What is Remote Video Monitoring?
Remote Video monitoring is a proactive alternative to traditional video surveillance. At Valley Alarm, ValleyGuard is our exclusive video monitoring service.
By responding to motion-triggered videos of crimes in progress, remote video monitoring draws immediate attention to intrusions on a property and prompts immediate intervention.
Often, our remote guards are able to deter bad actors before a crime occurs.
How Does Remote Video Monitoring Verify Events?

Our remote video monitoring solution is equipped with artificial intelligence built directly into the design. It quickly distinguishes whether the motion being captured is a vehicle, animal, or person.
When the A.I. determines the object in question to be either a person or a vehicle, a remote guard at the monitoring center is notified for verification. From there, the remote guard knows to intervene as needed.
How Does Remote Video Monitoring Intervene?
The remote guard is a real person, a live security agent. Upon receiving the signal and viewing the video, the agent immediately intervenes by issuing a warning to the intruder through the voice speaker.
If the customer wants authorities called for all events, the agent will call the local police right away. Watch the example below.

Does Virtual Guard Monitoring Replace a Live Security Guard?
It can, but it doesn’t have to. Some customers invest in live video monitoring to replace their onsite security forces. Others opt to simply boost their onsite security staff with this remote video monitoring service.
They may have one security guard on site, with our video monitoring service watching various spots on the property. This enables the onsite guard to cover more ground with less manpower.

A good security plan has room for a live security guard and a virtual guard watching over the property. One example is an auto dealership with multiple lots.
Remote video monitoring can be set up for each lot, and the live security guard can respond to any events that trigger remote guard intervention.
How Much Does Remote Video Monitoring Cost?
It may not come as a surprise that California has some of the highest security guard prices in the nation. A security guard service can easily cost tens of thousands per month.
In many cases, remote video monitoring costs one-third of this. When you call Valley Alarm, we can provide a detailed estimate for our video monitoring service.
