CCTV Systems: Crime Deterrence, Detection and More

Closed-circuit video surveillance (CCTV) systems are a highly effective means to to protect your facilities, employees and visitors. Utilizing the latest hardware and software technology combined with dedicated response professionals, an "intelligent" CCTV system from Valley Alarm not only deters crime but can help ensure criminals are quickly detected and apprehended. Beyond crime prevention, our CCTV systems also provide you with a number of very important benefits to reduce risk and costs and increase profits.

Proactive CCTV Systems Deter and Respond

Thanks to advances in hardware and software technology, including video analytics, a Valley Alarm CCTV system reduces top internal and external risk.

An "intelligent" CCTV system can now detect crimes or other events at your facilties and send detailed information to our monitoring center for evaluation and response. You no longer need to rely on security guards continually scanning multiple CCTV system monitors or performing physical patrols of your facilities. Instead, alarm events are automatically detected by the CCTV system and streaming video is sent to our monitoring center for immediate analysis. (You can also have video sent to any email account you desire.) Our dispatch professionals can then respond with verbal warnings to perpetrators or by dispatching law enforcement, thereby reducing the need for onsite security personnel.

With a Valley Alarm CCTV system you can dramatically mitigate financial loss due to criminal activity:

• Reduce or eliminate the theft of building materials, tools, generators, vehicles, fixtures, metal and other assets.
• Dramatically reduce shrinkage and employee theft.
• Reduce or eliminate loitering, graffiti and vandalism.
