Stop Crime before
it happens with SkyWatch Proactive Video Monitoring
A permanent, tailor-made security system that offers you the complete SkyWatch Solution: LIVE, proactive video monitoring, and expert intervention services.
Why proactive video monitoring is different
The best way to stop a would-be criminal in their tracks is with proactive video monitoring, or PVM. As the name says, it is proactive – meaning that action is taken in advance of an incident, not during or after it occurs.
Proactive video monitoring allows for our team of expertly trained intervention specialists at our state-of-the-art monitoring centers to intervene before a crime occurs, effectively preventing it from being committed.
The intelligent detection solution delivers 24/7/365 protection, reducing the need to hire security guards, while improving the ability to monitor and respond to potential threats.

Intelligent software detects a threat in the CCTV Monitoring System
The Evolution of CCTV Monitoring: From Reactive to Proactive
The Netwatch Platform connects to the video surveillance system, now including advanced CCTV Monitoring System, accompanied by the use of computer vision software analytics to detect unauthorised activity. Once unauthorised activity is detected, within seconds an alert is sent to an intervention specialist at the Monitoring Hub.
Experts assess and verify the threat
Once an alert is received, our highly-trained specialists at one of our state-of-the-art CCTV Live Monitoring centres swiftly evaluate the situation over a live video feed, determining the threat level and taking appropriate action.
Intervene
Personalised warning is given
An intervention specialist speaks directly to the intruder with a live audio warning during the Live CCTV Monitoring process, advising they leave the premises immediately. Hearing this personalised warning makes it clear to the criminal that they are being watched and recorded on video. In 98% of cases, the live warning stops the criminal from proceeding. In the small number of cases where they are not deterred, the intervention specialist escalates the response.
Policy-based response is executed
Live CCTV Monitoring: A game-Changer in Incident Prevention
Following a set of pre-determined protocols, the intervention specialist from one of the top CCTV Monitoring Companies, Netwatch, will launch the proper response. Depending on the situation, this may be to notify law enforcement, alert the keyholders, or take another action. With the corrective actions set into motion, the specialist will remain in live video and audio contact with the incident until the site has been fully secured.

Innovative Response Protocols by CCTV Monitoring Companies
Incident reporting after a crime is another area where Netwatch PVM, as a leader among CCTV Monitoring Companies, offers significant advantages over traditional monitoring. Reporting can be a time-consuming, labor-intensive process with legacy monitoring services. There can also be gaps in evidence or in a timeline caused by the need to piece together the event based on data from diverse sources. Netwatch creates your incident reports within 24hrs, containing all relevant details and visuals, then shares them with clients for their information.

Our Approach
The Better Way to Monitor Your Facility and Premises
Proactive video monitoring is not like traditional monitoring. The intelligent detection solution provides a 24/7, 365-day security guard. This reduces the need for hiring security officers, while improving the user’s ability to monitor and respond to threats.
With PVM, it’s possible to intervene before the crime happens, and prevent it from occurring. This differs from traditional monitoring, which is reactive – it prompts no action to be taken until during or after the crime has taken place. This can have severe consequences for the business owner.
Ultimately, reactive video surveillance is not the best or most efficient way to reduce crime at your facility. Violence, vandalism, theft and other criminal activity can devastate you financially. Using video to create a record, or even to notify authorities of an incident in progress, is not good enough. Proactive video monitoring is the better way to protect yourself and your business.
