Live Video Monitoring

Recording tells you
what already happened.

A camera that only records gives you evidence after the loss. Live monitoring puts a trained operator on the feed while it is happening, with an audio warning that most trespassers do not wait around for.

How live monitoring works

Your cameras, whether permanently installed or mounted on a solar tower, stream to a monitoring center. Analytics flag movement in the areas you care about during the hours you set, so an operator is looking at real activity rather than at wind and headlights.

When something needs a response, the operator can issue a live audio warning over the on-site speaker, and escalate according to the plan you agree in advance. Most incidents end at the audio warning.

Who delivers it

Precision CCTV designs the coverage, installs and maintains the equipment, and owns the relationship. The monitoring itself is delivered with licensed central station partners, which is how the round-the-clock staffing and the alarm licensing requirements are met.

We say this plainly because it matters to your insurer and to anyone reviewing your vendor compliance file.

It is an add-on, not a bundle

Live monitoring is priced separately from equipment and from the $2,500 per month solar tower rental. A tower rental includes recording, delivery, setup, and support. Monitoring is added on top when you want eyes on the feed in real time.

Some sites want it every night. Some want it only on weekends and holidays, which is when most site theft happens. You choose the window.

Need a tower instead of an install?

Mobile solar surveillance towers rent at $2,500 per month flat and stand up in under four hours, on sites with no power and no internet.

Common Questions

Questions we get asked

Is live monitoring included with a surveillance tower rental?

No. The $2,500 per month tower rental includes delivery, setup, recording, remote viewing, maintenance, and support. Live monitoring is available as an add-on and is priced separately, so you only pay for it if you want an operator watching in real time.

What happens when an operator sees someone on my site?

The operator issues a live audio warning through the speaker on site, which ends most incidents, and then escalates according to the plan agreed with you in advance. That plan can include calling your contacts and calling emergency services.

Can I monitor only at night or only on weekends?

Yes. You set the coverage window. Weekend and holiday coverage is a common choice on construction sites, because that is when a site sits empty the longest.

Who actually does the monitoring?

Precision CCTV designs, installs, and maintains the system, and monitoring is delivered with licensed central station partners. We tell you this up front because vendor compliance reviews and insurers ask.

Does live monitoring work with cameras I already own?

Sometimes. It depends on the cameras, the recorder, and the connection at the site. Send us what is installed and we will tell you whether it can be brought onto monitoring as-is or what would need to change.
