A Home Security Guide to Video Verification Monitoring

To help keep your home monitored and protected, consider a video verification service for your home. Learn everything the service provides and how implementing the service into a home security system will help you in the long run.

Video verification monitoring is a 24-hour-a-day service that provides you with security services tied directly into a security system and video surveillance set-up. When the alarms or monitors are triggered at your home, a surveillance company gets sent a short clip of your security footage to determine if a real incident has occurred or if there was a mistake.

Your security system is connected through a secure internet connection. Not only does the security company have access to the footage, but you can sign up for security alerts as well through an app or built-in web browser. Being aware of the alerts is important if you are out of the home or in a location away from the incident point.

If there is an incident, the company will contact police authorities immediately to try and stop the crime in progress. Police will also obtain access to the footage. For example, if there is footage of a driveway or street, police will have visuals of potential cars or license plates to track.

The quicker the police are informed, the faster the crime will get stopped or prevented. Another big benefit of the video verification service is the elimination of false alarms. If a pest or bird has triggered the alarm, the last thing you want to worry about is the police showing up for no reason.

A video verification team will cut off the alarms and contact authorities if they have already been alerted to a possible crime.

When you use video verification services, you can mix in other home security services. For example, you may want a doorbell video service so you receive video feeds when someone rings the doorbell to your home. Motion detectors built-in on the cameras will record essential footage so you can easily look through security feeds and skip video with no movement.

Along with the video surveillance, consider new lock systems for your home. Secure locks on doors and windows will add extra security to help prevent break-ins and keep your home secure. A security company could also equip windows with glass break monitors tied directly to the security system.

When a window is smashed, the sound will trigger the security alarm and activate the video verification service to show security workers exactly how the glass break occurred.

A majority of the time, your home will remain safe and free from incidents. A full-fledged home surveillance system may feel like overkill when you have 24-hour monitoring. Video verification monitoring will examine your home when it counts and be ready for the essential elements.

The service will often cost less than a full home surveillance package and still provide you with protections needed to help thwart crimes. The service is typically a subscription-based model with fees paid out on a monthly or annual basis.
