Live video monitoring and remote guarding in Nashville, TN
Remote guarding for Nashville lots, yards, construction sites and buildings. Agents watch your cameras live, speak through on-site speakers to stop trespassers, and escalate when it matters.
What is live video monitoring, and who provides it in Nashville?
Live video monitoring, also called remote guarding or a virtual guard, means trained agents watch your security cameras in real time during the hours you pick. When someone shows up who should not be there, the agent speaks to them through a speaker on site, which often ends it, then contacts your people or authorities if it continues.
Turner Security provides live video monitoring for Nashville and Middle Tennessee businesses from our office at 106 Enon Springs Road East in Smyrna, often using cameras you already own. Many customers use it to replace or cut back on-site guard hours.

Local fit
Who uses live video monitoring around Middle Tennessee
Equipment yards, distribution lots and dealerships along I-24 and Murfreesboro Pike sit empty overnight with expensive inventory in plain view. Apartment communities in Murfreesboro, Smyrna and La Vergne deal with loitering and after-hours trespassing. Live video monitoring puts eyes on those properties without a guard on payroll.
It scales, too. A national chemical distributor with 137 locations across the US and Canada replaced its security guards with our live video monitoring.
Pools, garages, mail rooms and gates where after-hours loitering and trespassing cause most of the problems.

Guards vs. monitoring
Thinking about replacing a night guard?
Live video monitoring can replace or reduce on-site guard hours. One national chemical distributor with sites across the US and Canada replaced its guards with live video monitoring. Agents watch cameras across the site, speak through on-site speakers and call police with live video when needed.
We start with the cameras you already have, the hours you need covered and who should be called. There are no long-term monitoring agreements, and our help desk resolves most camera issues remotely so coverage stays up.
Common questions
Questions we hear a lot
How much does live video monitoring cost in Nashville?
Cost depends on how many cameras are watched, how many hours a day, and whether you need new cameras or speakers. We review the property and quote it clearly. It often costs less than on-site guards for the same hours.
Is remote guarding the same as alarm monitoring?
No. Alarm monitoring reacts after a sensor trips. Remote guarding has agents watching live video, so they can see what is happening and talk to the person on site before damage is done. Our guide on live video monitoring vs. alarm monitoring goes deeper.
Can you monitor the cameras we already have?
Often, yes. It depends on the cameras, where they are mounted and your network, so we review the system before confirming.
Does live monitoring work for construction sites and car lots?
Yes. Lots, equipment yards and job sites are some of the most common properties we monitor, often with solar camera trailers where there is no power.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. We do not require long-term agreements on monitoring.
Which Middle Tennessee properties do you monitor?
We monitor properties across Nashville, Antioch, La Vergne, Smyrna, Murfreesboro, Franklin, Brentwood, Nolensville, Mt. Juliet, Lebanon, Hendersonville and Gallatin, plus surrounding communities.
Who offers live video monitoring in Nashville?
Turner Security provides live video monitoring and remote guarding for Nashville and Middle Tennessee businesses from our Smyrna office, often using the cameras you already own.
Can live monitoring cover a site only on weekends or holidays?
Yes. Coverage is set to the hours and days you choose, such as nights, weekends or holiday closures.
Prompt, friendly and there whenever you need them. Provide great protection.

★★★★★★★★★★
We switched to Turner Security five years ago after enduring a decade of horrendous service elsewhere, and the difference has been remarkable. They've been consistently responsive to the occasional service request, and their monitoring has been first-rate. The level of reliability and professionalism they provide is exactly what we were hoping for.
