MONITORING / REMOTE GUARDING

REMOTE GUARDING / THE BASICS

REMOTE GUARDING / WHY IT MATTERS
01
WATCH LARGE OR REMOTE AREAS
Remote guarding can provide active oversight across parking areas, yards, perimeters, construction sites, warehouses, and other areas where continuous physical coverage may be difficult.
02
IDENTIFY EVENTS WHILE THEY’RE HAPPENING
Properly configured systems can bring selected activity to the attention of monitoring personnel instead of relying entirely on someone reviewing footage later.
03
ADD HUMAN REVIEW
Technology can identify or surface activity. A person can provide additional context before the predetermined response workflow continues.
04
EXTEND SECURITY BEYOND A PHYSICAL POST
Remote guarding can complement on-site security by providing visibility across areas where placing a person at every location may not make sense.
05
CONNECT VIDEO WITH A RESPONSE PLAN
Remote guarding works best when cameras, event detection, monitoring, communications, and response procedures are designed as one system.
REMOTE GUARDING / BUILT RIGHT
CAMERA COVERAGE
The system needs useful visibility across the areas being remotely monitored. Camera placement, field of view, image quality, distance, and obstructions all matter.
LIGHTING
A camera that cannot provide useful images under actual nighttime or environmental conditions cannot support effective remote monitoring.
CONNECTIVITY
Remote video monitoring depends on reliable connectivity capable of supporting the required video and event information.
EVENT DETECTION
Determine which activity should generate attention. Event rules should be designed around the property rather than configured so broadly that everything becomes an alert.
HUMAN REVIEW
Where human review is part of the service, monitoring personnel need enough context to understand the event and follow the established procedures.
RESPONSE WORKFLOW
Determine what should happen when different types of events occur according to the property, event, time, and service configuration.
FROM THE FIELD / CUSTOMER STORIES
THE PROCESS / HOW MAINSTREET WORKS
01
ASSESS
SHOW US THE PROPERTY
Start with the areas you’re trying to watch, what happens there, when the property is most vulnerable, what cameras already exist, and what you want to happen when an event occurs.
02
DESIGN
WE DESIGN THE RESPONSE
We determine the appropriate camera coverage, event rules, monitoring workflow, connectivity requirements, and response procedures.
03
CONNECT
GET IT WATCHED
Once the scope is approved, the system can be installed or configured, connected to the appropriate monitoring workflow, tested, and activated.
