Client reviews
What clients say.
★★★★★
Three factor installed our camera which we use every day... Without the cameras our neighbors would have lost their home and most likely we would have as well. The cameras are a life saver.
★★★★★
Our company had surveillance cameras installed throughout the perimeter of our warehouse by Three Factor Security and they did a great job with installation and setup.
★★★★★
After calling numerous companies about getting a security system installed on our apartment building, I was pleasantly surprised when the kind people at Three Factor not only answered, but were actually knowledgeable and very helpful.
Common questions
Clear answers before the project begins.
These answers explain practical planning considerations for this service. Final recommendations are based on a professional assessment, the existing infrastructure, the property’s operating needs, and the systems selected.
What does a virtual security guard service do?
Supported camera and analytic events can be reviewed remotely by professional operators. Depending on the agreement, the service may include video verification, authorized audio talk-down, notifications, dispatch coordination, and incident reporting. The property’s selected technology and approved service scope determine what is available.
Does remote guarding include an on-site guard?
Remote operator review and an on-site security presence are separate responsibilities. Any patrol or field-response service must be explicitly included in the relevant agreement with its provider.
Can existing cameras support virtual guarding?
They may, after the monitoring provider’s compatibility requirements, camera views, event support, audio hardware, communications, and power are reviewed. A camera that records locally may not support the event delivery or operator workflow required for the selected remote service.
Who operates the monitoring service and who configures the system?
Independent monitoring providers perform professional monitoring. Three Factor Security configures and integrates supported technology and coordinates the agreed scope. Monitoring hours, operator actions, reporting, contacts, and any separate field response should be clear in the written service arrangements.
