This allows us to verify threats, minimise false alarms, and ensure the right response—faster police action or avoiding costly guard call-outs. It’s a smarter, cost-effective way to protect what matters most.

Why Video Verification?

Catch Burglers!

Police love hearing that we can see a burglary in progress.

Less Phone Calls!

Checking cameras during an alarm activation can reduce annoyance to customers with less phone calls

Save Money

All it takes is one guard call out saved in the month and you have saved the customer money.

Plugs the DIY Gap!

Customers are attracted to the bells and whistles of the DIY products. These solutions allow us to pull video into the AW app.

Makes Alarms Smarter!

Most customers have independent alarm system, and camera system, these solutions can connect the two, getting more bang for buck.

Better Customer Service!

We can be more helpful to customers.

No More Monitoring Blind

The days of monitoring blind are fading away. We have integrated all major video verification solutions, which provide operators with visual access during an activation. This enhancement not only boosts the likelihood of a police response but also lowers the expenses associated with guard call-outs.

With a variety of options available, don’t hesitate to reach out to any of our experts to explore which solution would best suit your customer’s needs:

Permaconn

When an alarm is triggered, the Permaconn Video Verification service will capture a short video clip or image from the camera nearest the violated alarm zone and deliver it directly to the operator’s automation software screen. The operator clicks on the link in the automation software to immediately view the related video clip. This clip is stored in the Permaconn cloud and can be immediately retrieved at any time during the next 30 days. After 30-days, the Permaconn service will automatically archive the video for five years to meet the necessary record-keeping regulations.

Pros

Acts as an alarm communicator as well as video verification product
Can use 4G as backup path for video transmission (cost applies)
Unlimited cameras and rules
Can use inputs and/or CID string to trigger video
Can have an 8 input expander added, giving 11 inputs total
Virtual patrols option available
Remote configurable
If video verification not required later, unit still operates as an alarm communicator

Cons

4G Back up uses datapacks (extra charge)

Where to Buy

Pricing EX GST

Use this solution if you want to integrate with an intruder alarm, manage numerous cameras and sensors with unlimited rules (multiple cameras per input and inputs per camera), and, as an added bonus, it has the Virtual Patrol option. If the customer has existing alarm monitoring, you can also swap out their current communicator for the PM54 and get dual use!

Set up Tips for permaconn

Activate unit through Atlas and select video service option and pick the data plan

In the options, select “Video Config”

Select “Add Device” to set up system

Options will vary based on NVR/VMS Cameras. Select either a static image or a video clip to be sent to Alarm Watch. If sending a video clip then select the duration of the clip to be sent. Click save to complete.

Next you will need to setup your video verification rules, click on add rule

The video verification system provides two options to trigger a capture:

1. Alarm panel event:

The system will perform a capture when the alarm panel sends an event. You pair your cameras to capture from zone or partitions

2. PM54 Input:

The system can also be configured to perform a capture if a change on the input is detected on the pm54.

To prevent the system from taking excessive captures, and thus exhausting the data plan, the rule can be configured to stop capturing after a number of clips and only resume once the alarm panel stops transmitting. The backoff time after which the system will start acting on events again can be configured.
