Monitoring & Surveillance
Eyes on Your Site — and Someone Who Acts.

How Monitoring Works
Watch, verify, respond.
Six core capabilities that turn cameras into actual protection.
Live Monitoring
Trained eyes on your cameras in real time — not a recording nobody watches.
Alarm Verification
Verification that cuts false alarms and speeds real response.
Entry Monitoring
Watch on doors, gates, and access points for unauthorized activity.
Threat Detection
Spotting suspicious behavior early, before it becomes an incident.
Dispatch & Escalation
Immediate dispatch of officers and escalation to you or police.
Incident Logging
Time-stamped event logs and footage coordination for follow-up.
Equitab vs. the Giants
What the national firms can't match.
| What keeps you up at night | Equitab | National firms |
|---|---|---|
| A guard not showing up | Reliable coverage — posts filled, gaps caught before you do | No-shows you find out about after the fact |
| A different stranger every week | A dedicated team — the same faces your people know | Whoever the schedule sent that day |
| Not being able to reach anyone | A named account lead who answers — not a queue | A call center and a ticket number |
| Waiting weeks to get covered | Officers on-site in 24–48 hours | Weeks of onboarding before anyone shows |
| Under-trained, here-today-gone guards | Vetted, trained, fairly paid officers who stay | Lowest-bidder staffing and constant turnover |
