24/7 Camera Monitoring
Explore around-the-clock remote monitoring for agreed camera views and property needs, with monitoring coverage and procedures defined for the engagement.
Virtual security guard & 24/7 camera monitoring · Greater Phoenix
Go Beyond Camera Recording With Remote Security Monitoring.
A camera system can show what happens at your property. Dedicated monitoring adds a service designed to observe video and follow agreed procedures when relevant situations arise. Optogy offers virtual security guard and 24/7 camera monitoring options for commercial properties and business sites.
Monitoring coverage, equipment requirements, and escalation arrangements are defined for your property and service scope.
A different approach to video security
Recording Captures Activity. Monitoring Adds Defined Oversight.
Business security cameras can record and provide access to footage, but recording alone is different from having a monitoring service in place.
Optogy's virtual guard and camera monitoring offerings are designed around the property, compatible equipment, and the procedures agreed for that service. Specific observations, escalation actions, and coverage expectations are established before monitoring begins.

Around-the-Clock Monitoring With Clear Expectations.
Optogy offers dedicated 24/7 monitoring services. The service design determines which video sources and conditions are covered and how observations are handled.
What your monitoring plan should address
Relevant camera views, service hours and methods, appropriate notifications, escalation contacts, and any equipment or connectivity dependencies all deserve a clear discussion.
24/7 service does not mean a guarantee that every incident will be seen or prevented.

Frequently asked questions
Virtual Guard & Camera Monitoring FAQs
Does Optogy provide 24/7 camera monitoring?
Yes. Optogy offers dedicated 24/7 camera monitoring services. Coverage, observation procedures, escalation arrangements, and the responsibilities of each party are defined for the specific engagement.
What is a virtual security guard?
A virtual security guard service uses remote video observation and agreed procedures to support property security. Specific capabilities, staffing arrangements, and responses depend on the service being provided.
How is monitoring different from a normal camera system?
A standard camera system can provide recording and authorized viewing. A separate monitoring service adds remote observation and agreed procedures for handling specified situations.
Can monitoring work with our existing cameras?
Possibly. Compatibility depends on the installed camera system, video access, network reliability, and the requirements of the selected monitoring service. Optogy can review the environment.
What happens when something suspicious is observed?
Handling depends on the agreed monitoring procedures and escalation contacts. We will discuss how relevant observations are addressed before service begins; a particular intervention or outcome cannot be guaranteed.
Does every camera receive continuous individual attention?
Monitoring methods and coverage are defined in the service scope. Around-the-clock service availability does not necessarily mean each camera is continuously watched by an individual operator.
Can Optogy install cameras as well as arrange monitoring?
Yes. Optogy provides commercial camera planning and installation along with separately scoped 24/7 monitoring and virtual security guard services.
Do we need an Optogy Managed IT agreement?
No. Camera installation and dedicated monitoring services can be discussed independently of a Managed IT agreement.
