Feature
Additional comparative advantages of VSS include the ability to clearly see what is happening within a building/premises when compared, for example, with the information provided by a sequentially confirmed alarm, which may only indicate that an intruder has passed two points within a premises. Similarly, audio confirmation can be difficult to make sense of, in terms of understanding what the sounds indicate – potentially causing a delay in response.
Compared with sequential and audio methods, visual confirmation has moved to the fore in terms of its technological abilities, including reducing false alarm calls to the Police due to the advanced interrogation capability when monitored by an NSI- approved video monitoring centre (ARC or RVRC). It’s a reliable and proven method – hence the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s confidence in allowing it to be used as primary event confirmation.
VSS also offers the chance to use this equipment in external, perimeter-based
situations
Proactive Measures as
a proactive tool capable of
determining, for example, whether a person loitering should be reported as a potential risk/threat, thereby proving a more preventive tool, potentially avoiding a break-in and subsequent damage and related losses. This could be handled by an ARC/ RVRC operator viewing VSS images to warn the person that they are being monitored, using a public address system at the site and/or summon a keyholder as well as a commercial response provider.
These benefits to end users protected by a monitored VSS are also an advantage to the Police: the opportunity to detect and deter break-ins at the perimeter helps reduce pressure on police response resources by negating the escalation of incidents into intrusion attempts that subsequently warrant police alarm response to a confirmed break-in. Taking this preventative approach could also offer positive insurance premium implications.
