Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Monitored CCTV doesn't mean someone watches screens 24/7. Instead, detectors linked to the CCTV system send a signal to our monitoring station when activity is detected. Our team then remotely view the cameras to verify what's happening and respond accordingly.
