Office Monitoring

Protect your office, your equipment and your business with an intelligent monitoring solution designed for small companies. SATS Office Monitoring, powered by Cerberus™, brings compatible video surveillance, security sensors and other monitoring devices together under one centralized monitoring solution.

Already have security cameras or other monitoring equipment? Keep them. As long as the Cerberus agent can receive messages and events from that hardware, compatible devices can become part of the SATS monitoring environment.

USE YOUR EXISTING VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

SATS small Office Monitoring can work with compatible video surveillance technology already installed at your office. There is no need to replace a working system simply because you want centralized professional monitoring.

Depending on your equipment, Cerberus can receive information from devices such as:

• Security video cameras
• Door and window open/close sensors
• Motion detectors
• Window and glass-break detectors
• Smoke detectors
• Water-leak detectors
• Other compatible security and monitoring devices

ONE INTELLIGENT MONITORING SYSTEM

SATS delivers an intelligent alarm and monitoring system powered by Cerberus™. The system integrates multiple compatible security devices under a single monitoring solution and provides authorized end-users with interactive remote access from virtually anywhere.

A typical small-office installation may include wireless sensors, security video cameras and other devices, all remotely connected through the Cerberus monitoring architecture to Cerberus Central.

Instead of operating a collection of disconnected alarms and applications, the business gains one central point where security events can be received, reviewed and acted upon.

HUMAN-VERIFIED ALERTS

When Cerberus receives an alert, a live SATS monitoring professional verifies whether the alert appears to be genuine or a false positive.

The monitoring professional checks the relevant information available from the monitored office, including security cameras and logs from applicable monitoring devices.

If the alert is determined to be genuine, the SATS monitoring professional takes the action specified in advance by the end-user.

The requested action may be to:

• Notify the end-user
• Notify another person designated by the end-user

REMOTE ACCESS FROM ANYWHERE

Authorized users can access Cerberus monitoring information remotely, allowing business owners and designated personnel to remain connected to their office while away from the premises.

Depending on the devices connected to the system, Cerberus can report events such as:

• A door or window being opened or closed
• Motion detected in a monitored area
• A glass-break event
• A smoke-detector alert
• A water leak
• A video-surveillance event
• Other conditions reported by compatible monitoring hardware

MORE THAN A TRADITIONAL ALARM

Security problems are not limited to unauthorized entry. An unattended office can also be damaged by smoke, water or other conditions detected by compatible sensors.

By bringing different monitoring devices into the Cerberus environment, SATS provides a broader view of what is happening at the monitored location.

PHYSICAL SECURITY MEETS SATS MONITORING TECHNOLOGY

Cerberus was developed by SATS as an intelligent monitoring platform and a single point of control for heterogeneous environments. Office Monitoring extends that approach to compatible physical-security devices.

Cameras, sensors and other devices provide the signals. Cerberus brings those signals together. A live SATS monitoring professional verifies the event when an alert occurs.

Technology detects. A person verifies. SATS notifies.

DESIGNED FOR SMALL BUSINESS

Every office is different. SATS can configure Office Monitoring around the compatible security devices already installed at your location and the monitoring requirements of your business.

The service can be used by businesses such as:

• Professional offices
• Medical and dental offices
• Accounting and financial offices
• Law offices
• Technology companies
• Retail and service businesses
• Small warehouses
• Remote or unattended offices
• Server and equipment rooms
• Small businesses with multiple locations

WHY SATS SMALL OFFICE MONITORING?

• Use compatible equipment you already own. Existing video and security equipment may be integrated when the Cerberus agent can receive its messages and events.
• Centralized monitoring. Bring events from multiple compatible devices into one monitoring environment.
• Human verification. A live SATS monitoring professional reviews relevant camera information and device logs when an alert is received.
• End-user-defined response. For a verified event, SATS follows the notification instructions specified by the end-user.
• Remote visibility. Authorized users can access Cerberus monitoring information remotely.
• Powered by Cerberus™. The service uses SATS monitoring technology designed to bring heterogeneous systems into a centralized monitoring environment.
