BOCA RATON, Fla. — ADT has added video verification services specifically designed for small and medium-sized businesses to its Pulse solution.
A multistep alarm verification process, which includes video verification, has the potential to vastly cut down on false alarms and increase police response, according to a press release. Video-enhanced alarm systems can provide police with valuable information during the dispatch process. Visually confirming a human presence in a facility is significant and desirable information for police when responding to an alarm.
Along with providing actionable data and analytics related to events at businesses, ADT Pulse stores video for 30 days. Users have the ability to connect and monitor up to 10 cameras per location. Other feature sets include managing remote lighting and temperature control, and wireless arm/disarm alarm systems from almost any web-enabled device.
“Adding video alarm verification features to our award-winning Pulse platform was a natural extension for this solution,” says Ray North, ADT’s director, service platforms. “Pulse has been delivering state-of-the-art alarm management capabilities to our small business clients for years, with video alarm verification we can now offer the same benefits that Pulse has always offered coupled with the potential to reduce false alarm dispatches and improved response times from local authorities —a win-win for everyone involved.”
