How monitoring works

Detect. Verify. Respond.

Old-fashioned monitoring puts a person in front of forty screens and hopes. We don't. Every camera we monitor is alert-driven: the technology flags the event, an operator checks it, and the response plan you agreed with us runs.

  1. Detect

    Analytics on your cameras flag movement where there shouldn't be any: a compound after hours, a scaffold at 2am, a fire door that should be shut. The event lands on an operator's screen with the clip attached.

  2. Verify

    A person looks at live footage and decides what it is. Intruder, late delivery, or a fox. No guesswork and no automatic call-outs for things that don't need one.

  3. Respond

    A live audio warning through your site speakers. Your keyholder called. Police alerted with verified footage. A patrol sent. Whatever your response plan says, done and logged on a Flare report.

Every event is verified by a person before anyone is called.
