What
is Remote Video Response?
Remote monitoring comprises of two key elements:
The CCTV
system is linked to the remote centre by standard ISDN telephone lines.
Irrespective of the distance involved the monitoring centre can watch over
the remote site at a fraction of the cost of traditional security measures
such as manned guards.
How
does RVR work?
When an alarm, linked to the CCTV is triggered (by any number of detection
devices), pictures are automatically transmitted down a telephone line and
received at the monitoring station. Here an operator reviews the images,
assesses what is happening, and determines what action to take. This may
involve alerting a nearby mobile patrol or the police, or simply warning
off the intruders by a two-way audio.
The result – the intruders leave the site.
Typical Applications
RVR can be used in a wide range of situations:-
-
Storage
Centres with Perimeter Fencing

-
Vehicle
Storage Compounds

How much does it cost?
RVR is both affordable and cost effective. What is more, anyone taking out
an RVR package can qualify for discounts on their insurance premiums. In
some cases this could amount to as much as 25%!
