Live monitoring

Remote video monitoring with live talk-down

We use your camera system to detect and notify CSG Security when someone enters your property after hours — so we can investigate, speak to them through a loudspeaker and call the authorities before anything is taken.

How it works

From detection to dispatch in seconds.

01Detection

Camera analytics flag a person

Analytics detect a person or vehicle entering your property during lockdown hours and push the event straight to a live monitoring agent — filtering out wildlife, weather and headlights.

02Assessment

An operator looks at it

The agent reviews the live video within seconds and decides whether it's a legitimate visitor, a false trigger or a genuine intruder.

03Talk-down

A voice on your site

Through installed loudspeakers, the agent speaks directly to the intruder — describing them and their location and warning that police are on the way. Most leave immediately.

04Dispatch

Police, with live eyes on

If they don't leave, the agent calls the authorities and describes exactly what is happening on your property right now — a verified, in-progress event, not an unverified alarm.

Trained operators, not just software

Analytics do the first pass, but a person makes the call: is this a real intruder, where are they, and what will make them leave. That judgement is what turns a camera feed into a deterrent.

A voice intruders can't ignore

Weatherproof loudspeakers around your perimeter carry the operator's voice across the site. Hearing a real person describe them is what makes an intruder turn around and leave.

Common questions

Can you use the cameras I already have?

In many cases, yes. If your existing system supports ONVIF, analytics and remote access, we can often add live monitoring to it. We'll review your setup during the consultation and tell you honestly what works and what needs upgrading.

What hours are you watching?

You choose. Most customers run monitoring outside business hours, on weekends and over holidays — the times nobody should be on site. Around-the-clock coverage is available too.

What does the operator actually say?

The warning is specific: what the person is wearing, where they are standing, and that they are being recorded and police have been called. Being described out loud is what makes people leave.

How is this different from an alarm?

An alarm tells you something happened. Video monitoring puts a trained person on the live picture, so a real intruder gets an immediate response and a raccoon doesn't cost you a false-alarm fee.
