Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we actually get asked by retailers. For pricing, scheduling and general enquiries, see our general FAQ.

Is people counting the same thing as security cameras?

It is the same cameras doing a second job. Occupancy tracking uses virtual tripwires to give a live headcount, and that number is useful to a floor manager for reasons that have nothing to do with theft. The security value does not go away; you simply stop paying for a camera that only earns its keep on the day something goes wrong.

Where people go, where they stop, and where they queue. Heat mapping and queue monitoring turn recorded video into a picture of how the shop actually works, which is generally more actionable than the theft footage everyone buys cameras for.

Retention depends on how the system is specified, so it is worth settling deliberately rather than accepting a default. Exporting is straightforward, and the file format for downloaded clips is a setting you can change, which matters when a police report or an insurer wants something specific. See changing the download file format.

Individually, and centrally. Alarm user codes are added through the customer website rather than the panel, and door credentials are granted or revoked from the dashboard with immediate effect across every door. A shared code that outlives every leaver is the thing to get rid of first. See how to add and manage users.

Yes. Permissions can be set by role, by department or by location, and access schedules limit entry by time of day. A forced or held door raises a real time alert rather than sitting in a log nobody opens.

Cancelled within 30 seconds, the signal is never transmitted, under the SIA false alarm reduction standard our monitoring follows. Past that we call to verify and ask for the abort code before standing anyone down, so every keyholder needs to know it. See what an abort code is.

Yes, and business permits often run on shorter terms than residential ones. Garden Grove issues business permits for one calendar year against three for a residence. An expired permit removes the free allowance entirely and makes every activation chargeable from the first. Check your city page.

Yes. Video, access and intrusion sit on one dashboard across locations, and users can be managed across all sites at once rather than store by store.

We do not provide guards ourselves, but the monitoring station can be programmed to dispatch a private guard, a patrol operator, a response service or the police, in whatever order suits the site. See guard and alarm response services.

Usually not, and it is better to say so than to promise it. Straightforward takeovers are rare and are normally only simple on systems we installed. What is possible depends entirely on the hardware in place, so it needs someone to look. See monitoring an existing or third party system.
