The real-world difference is "continuous vs. intermittent." "Virtual Guarding" typically means an operator briefly checks your cameras once per hour, leaving massive security gaps. Our "Proactive Live Monitoring" means your site is continuously analyzed by AI and watched by our operators 24/7, ensuring threats are detected and deterred instantly.
"Virtual Guarding" is a compelling marketing term used by many large security providers. It sounds advanced, but it's crucial to understand how this service actually functions. In most cases, it describes an intermittent "virtual tour" model that is fundamentally different—and far less secure—than the continuous Proactive Live Monitoring that we provide. The difference lies in the enormous, predictable gaps in coverage that this model creates, leaving your property vulnerable for the vast majority of the time. Our live video monitoring and AI-powered detection provide this continuous protection.
The "virtual guard tour" model is based on intermittent check-ins, which is its greatest weakness.
An operator at a national call centre will remotely access your cameras to perform a "tour" for a few minutes each hour. For example, they might look at your cameras from 10:00 to 10:05 PM, and then not again until 11:00 PM.
This creates a 55-minute gap every hour where no one is watching. A catalytic converter can be stolen in 60 seconds. This means for over 90% of the time, your property is effectively unmonitored. This isn't real security, it's a security lottery.
Our model is designed specifically to eliminate these gaps.
Our AI analytics are continuously watching and analyzing every camera feed, 24/7/365. It is a persistent, unwavering watch that never takes a break. The moment the AI detects a potential threat—at any time, not just at the top of the hour—it is instantly flagged for verification by our human operators. There are no gaps for criminals to exploit.
Someone briefly shines a light on your property once an hour. It provides a momentary glimpse, but anything that happens in the long periods of darkness between flashes is completely missed.
Our service is a powerful, continuously sweeping beam of light. It is always active, constantly scanning for danger, and providing unwavering protection that leaves no corners in darkness.
Criminals don't operate on a schedule. Your security shouldn't either. The intermittent checks of a "Virtual Guarding" service leave your business vulnerable. Choose the continuous, unbroken protection of true Proactive Live Monitoring and close the gaps in your security for good.
