Continuous monitoring by guards

Improve threat detection and reach the best site protection with a 24/7 Continuous CCTV camera monitoring service. 

Continuous monitoring services are often used together with Event-based monitoring services as a perfect supplement if the monitored area is exposed to continuous traffic and motion to a large extent. This service is a perfect solution if you want to keep the property under full security coverage especially suspicious activity detection and crime prevention.

Whether you’re looking to improve the effectiveness of your business security, substantially reduce the cost of physical guards, or if alarm monitoring does not provide enough security coverage to satisfy your needs, our 24/7 Continuous CCTV camera monitoring is the perfect solution. 24/7 Continuous CCTV camera monitoring gives constant protection of your property.

We see everything that happens on your property and act according to a pre-agreed protocol at the first sign of anything suspicious. This solution is similar to having manned guards on site, but our solution covers everything – meaning no blind spots or unattended areas – to ensure your safety to the fullest.

Our live camera monitoring security solution concept is built on the lessons that we had learned in the property development and property management business where we first experienced the limits of traditional security services.

Swissguard’s live remote monitoring security solution combines the benefits of device- and Event-based CCTV alarm monitoring and on-site guarding services. The combination means: security guards are employed but instead of being physically on-site, they use CCTV cameras as their eyes on the property. We at Swissguard call this off-site guarding service, which simply means watching cameras live.

Our watch officers watch the live feeds of CCTV cameras 24/7 for clients. The cameras are connected via IP addresses to our monitoring software. It is very important to underline that the camera feeds are watched in real-time and live, and they are always on. In case an officer sees something suspicious on a feed, a manual alarm is raised and forwarded to the supervisor whose task is to assess the alarm and either verify or decline. In case the alarm is verified, it is forwarded to our local Alarm Receiving Center partners who act in accordance with the particular client protocol.
There are 3 layers of this alarm path: event detection, verification, and action, ensuring the highest level of security efficiency and the lowest level of false alarms.

24/7 Continuous CCTV monitoring opens the door to having your security cameras watched remotely by a team of professional monitoring agents 24/7. In many cases, businesses can save up to 50-60% on the cost of employing physical guards through a constantly watched CCTV system.
Typically, businesses operating sites with large perimeters and significant assets to protect, invest in Continuous CCTV monitoring to spot and deal with security threats such as organized theft and trespassing.

Swissguard’s continuous and live monitoring service ensures that security guards are watching the actual site or object live via cameras, leaving no blind spots or unattended areas. They continuously watch the live feeds. Our off-site guards monitor up to 32 live feeds for 45 mins each and then rotate as per their rota. This means another guard takes over before the previous guard leaves their position. This way, every guard gets to recover and rest their eyes before resuming their shifts. No spot is left unattended even if only for the shortest amount of time.

Boca Raton Private Property

CASE STUDY

OVERVIEW: Waterfront property with street and waterfront access

PAST: 1 security guard from 6pm to 6am and 6 cameras with motion sensor-based alarm triggering

CONCERNS: Unreliable guards – sleeping in the night, 2 intrusions happened in the last 2 years when the on-site guard was in front of the property, sleeping. Additionally, in spite of being a private property, human traffic in and around the building has been high and generating many false alarms which are costly and disturbing.

SOLUTION: Replace the security guard on-site. Install 4 more cameras – a total of 10 CCTV cameras. 24/7 continuous monitoring of all 10 cameras providing comprehensive coverage – with special attention to the waterfront.
