Introducing VentureSIGHT – our new remote CCTV monitoring service

We are excited to announce the launch of our fantastic new remote video surveillance monitoring service, VentureSIGHT.

Providing real-time, remote monitoring of video surveillance systems, VentureSIGHT ensures CCTV alarms and incidents of movement detected on site, are immediately responded to and appropriate action taken, where needed.

For businesses, this swift action can have many benefits; helping deter criminals and reducing the potential for financial loss or disruption.

Paul Howe, Managing Director, Venture Security, explains: “From investing in the latest cutting-edge technology and processes, to committing to the development and training of our officers, we are always looking for ways we might raise the bar for our customers. Introducing remote video monitoring is yet another way we are supporting businesses to keep their property and assets safe.”

He added: “We know that remote monitoring can be very effective, especially for those organisations with yards and other outdoor areas, where equipment, vehicles and other assets may be stored and easily targeted.

“Our operators can swiftly verify alarms and respond immediately to any alerts of movement or suspicious activity on the premises. By ensuring prompt action, they can help minimise risk, deter theft and damage, and create a safer working environment. Overall, providing complete peace of mind.”

VentureSIGHT and the benefits of remote monitoring

What is remote CCTV monitoring?

VentureSIGHT is our dedicated remote monitoring service. It is a cost-effective solution for ensuring video surveillance systems are actively monitored and any movement on site is quickly detected. It can offer peace of mind that any issues will be identified and responded to immediately.

What are the benefits of remote CCTV monitoring?

• Deter criminals: Having monitored cameras on the premises can act as a deterrent, discouraging potential criminals from targeting your property and assets. We can even speak to them live to send them on their way!
• Reduced risk of financial loss: An immediate  response can ensure any potential financial loss or business disruption is minimised. Whether a police response, a key holder response, or simply an audio challenge, intruders will be dealt with as quickly as physically possible.
• Minimise false alarms: Our officers will be able to quickly identify the source of a security breach, reducing false alarms and disruption meaning key holders or the police are not unnecessarily disrupted.
• Cost-effective: Professionally monitored CCTV can be a cost-effective alternative to employing full-time security guards on site.

How does remote monitoring work?

Following movement being detected on site, or an alarm being activated, our specially trained Operators, working out of our state-of-the-art Operations Centre (VSOC) in Andover, will securely connect to your Video Surveillance System.

They will swiftly verify alerts and respond immediately to any suspicious activity on your premises, reducing the chance of false alarm call outs and the potential for financial loss or damage to property and assets. 

What happens if an alarm goes off?

If any unusual activity is detected, our operators will investigate the cause, using all available cameras to ensure any blind spots are covered.

Depending on the surveillance system installed, our Operators can deliver an audio warning, alerting intruders to the fact they are being watched and recorded, and that further action will be taken if they continue.

If your property or assets remain at risk, the emergency services may also be alerted where necessary.

If you opt for our key holding service alongside your monitoring, then our experienced mobile patrol team will respond rapidly to attend your site. Further reducing risk and removing responsibility from your employees.

Keen to take your security up a level, with regularly security patrols outside of working hours? We can help with that too.

When is remote monitoring available?

Monitoring is available 24/7, 365 days a year, or can be activated at set times, such as out of office hours.

As well as offering this reactive service, we can also provide proactive monitoring, for example, the live monitoring of public spaces, or virtual 'patrol tours' of common areas that may be subject to antisocial behaviour or vandalism.

Our flexible and reliable service can be tailored to your specific requirements, whether you are a large manufacturer, housing association, school, depot, retailer or anything in between.

What types of businesses might benefit the most from remote monitoring?

• Depots - high vulnerability to fuel, vehicle and equipment theft
• Trade/ retail sites - where stock is kept on site, such as in a yard
• Factories, Manufacturing and Warehousing - high risk due to products being made or stored on site, particularly outside in yards
• Automotive workshops – high risk of fuel, vehicle and equipment theft
• Housing associations – high risk of antisocial behaviour in common areas
• Business Parks – increased risk depending on the nature of the products and operations
• Schools and colleges – prone to trespassing during weekend and holiday closures
