Interactive Video Monitoring
 A rapidly growing number of organizations, from retail to manufacturing, warehousing, high-tech, and many others, are turning to Interactive Video Monitoring (IVM) for a wide variety of security applications. Why? Because of the many unique advantages and proven return on investment that IVM offers.
While traditional Closed Circuit Television Monitoring systems are passive in nature, able only to watch as events unfold, IVM incorporates two-way audio communication, making it a highly effective and proactive method for enhancing security.

Interactive Video Monitoring Service - How it Works
Our Central Station monitoring facility is equipped with the latest state-of-the-art Interactive Video Monitoring equipment enabling our dispatchers to access real-time video images from the CCTV surveillance cameras installed at your place of business. IVM can be used in several ways.
When an activation signal is received from the alarm system at your facility, our Central Station dispatchers can use IVM to “verify” the situation. By utilizing the combination of live video and two-way audio communication, our dispatchers can directly intervene in any situation to avert losses and prevent possible disasters for your company and dispatch emergency responders.
IVM enables our dispatchers to gather information for law enforcement such as physical descriptions of subjects, the location of the event and the particular behavior of the perpetrators. This information is passed on to law enforcement ensuring a high priority response to your alarm activation.
Law enforcement agencies impose False Alarm Fees (typically $85 or more) when having to respond to a false alarm. IVM technology virtually eliminates fees for false alarms.
Monitor Your Company Anytime, Anywhere
 Interactive video monitoring (IVM) is one of the newest and most effective security measures available to business owners. Office, retail, warehouse - no matter what type of business you want to protect, IVM puts unparalleled surveillance techniques into your hands.
IVM is light-years beyond the technology found in traditional closed-circuit video monitoring systems. There are two main advantages to this new technology:
- IVM cameras can be accessed online via any Web-enabled device. View your company`s security cameras in real-time from your computer at home, on your PDA while on business or on your cell phone while you`re out to lunch.
- 2-way communication capabilities allow you to take action rather than passively sit back and watch events unfold.
