The Difference Between Video Verification and ADT Guard
Unlike many video verification services in the market, ADT Guard’s live video monitoring takes the protection of your property and people to the next level.
The key difference lies in how events are visually confirmed:
- Traditional video verification: provides a short video clip (typically around 10 seconds) to a monitoring centre after an alarm is triggered to help assess whether an event has occurred and is legitimate.
- ADT Guard: alerts our monitoring centre when an event occurs and provides our operators access to live footage of your cameras — enabling us to intervene via talk down audio and calling authorities.
Traditional Alarm Monitoring
Conventional alarm systems rely on detection devices to establish security zones that trigger alerts based on movement or environmental changes.
- Uses sensors to detect motion, entry, or environmental changes to trigger alerts.
- Remains a reliable and cost-effective choice for many businesses and residential properties.
- Traditional video verification provides a short clip post-event but lacks real-time visibility.
- False alarms are more common without live confirmation, sometimes leading to delayed or limited emergency response.
ADT Guard Monitoring
Video-enabled alarm monitoring transforms on-site cameras into real-time security sensors, allowing for instant visual verification.
- A1-Graded Monitoring Centre prompts law enforcement to respond to events faster.
- AI-integrated live monitoring constantly tracks specified times, events and locations for more accurate threat detection.
- Real-time alerts allow for faster response times, increasing the chances of catching and prosecuting perpetrators in the act.
- Talk-down capabilities and police intervention provide a stronger deterrent, significantly improving asset protection.
- Integration with most camera systems enhances client confidence in the reliability of their security solution.
- Reducing the need for on-site personnel lowers expenses, making security more cost-effective for homes and small businesses.
- Flexible and scalable solutions easily adapt to evolving security needs.
- Multiple locations can be monitored from a centralised platform for comprehensive coverage.
FAQs

Do video cameras deter burglars?
Yes, video cameras can be a strong deterrent against burglaries. Criminals are less likely to target a property with visible video surveillance, knowing they’re being recorded.
ADT’s remote guarding services go a step further by combining cameras with live monitoring by security specialists. This means suspicious activity is detected in real-time, allowing for immediate intervention — whether through audio warnings, contacting law enforcement, or dispatching security officers when necessary.
What is remote security monitoring?
Remote security monitoring is a proactive approach to business security, where security specialists monitor live and recorded footage from smart cameras to detect and respond to potential threats.
Unlike traditional security, which relies solely on security guards, remote monitoring provides an added layer of protection by reducing false alarms, verifying threats, and ensuring a fast response. It’s a cost-effective alternative to maintaining large teams of on-site guards, while still providing reliable protection for businesses of all sizes.
