Monitronics Offers Remote Video Capabilities to Dealers

DALLAS, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- What would it mean for business owners if they could actually see what's happening at their property while they're away? As part of their ISC West appearance, home security alarm provider Monitronics is answering that question: Authorized dealers will now be able to offer leading-edge technology to their commercial clients through remote video capabilities.

Through an exclusive partnership with Alarm.com and G.E., Monitronics dealers will have access to these hugely popular video products and packages, which help customers feel more connected to their alarm system and often lowers attrition.  

"This is a huge step forward for our dealers, who now can offer customers the option of watching live video streams or recorded video clips on their cell phone, PDA, or online," said Mitch Clarke, Vice President of Marketing. "We see video as the next leap forward in our industry, something that everyone will be offering in a few years—we are early adopters."  

Monitronics authorized dealers will be able to offer options for outdoor and night-vision cameras to monitor what goes on in a business. These include a variety of security-grade IP video cameras with built-in Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity, requiring only a high-speed Internet connection and a power outlet. The videos are stored remotely on the servers at Alarm.com, which means that customers will be able to view both live and recorded clips anytime by cell phone, PDA, or Internet.
