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.
