Frequently Asked Questions About Intelligent Video Monitoring

  • What is Intelligent Video Monitoring?

    Intelligent Video Monitoring helps businesses move from reactive security to proactive protection. Advanced, AI-powered video analytics continuously monitor designated areas for activity that may require attention.

    When a potential security event is detected, EPS Security’s award-winning Monitoring Center operators review the footage in real time and determine the appropriate response. Depending on the situation, that response may include issuing a live audio warning, notifying key contacts, or coordinating with emergency responders.

  • How is Intelligent Video Monitoring different from security cameras?

    Most security cameras are excellent at documenting what happened. Intelligent Video Monitoring is designed to help influence what happens next.

    Instead of relying solely on recorded footage to investigate after an incident, Intelligent Video Monitoring combines advanced analytics with live human review to identify suspicious activity as it happens. This creates opportunities to intervene before theft, vandalism, trespassing, or other unwanted activity escalates.

  • What types of businesses benefit most from Intelligent Video Monitoring?

    Intelligent Video Monitoring often fits businesses with large outdoor areas, valuable equipment, limited overnight staffing, or ongoing concerns about after-hours activity.

    Common applications include:

    • Manufacturing facilities
    • Warehouses and distribution centers
    • Construction sites
    • Auto dealerships
    • Office campuses
    • Retail centers
    • Equipment storage yards
    • Multi-building commercial properties

    If there are areas of your property that cannot be easily supervised around the clock, Intelligent Video Monitoring may provide an added layer of protection.

  • Can Intelligent Video Monitoring replace security guards?

    Intelligent Video Monitoring can often reduce the need for dedicated on-site guard coverage in certain applications, particularly during overnight hours, weekends, or at properties where security personnel primarily perform observation and reporting functions.

    However, the right solution depends on your facility, risks, and operational requirements. While security guards provide a physical on-site presence, Intelligent Video Monitoring offers continuous surveillance, real-time event verification, and immediate intervention across multiple areas simultaneously.

    For many businesses, the most effective approach is either replacing select guard hours with Intelligent Video Monitoring or using both solutions together as part of a layered security strategy.

  • Can Intelligent Video Monitoring help reduce false alarms?

    Yes. One of the biggest benefits of Intelligent Video Monitoring is the ability to add context to potential security events.

    Instead of responding solely to an automated alert, trained specialists can review video to help determine whether a genuine security concern exists. This additional layer of verification helps reduce unnecessary responses while ensuring legitimate threats receive prompt attention.

  • Can Intelligent Video Monitoring help prevent crime?

    While no security solution can guarantee that crime won’t occur, Intelligent Video Monitoring is designed to create opportunities for intervention before a situation results in loss or damage.

    When suspicious activity is detected, trained monitoring specialists can evaluate the situation and take appropriate action. In many cases, a live audio announcement or immediate response can be enough to discourage trespassers and encourage them to leave the property before an incident occurs.

  • Will Intelligent Video Monitoring replace my alarm system?

    For most businesses, Intelligent Video Monitoring works best as part of a comprehensive security strategy rather than a replacement for an intrusion alarm system.

    Alarm systems and video monitoring serve different but complementary roles. An alarm system detects activity through sensors, while Intelligent Video Monitoring provides visual awareness and real-time assessment of what’s happening on your property. Together, they can provide a more complete view of potential security events and enable a more informed response.
