Grade A1 Video Verification Monitoring
Video verification monitoring links alarm signals with CCTV so Grade A1 Monitoring operators can visually verify an alarm activation before a response is dispatched. When an alarm is triggered, the associated camera feeds are presented to the monitoring operator for immediate assessment.
StateGuard links alarm zones with the cameras covering those areas, allowing operators to assess whether an activation indicates a genuine intrusion, an environmental trigger or another nuisance event. Confirmed incidents can proceed to Alarm Response Services, while nuisance activations can be assessed and stood down without an unnecessary call-out.
StateGuard provides video verification monitoring 24/7 from its ASIAL-certified Grade A1 National Operations Centre in Melbourne, with alarm and CCTV information assessed in accordance with AS/NZS 2201.2-2022.
WHAT VIDEO VERIFICATION MONITORING COVERS
Alarm-triggered footage is assessed by licensed operators at our ASIAL-certified Grade A1 Monitoring Centre, ensuring action is taken only when an incident is visually confirmed.
Alarm-Triggered Camera Call-Up
When an Alarm activates, the associated Cameras are immediately presented to an operator. This allows the scene behind the Alarm to be assessed within moments, rather than waiting to review footage after the event.
Live Operator Assessment
A trained Grade A1 Operator reviews the live Camera View and determines whether the activation is a genuine threat, suspicious activity, or a False Alarm before escalation decisions are made.
Priority Response Escalation
Verified incidents are escalated in line with your agreed Response Plan, including Security Patrols, Nominated Contacts, or Emergency Services where appropriate. Each action is timestamped and documented for a clear Audit Trail.
False-Alarm Stand-Down
Non-genuine activations are stood down at the Monitoring Centre, reducing unnecessary call-outs and helping avoid costs or penalties associated with repeated False Alarms.
Audio Challenge & Deterrence
Where audio-enabled devices are installed, operators can issue live voice-down warnings to deter offenders and move them on before a physical response is required.
Evidence Capture & Logging
Operator Actions, Event Notes, and Verified Footage are recorded and timestamped, creating a reliable Evidence Trail for management review, insurers, WHS requirements, and investigations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Video Verification Monitoring?
Video Verification Monitoring is the alarm-to-CCTV confirmation layer. When an alarm triggers, a licensed operator visually checks the associated cameras to confirm whether the event is genuine before coordinating a response.
Does a human review every alarm?
Yes. Each triggered alarm is assessed by a licensed operator, who reviews the relevant camera view and determines whether the event requires escalation or can be stood down as a false alarm.
How does it reduce false alarms and costs?
Because non-genuine activations are verified and stood down at the monitoring centre, physical responses are only sent to confirmed incidents. This helps reduce unnecessary call-outs and may lower the risk of false alarm penalties.
Does it work with existing cameras?
In many cases, yes. StateGuard can integrate with common IP camera systems and alarm panels, often without requiring a full system replacement. Compatibility depends on your existing equipment and site setup.
How is this different from standard CCTV monitoring?
Standard CCTV monitoring may involve ongoing or scheduled camera observation. Video Verification Monitoring is triggered by an alarm event, allowing operators to visually confirm the cause of the alarm before taking action.
Is Video Verification Monitoring Grade A1 certified?
Yes. Licensed operators deliver the service from StateGuard’s ASIAL-certified Grade A1 Monitoring Centre in accordance with AS/NZS 2201.2-2022.
Does it improve response time for genuine incidents?
Yes. Because the incident is visually verified, response teams and nominated contacts can be provided with clearer information, helping prioritise genuine events and support faster decision-making.
Can operators issue audio warnings?
Yes. Where audio-enabled devices are installed, operators can issue live voice-down warnings to deter offenders and potentially resolve trespass or suspicious activity before a physical response is required.
What industries use Video Verification Monitoring?
Video Verification Monitoring is suitable for retail, commercial property, logistics, construction, critical infrastructure, industrial sites, car parks, and other locations where confirming alarms before dispatch improves security outcomes.
