Remote video monitoring for businesses in Ireland

Remote Video Monitoring means your CCTV cameras are connected to a professional monitoring centre. Our operators view live or event‑driven video feeds and respond when they see suspicious activity or receive an alert. Responses can include audio warnings, contacting keyholders, dispatching Securitas mobile patrols or calling emergency services. The aim is to use video to detect and act on risks in real time.

Once your CCTV system is set up for remote access, it sends video streams and alerts to our Security Operating Centre. We use software and procedures to focus on key areas and events, such as motion in restricted zones or out‑of‑hours activity. When something triggers attention, our operators review the footage and follow the agreed steps with you. We log each event and keep records, so you can see what happened and when.

While no solution can remove all risk, Remote Video Monitoring can help reduce incidents by allowing early intervention. Live audio warnings, visible camera activity and fast response can discourage potential offenders and limit the impact of events. Many customers see fewer break‑ins and less damage when they move from passive recording to proactive monitoring. We’ll be honest about what the service can and cannot do for your specific sites.

It depends on your risk level, site layout and business needs. Some customers use Remote Video Monitoring instead of on‑site guarding during quieter periods. Others combine both, with officers on site at peak times and remote monitoring out of hours. We’ll work with you to find a mix that feels safe for your people and practical for your budget. In higher‑risk environments, on‑site guarding may still be recommended.

Yes, our monitoring centre can handle video feeds from many sites at once. This is useful for businesses with branches, depots or offices across Ireland. We can set up shared procedures and reporting, so you have a consistent approach to monitoring and response across all locations. You still have the flexibility to adjust settings for individual sites where needed.

Remote Video Monitoring can help reduce false alarms by allowing visual verification. When an alarm triggers, our operators can check the video to see what caused it. If it appears to be harmless, such as wildlife or weather, we can follow a lighter response. If it looks serious, we act quickly. Over time, this approach can cut down on unnecessary call‑outs and improve confidence in your system.

You’ll need CCTV cameras, a recording device and a network connection that can support secure remote access. In many cases, existing systems can be adapted for monitoring, but sometimes upgrades are needed for reliability or image quality. We’ll review your current set‑up, explain what is possible and outline any changes required. Our goal is to keep things as simple and practical as we can.

Remote Video Monitoring can be a good fit for small businesses, especially those with valuable stock or equipment and limited staff on site out of hours. We can tailor the service to your opening hours, risk level and budget, starting with key areas such as entrances, tills or yards. Many smaller customers begin with a focused set‑up and expand as their needs grow.

Depending on your system and chosen services, we can provide secure remote access so you can view cameras from a portal or app, such as MySecuritas. This gives you a way to check in on your sites and review events, while our monitoring centre handles live detection and response. We’ll explain the options available for your particular technology during the design phase.
