Live video monitoring and remote guarding in Chattanooga, TN
A virtual guard for Hamilton County and North Georgia properties. Someone is actually looking at your cameras overnight, warns off intruders over a loudspeaker and calls for help while it is still happening.
How does remote guarding work for a Chattanooga business?
Remote guarding pairs your cameras with people who are paying attention. During the hours you pick, an operator views your feeds as events come in. If a person climbs a fence at a Lookout Valley yard or walks a row of trucks on Amnicola Highway at 3 a.m., the operator speaks through an outdoor speaker, tells them they are on camera, and calls police or your manager if they stay.
Our Chattanooga office on Shallowford Road sets it up and services it, frequently on the camera system a site already has. Owners usually bring us in when a guard contract is getting expensive or when a recorder keeps catching thefts that nobody saw until morning.

Pieces of the service
What a virtual guard covers on a Hamilton County site
You choose the cameras, the hours and the call list. We build the plan around those three things.
Overnight and weekend coverage
Watched windows that match when your gate is locked, from shift end to opening.
Loudspeaker warnings
A real voice naming what the person is wearing tends to send them back over the fence.
Your call tree
Who hears about it first, who comes second, and when police are called.
Smarter triggers
Analytics can flag a vehicle after hours or someone lingering at a door instead of every swaying branch.
Written incident record
Each event is logged with its video, so you can pull clips for your insurer, your HR team or police.
Cost against guards
We line up the same coverage hours against what an on-site guard would run you.
Around the region
Chattanooga properties that tend to need a virtual guard
Dealer lots and equipment rental yards along Lee Highway and Highway 153 hold rows of high-value units behind a chain link fence. Warehouses around Enterprise South and along Amnicola sit quiet after second shift. Job sites in the Southside go dark every evening with copper and tools on the slab.
Each of those has the same weakness: cameras that only record. Putting an operator behind them changes the outcome from a police report the next day to a person leaving before anything is loaded. The same approach works across many sites at once, which is how a national chemical distributor with 137 locations across the US and Canada uses our live monitoring in place of guards.

2
Test the cameras
We confirm each view is usable at night and whether a speaker or extra camera is needed.
3
Write the call plan
Contacts, order of calls and the point where police are called.
4
Turn it on
Watching begins and our Chattanooga technicians handle any service calls.

Common questions
Questions we hear a lot
What does remote guarding cost for a Chattanooga property?
Price follows three things: how many camera views are watched, how many hours each night, and whether speakers or cameras must be added. After a site walk you get a written quote you can compare directly against a guard for the same hours.
Is a virtual guard different from a burglar alarm?
Yes. A burglar alarm reacts once a sensor trips, usually with no picture of who is there. With remote guarding an operator is looking at video, can tell a stray cat from a person, and can speak up before a door is forced.
Will it work with the cameras on our building now?
In many cases. We check camera models, angles, night image quality and your internet connection first, then tell you which views can be used as is.
Could this let us drop our night guard?
Plenty of sites do, or cut guard hours down. One operator can view every camera on the property at once, which a guard walking a route cannot.
Do you cover sites in Cleveland and North Georgia too?
Yes. From the Chattanooga office we cover Hamilton County, Bradley County around Cleveland, and Georgia sites such as Fort Oglethorpe, Ringgold and Dalton.
What hours can you watch our site?
The hours you choose, such as overnight, weekends or holidays. Many sites match coverage to the hours their gate is locked.
Do we need speakers on site for talk-down?
Yes, for voice warnings. If the property has no outdoor speaker, we can add one near the areas the cameras watch.
