CHeKT Video Verification Offers Actionable Information to Respond to Incidents
Traditional alarms are at best a passive deterrent to intruders. At worst, they give you and your staff a false sense of security. Legacy alarms are associated with high false alarm rates (caused by wind, animals, or shadows), delayed police responses, and a lack of context.
CHeKT video verification resolves all of these issues by providing direct video evidence correlating to any sensors or alarms that get triggered on your property. We use CHeKT to turn your passive cameras into an intelligent, proactive defense platform. Because alerts without context are just noise.
Is Your Security System Plagued With False Alarms?
Motion sensors struggle to differentiate normal movement from threats. And by the fifth time your team responds to an alarm only to find the issue was a stray cat instead of a burglar, false alarm fatigue begins to creep in. CHeKT pairs sensors with cameras. When a tripwire is triggered, a live video clip is immediately sent to your monitoring center. The center uses video verification to eliminate 90% of false alarms. You and the authorities are notified only when there is a legitimate threat to your assets.
Get Priority Response Times from Law Enforcement
Law enforcement has limited resources, especially in high-density urban areas like St. Louis. In those cases, they need to be strategic about how they utilize them. It’s not uncommon for them to deprioritize dispatch for unverified alarms. They waste time and resources when real emergencies may be happening elsewhere.
If Westco’s operators are able to tell a dispatcher exactly what they’re seeing, your call could go to the top of the priority list. And whether it’s a break-in or a fire, just minutes saved in response time could mean significantly less property damage or casualties.
What Industries Benefit Most from Video Verification?
We recommend using video verification in areas where you regularly monitor for after-hours activity. In those cases, having on-site security staff at all times is not feasible, so video verification takes over monitoring duties. Those include construction sites, car lots, gated facilities, or storage yards. CHeKT uses AI-driven analytics to flag loitering or perimeter breaches before a break-in happens. In those cases, not only is video sent to our station, but a voice-down warning scares off intruders.
How Can You Add CHeKT to your Security Portfolio?
For the most part, CHeKT is brand-agnostic and can be incorporated with your existing cameras and alarm panels. We’ll also incorporate it into our professional monitoring services to stay on top of your security risks and tech upgrades.
Traditional alarms tell you that something might be wrong. With CHeKT, you know exactly what is happening, and authorities know exactly how to respond. Don’t leave your facility’s safety to chance.
