Video Verified Alarms
Video Verification of burglar alarms is being used to add value to residential and commercial security systems. Video verified alarms are monitored by central stations who receive a video clip of an event associated with an alarm signaling. These alarms add value by:
- Automatically setting a higher priority response by law enforcement.
- Faster response times that often result in more apprehensions
- Helps reduce false alarms
Priority Law Enforcement Response
The primary value of video verified alarms is higher priority response by law enforcement. When the operator at a central station can confirm that they visually see a person on the premises, police give the dispatch higher priority than a standard alarm signal. This faster response often results in more apprehensions.
Compared to Surveillance
The goal of video verified alarms is fundamentally different from video surveillance. Video verification's goal is simply to verify if there is a person present - Detect and Notify. In contrast, the video surveillance often provides remote real time viewing and continuous recording/streaming to a DVR that is most often used for later review and identification.
