How Live Interactive Video Surveillance Protects Your Property

January 16th, 2024



Today's live interactive video surveillance has come a long way in Chico, CA. In the past, video camera security systems were only used to determine what was happening during the night. These analog systems were not too reliable, as evaluation could only be done after a crime had occurred. Today's modern interactive video surveillance helps to protect your investment in real-time before theft and crime take place. These systems can prevent would-be intruders and vandalism, in addition to recording high-resolution video footage for immediate review by the Chico, CA law enforcement authority.

This modern surveillance system, commonly called "live interactive video surveillance" allows your security officers to talk directly to potential intruders, watch for trespassers and direct police officers to appropriate areas for arrest. Here is an overview on How Live Interactive Video Surveillance Protects Your Property.

Stage 1: Installation of High Tech Cameras and Custom Analytics

For a video surveillance system to function optimally, the best security cameras and analytics filters are needed. Your certified Chico security services provider will personally review your property to assess weak points and to determine what resources are already available onsite, such as internet bandwidth and light poles. Next, your security services provider will create a custom security camera placement strategy to enhance coverage with the right number of cameras.

After the cameras are installed, analytics software filters the recorded video footage and transmits it to the remote surveillance facility. The filters help security to ignore events that are unimportant, such as car headlights shining off your home. The camera analytics has great bandwidth so as to alert security officers of any real issues.

Stage 2: Security Officers Remotely Monitor Live Video Feeds for Possible Criminal Activities

For optimal results, it is important that you only employ highly trained security staffs in Chico, CA to manage your live video surveillance system. Certified security personnel can be able to understand alerts and alarms that funnel into the remote surveillance facility. These officers sort via thousands of false alarms and quickly respond when a true intruder appears on your property. To get the most out of the live video surveillance, a good security company should allow their security personnel monitoring for intruder alerts work in short shifts. Limited shifts guarantee the staff's attention to every alert.

Stage 3: Taking Action via the "Interactive As acts of the Surveillance System

If the security personnel identify a suspicious group or individual in the wrong place within the Chico property, he makes a live announcement via the property's speakers informing the intruders that the property is being monitored and videotaped. Such an announcement should be enough to scare intruders who never knew someone was aware of their presence. The goal of the live announcement is to deter theft from ever happening. There is no risk of fatal or physical altercation as the security personnel is safe in a remote surveillance facility.

If the intruder does not head the live warning, the security professionals will call the police. They will, however, continue to watch property until the police arrive to make an arrest. While waiting, the security personnel with continue warning the suspects, guiding authorities to the intruded property area and running license plate numbers.

These are just some of the ways How Live Interactive Video Surveillance Protects Your Property. For outstanding results, the security professionals in Chico, CA must be highly trained on how the entire surveillance system functions and how to respond to alerts.

What Our Customers Say

"I had the Alibi system installed several years ago. It has functioned flawlessly. The image quality is exellent both night and day and in all weather conditions. I particularly like the replay (which can be set at various speeds) and zoom functions of the system. Tech support from Crimefreeliving has been excellent. I have received quick responses to questions, and timely home visits — as when I changed IP carriers and my Alibi system needed to be reset. I have recommended Crimefreeliving to several friends."

Rich

"As a small business owner here in Chico we definitely saw the need for video surveillance. After expressing our needs and concerns Tim did an excellent job getting us set up with the set up with the appropriate equipment. He really took the time to address our concerns in a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable manner. I highly recommend Tim for all of your business and residential video surveillance needs."

Ron H., Owner/Auto Doctor

"I have to say I love having my security cameras at my home. Tim Truby did a wonderful job of installing the five cameras. He is very neat and cleaned everything up after the installation. He explained to me how to operate the monitor, my phone and IPad. However, I have had to call Tim because I'm not tech savvy and forget what he has told me. He usually just helps me over the phone and then all is well. I'm 80 years old and enjoy the comfort of knowing I have these security cameras."

Gloria

"Tim Truby designed and installed a 32 camera system for us here at the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District. We had received several other quotes from security system vendors, but Tim’s quote was the least expensive. Tim also installed the system quickly and has always been available when we needed him. We are very happy with our security camera system and we can highly recommend Tim Truby for all of your surveillance system needs."

D. Weseman, Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District

Crime Free Living updated our old video system with a new 16 Channel HD Alibi Video Security System. The old system had been added onto by different installers which resulted in a cabling mess. There were cables that worked and cables that went nowhere. It was a mess. Tim sorted it all out and installed cameras that are very clear. He also installed a monitor for our cashiers to watch hidden areas, a monitor to watch the entry door, and a monitor that allows employees to watch the outside parking and gas pump area. All work was done on time and very professional! Will always recommend Tim and Crime Free Living.

S. AM PM Chico Arco Station

"I had Tim install an Alibi Video Security System at my residence and a couple business locations. The remote view option is invaluable to absentee owners or anyone who travels a lot. The clarity and quality of the cameras have allowed for viewing employee theft. The evidence provided from the HD video cameras was fantastic! Tim was professional and provided extra value from his law enforcement background."

J. Folsom Arco Station

"Tim, I want to thank you again for doing such a fantastic job on installing a wireless IP security camera system at our dream home. The extra time that you took to hide wires, and install a clean, professional system is much appreciated. I still can’t believe the clarity, quality, and ease of use of this new system. I wished that I would have met you before our original inferior system was installed by another company. Now, whether I am at home, or monitoring the system from around the world, I know that my home and family are safe and sound."

John M.

"In April of 2017, my husband and I made a phone call to Crime Free Living that turned out to be a smart and wise decision. Amazingly, in just a few hours, Tim installed four Dome Security Cameras, weatherproof enclosures, and hooked up into our home a 23" Full HD Widescreen Security Monitor. Even more than his professional expertise was the time spent with us in making sure that this system was working correctly and properly installed on our phones so that anywhere in our travels we can monitor our new home in Magalia."

Tieka and Don S.

With each system, Tim has listened to my needs and custom dsigned surveillance systems for my specific needs and within my budget.
