threat is not detected: for example, the sensor was triggered by vegetation

Use analytics to improve your services

A visual verification alarm system collects data, such as alarm locations, days, and times, collating and analysing this information to uncover patterns. This allows you to proactively address potential vulnerabilities and allocate resources more efficiently. 

2. Cut costs

The initial investment in security technology, like visual verification alarm systems, can be significant. However, our clients see substantial cost savings in the long run. 

Cover a larger area with the same team

Utilising a visual verification alarm system eliminates your dependence on security guards for monitoring and physical patrols. This means you can allocate staff only to complex tasks and monitor, manage, and respond to alarms. Having your security team located centrally could also shorten the response time for many alarms. 

Mitigate financial and legal risks and save costs on insurance

Advanced monitoring and predictive analytics help decrease response times and improve detection accuracy. This reduces and prevents financial losses caused by theft and vandalism. 

High-quality footage of the crime will help to prosecute the criminals and obtain financial compensation. The images or video from your visual verification alarm cameras can be used for post-incident investigations or legal purposes. 

3. Attract and retain staff

Improve security guard safety

A visual verification alarm system will give your staff detailed information about the threat. The security guards will have real-time information about the intruders’ location and actions and general on-site conditions, allowing them to be well-prepared for the response. 

Advanced analytics also allow you to predict when threats and intrusions are more likely, allowing you to schedule more staff. 

Reduce the need for advanced training 

Visual verification alarm systems can be configured and monitored centrally. This allows for centralised operational decisions, reducing the need for advanced security guard training.
