Video verification

See what triggered an alarm before choosing the response.

Video verification connects alarm or analytic events with the relevant camera view so trained operators can distinguish routine activity from events that require intervention or escalation.

Review your verification workflow

What the program should deliver

Visual context linked to priority alarm and analytic events
Fewer avoidable escalations caused by harmless activity
Better descriptions for property contacts, guards, or responders
Video-supported incident records and operator notes
Verification rules matched to the property and event type

Operating model

From site conditions to accountable response

Signal

An alarm, sensor, or video analytic identifies activity in a protected zone.

Retrieve

The workflow presents live or event video from the relevant camera and time.

Decide

A trained operator classifies what is visible using the approved site instructions.

Escalate

The operator documents and follows the defined contact, audio, guard, or dispatch path.

Where this approach fits

Commercial intrusion alarms with usable camera coverage
After-hours doors, gates, lots, docks, and perimeters
Sites affected by recurring false or nuisance alarms
Properties that need stronger dispatch context
Multi-site organizations standardizing alarm response

What to evaluate

Which signals and camera views are available to operators
How quickly usable video appears and what happens when it does not
Operator training, decision authority, and quality review
Current contacts, schedules, zone names, and escalation instructions
Evidence retention, access controls, reporting, and privacy governance
