What is a remote security and guarding system?
A remote security and guarding system uses on-site surveillance cameras that are monitored by trained security professionals located off-site. OHZ systems combine human vigilance with advanced video analytics and AI, delivering faster, smarter protection for your property.
What type of internet connection do I need to support a remote security and guarding system?
A dedicated business-class broadband connection with a minimum of 1.5 mbps upload speed per camera is recommended. Faster connections ensure smooth video feeds without slowing down your network. No internet? No problem. OHZ can install a wireless modem to keep your system connected and secure.
Who handles installation?
OHZ handles everything from assessment to installation and beyond. We start with a full on-site threat analysis to identify risks and design a security plan that fits your property. Our team then installs or integrates your system into our Security Operations Center, supported by an artificial intelligence network, ensuring there are no blind spots, and complete functionality. Once installation is complete, we activate your system—customized to your specifications and unique security needs—and put your procedures and protocols into action.
Can you monitor my existing cameras?
Yes. OHZ can integrate with your existing camera network and, if necessary, we can add to your existing system to ensure it meets the highest security standards.
Will I have access to the video feeds for my on-site cameras?
Absolutely. You’ll have full access to your on-site cameras anytime through any internet-connected device. Once setup is complete, we’ll onboard anyone who needs viewing access.
How fast can OHZ detect threats?
Very fast. Our systems are optimized for each property and built with redundancy to ensure no lapse in coverage. Threats are detected and verified by OHZ guards within seconds.
What happens if we need to change property access, work late, and/or temporarily turn off my surveillance system? How do I notify OHZ?
Traditional motion sensors trigger an alert for any movement—whether it’s an intruder or just a flapping tarp. Over time, those constant false alarms cause people to stop checking them, especially at night when real problems are most likely to happen. AI technology changes that. It can tell the difference between harmless motion and a genuine threat. Every alert is verified by one of our highly trained OHZ remote guards, and when a real crime is in progress, they intervene immediately.
