Nowadays, just about every business, company, governmental agency, educational facility or home has some type of video surveillance system. But why just watch a criminal activity that happened when you can actually prevent it from happening? There are several emerging technologies like CHeKT that allow you to react to crime in real-time. But like anything new, there are always questions. We’ve gathered some of the most common ones regarding proactive security systems and provided you with the answers.
What’s the difference between reactive and proactive security?
Traditional or reactive security systems do a good job of sending alerts when there’s a break in, fire or incidence of trespassing. Issues like these are important to be aware of, but learning about them after the fact only allows you to react once the damage may have already been done. With a proactive security system like CHeKT, you’ll be made aware incidences in real-time so you can respond in real time.
Who can benefit from this system?
Anyone who has property and people that need to be protected. Whether you run a car dealership in Peoria, work at a school in Bloomington, have a medical office in Springfield or Pekin, you will benefit from CHeKT.
How does a proactive system with visual verification reduce false alarms?
Another problem with traditional security systems are false alarms. Wind, a bird striking a window, a passing animal or faulty batteries can all cause a typical alarm to go off. With a proactive system, you’ll instantly be notified via a mobile app with a live visual of the incident so you can take the appropriate action in real-time.
What happens when motion is detected?
In addition to being instantly notified of an incident via a mobile app, CHeKT can automatically deliver audio warnings to intruders and increase lighting in areas where disturbances are detected to not only drive criminals away but better capture their images. The system can even be scaled to provide security companies with instant access to data, ensuring their agents can act quickly and provide the appropriate responses.
Can this system integrate with my existing setup?
Yes. CHeKT is a turnkey method for switching your reactive video surveillance system to a proactive video security solution.
What if my location requires advanced detection methods?
CHeKT can integrate technologies like video analytics, infrared beams or radar into a cloud ecosystem. This provides immediate situational awareness to you and 24/7 command centers during alarms, ensuring swift and informed responses.
What else can CHeKT do?
CHeKT can manage welcome messages, lighting and gate access.
How do I know if proactive visual security is right for me?
Basically, if you’ve had a number of false alarms or experienced theft or damage, then you need a system like CHeKT to help prevent break-ins, loss of property and damage.
