Every Corporate Video Remote Monitoring Service Is the Result of Two Decisions

Every Corporate Video Remote Monitoring Service Is the Result of Two Decisions

The structure of every corporate video remote monitoring service is determined by two key decisions.

The first decision is whether the provider intends to deliver a reactive or a preventive service.

The second decision is who finances the required technological infrastructure: the customer or the service provider.

These two decisions create four distinct service models, each designed to support different customer needs and business strategies.

1. Reactive Video Remote Monitoring – Customer Invests, Provider Delivers the Service

  • Dispatcher monitoring
  • Alarm event handling
  • Incident response
  • Physical dispatch when required

2. Reactive Video Remote Monitoring – Provider Invests, Provider Delivers the Service
