Video Monitoring and Virtual Guard Service from Cunningham Security

Video monitoring is now available for virtually any camera system with an internet connection. Whether your camera system is from Dahua,

Exacq, Hikvision, or one of many other brands, including Alarm.com, it can be easily integrated with advanced video monitoring services. This intelligent solution can effectively add a “virtual guard” to your property, enabling real-time human intervention when specific activities trigger alerts. Custom programming ensures a trained human operator reviews your camera feeds whenever activities such as after-hours motion detection or suspicious loitering occur, such as someone loitering in a stairwell of a multi-unit building or outside your business.

By having trained security operators monitor your cameras and act immediately, video monitoring can save your organization thousands of dollars per month compared to traditional guard services. Get a quote on video monitoring here.

Comprehensive, Intelligent Surveillance for Your Home and Business

Cunningham Security’s video monitoring is more than just watching cameras remotely. Our advanced systems include smart triggers and proactive virtual guard services, providing real-time intervention and peace of mind. Stay continuously informed about your property with cutting-edge video analytics and immediate response capabilities. Capabilities include:

  • Virtual Guard Service
  • Regular Virtual Guard Tours
  • Smart Analytics and Triggers
  • 2-Way Talkdown
  • Anti Loitering
  • Inventory Controls

Smart Triggers: Stay Alerted to Critical Activity

Our sophisticated video monitoring includes smart triggers designed to detect and record unusual events such as unauthorized access after hours, loitering, or abnormal inventory movements. These intelligent alerts immediately notify our human operators, who actively assess the situation to determine the appropriate response.

Human Operator Response:

  • Virtual Guard: A true replacement for human guard service in many situations, including gate access and monitoring activity on a premise.
  • Two-Way Communication: Our operators can initiate two-way audio to directly communicate with individuals on-site, potentially deterring unwanted activities immediately.
  • Emergency Dispatch: If a threat is confirmed, operators can promptly dispatch emergency services to your property, minimizing potential risks and damages.
  • Customer Notification: Operators can contact you directly, providing real-time alerts about suspicious activities, ensuring you’re always aware of what’s happening.
  • Live Video Verification: Tie your cameras to your alarm system. If you have an alarm, operators can confirm if it is a “false alarm” or something that requires an emergency response. Emergency responders often dispatch on-site much faster if it is accompanied by video verification.

Price of Video Monitoring

Cunningham Security makes professional video monitoring services accessible and affordable, with pricing starting around just $100 per month. The exact cost depends on factors such as the number of cameras, their placement—whether indoors or outdoors—and the specific monitoring options you choose. Outdoor cameras or specialized features, such as virtual guard services and advanced smart triggers, can influence pricing, but all options remain budget-friendly. This flexibility allows you to customize your security plan precisely to your property’s unique needs and your financial goals, ensuring top-tier protection without unnecessary costs.

Alarm.com Integration Makes Video Monitoring Simple

This integration means that any Alarm.com camera you have installed—whether indoor, outdoor, or doorbell cameras—can quickly connect with Cunningham Security’s central station. When specific triggers occur, such as unexpected movement, unusual activity, or alarms being activated, live video streams or recorded clips are instantly accessible to trained security operators.
