Remote Video Patrol
read moreBy incorporating CCTV cameras into your alarm system, our dispatchers are able to verify the alarm, determine if it's a threat, and immediately alert law enforcement AND a specified contact. Urban Alarm has contributed to our fair share of theft and break-in arrests. We can also monitor for tenant infractions, and help reduce the cost of ongoing repairs and maintenance by proactively addressing loitering or identifying vandals. Our dispatchers can also evaluate video at certain times of the day or night.

Urban Alarm designs and implements video surveillance systems using advanced video analytics, and in conjunction with traditional "trip-wire" security systems.

Mobile Security Patrols for Commercial
read moreCommercial property owners understand the importance of making sure doors are locked, checking for leaks, and noticing vandals - but the cost of a full-time security officer can be astronomical. Especially when you're required to pay for a full 8-hour day, even though certain patrolling functions don't take hours. Imagine paying only for the time it actually takes - imagine a patrol service like Urban Alarm Commercial Mobile Patrol. Only pay for the person while they're on patrol of your property.
