Offsite CCTV Surveillance

Intelligent detection. Human verification. Connected response.

Connect your cameras to our offsite control room. Choose Standard OSM or Agentic Surveillance, with monitoring hours, event rules and escalation procedures built around your site.

YOUR SURVEILLANCE SERVICE

Choose the depth of review your site needs.

Both tiers connect relevant activity to people who verify footage and follow your site procedure.

01
TIER 1

Standard OSM

A clear monitoring baseline for your entrances, boundaries and priority areas.

  • Configured people and vehicle events
  • Defined zones, line crossings and loitering rules
  • Operator verification of available footage
  • Agreed monitoring hours and escalation contacts
  • Incident records for follow-up
Discuss Standard OSM
02
TIER 2

Agentic Surveillance

Tier 1 monitoring with selected AI agents that support a more focused operator review.

  • AI-assisted scene review and event context
  • A second check of selected alerts
  • Safety cues such as smoke, vaping and PPE where supported
  • Camera-view and zone-quality review
  • Incident summaries for clearer handovers
Discuss Agentic Surveillance

Selected agents support the operator. Supported capabilities, camera suitability and response procedures are confirmed for your site.

AI-ASSISTED REVIEW

More context when an alert needs a closer look.

Agentic Surveillance helps operators examine a selected event, check the surrounding scene and prepare a clearer account for the next person in the response chain.

Safety cues

Review supported smoke, vaping or PPE cues in the scene.

Second alert check

Add a focused review of a selected alert before follow-up.

Coverage quality

Review camera views and configured zones for usable detail.

Incident clarity

Bring the event, context and follow-up into a concise summary.

WHERE CONTEXT MATTERS

Different events. A focused review.

Review the sequence and available footage before deciding what an event means.

01Entrance activityPotential threat cues

Review a person and a visible object at an entrance. Check the footage and the site procedure before escalating a potential threat.

Estates, dealerships and commercial entrances
02Welfare concernsA person at floor level

Review the sequence around a person moving down to floor level. Establish the context before deciding whether help is needed.

Retail, reception areas and shared spaces
03Stock movementUnusual handling of stock

Review stock handling alongside surrounding footage and available authorisation records. Give the operator context for a closer check.

Stockrooms, parts stores and warehouse areas
04Customer-facing incidentsAn escalating confrontation

Review visible behaviour and the surrounding event, then follow the agreed response plan.

Retail, showrooms and customer-facing premises
CONNECTED CONTROL

Keep the event, the action and the record together.

Central event handling

Review supported sites, alarms and access events together. Build a monitoring view that works across your locations.

Operator accountability

Trace system activity through audit records and keep incidents connected to the follow-up process.

System assurance

Surface camera, recording or connectivity issues for maintenance and follow-up. Agree who owns each technical exception.

SITE READINESS

A service built around your site.

Assess existing CCTV, test the live workflow and agree the operating baseline before handover.

  1. 01

    Camera suitability

    Assess the views, lighting and level of detail needed for the chosen events and review tasks.

  2. 02

    Power & connectivity

    Confirm secure access, bandwidth, backup requirements and a procedure for video loss.

  3. 03

    Response ownership

    Agree monitoring hours, named contacts and the escalation route for your site.

  4. 04

    Test & handover

    Test detection, operator review, escalation and incident records against the agreed service scope.

Your surveillance questions.

What is the difference between the two tiers?

Standard OSM uses configured event detection with operator verification and escalation. Agentic Surveillance adds selected AI agents to support scene review, second alert checks and incident summaries. The proposed service states which capabilities are included.

Does an AI agent decide the response?

Selected agents support the operator with review context. Operators verify available footage and follow the agreed site procedure and escalation route.

Can we use our existing cameras?

Often, subject to compatibility, camera views, image quality and secure connectivity. We assess suitable existing equipment and identify any required changes.

Does Agentic Surveillance include the VMS?

Video management, search, storage and evidence retrieval are scoped separately. Available search filters depend on metadata, connected systems and the selected platform.

What happens during load shedding?

Cameras, recording equipment and connectivity need appropriate backup arrangements. The assessment should identify dependencies and expected backup duration; no system can monitor an unavailable video stream.

What determines the cost of offsite CCTV monitoring?

The number of monitored camera views, coverage hours, event-review workload, reporting and response arrangements affect the scope. Connectivity, recording and required upgrades should be assessed separately. Request a proposal that states what is included so you can compare equivalent services, rather than a camera price alone.
