How the Included Monitoring Works
Monitoring is available 24/7 and is event-based; it is not a person watching a live feed for suspicious behavior. You define the hours when the site should be empty. During those hours, any person or vehicle the cameras detect triggers an alert, and police dispatch can be part of the response plan if you want it. Detection is all-or-nothing, so the system cannot currently single out details such as clothing color.
