Run · Off-Site Monitoring · 24/7

Watching is not monitoring.

Our operators, on Swiss Core, watching your cameras around the clock. The platform triages with AI, tells the operator the SOP, dispatches response, packages the evidence — and you see every action in a monthly report.

For estates, business parks, warehouses, retail and security companies that have cameras but no one accountable for what happens between alarms.

Why this, and not a screen on the wall

Cameras record. Monitoring decides.

Most sites have footage of the incident and nobody who saw it happen. Off-site monitoring puts a trained operator and an AI layer between the camera and the outcome — so the response happens during the event, not the morning after.

AI does the staring

Swiss Core analyses every stream in the background — people, vehicles, direction, loitering, open gates — and raises only what the site defines as abnormal. Operators are never asked to watch 200 tiles.

The SOP is enforced, not remembered

When an event fires the operator sees the exact steps, contacts and escalation for that site. Every step is logged with a timestamp and a clip. New operators are effective on night one.

Evidence and accountability

Every action ties back to footage at that moment. Skipped patrols are flagged automatically. Monthly reports show response times, events, patrols and exceptions per site.

How an event runs

From a person at the fence to a closed incident — in minutes, all logged.

00:00

Detect

Swiss Core flags a person crossing a drawn line at the perimeter, 02:14. Camera 12, north fence.

00:10

Verify

Operator views the live tile and the 10-second pre-roll. Confirms an intruder, not a guard on patrol.

00:30

Act per SOP

Audio warning over the site speaker, armed response dispatched from the SOP contact list, site manager SMS'd.

04:00

Escort & close

Operator tracks the intruder across cameras and talks the response vehicle in. Incident closed with outcome.

06:00

Evidence pack

Clips, snapshots, timeline and call log packaged and emailed. It appears in the monthly report automatically.

What's included

The service, end to end.

Hosting in our data centre

Cameras and NVRs seeded into Swiss Core in our Tier-3 Johannesburg facility. No OEM server, no cupboard.

24/7 operators

Trained, vetted operators on shift around the clock, working exceptions the AI raises and the patrols the SOP schedules.

Virtual patrols

Timed camera tours per site with proof of completion. Missed or late tours are flagged and reported.

Audio & response

Live audio warnings where speakers exist; armed-response and key-holder dispatch from the site's SOP contacts.

Evidence packs

Incident timelines with clips and snapshots, hash-stamped and exportable for clients, insurers and SAPS.

Monthly reporting

Events, response times, patrols, footfall and vehicle flow per site — branded, scheduled, delivered.

Camera health

Offline cameras, obstructed views and low-bandwidth sites raised as tickets — before they matter at 02:00.

LTE-friendly

Low-bitrate background analysis and per-camera choices keep capped fibre and LTE sites within limits.

Customer Zone

Log in to see your own sites, events, snapshots and reports — and ask the chat what happened last night.

Cover options

Questions we get asked

Straight answers.

Do we need new cameras or a new NVR?

No. Swiss Core seeds any IP camera, NVR or VMS — Dahua, Hikvision, ONVIF, RTSP — over your existing link. If your cameras are usable for evidence today, they are usable for monitoring tomorrow. We'll tell you honestly if a camera is positioned or lit too badly to be useful.

What exactly does an operator do on my site?

Whatever your SOP says. Typically: respond to AI-triggered events within seconds, verify on live video, call the site contact or dispatch armed response, run scheduled virtual patrols, log every action with a clip, and hand over to the day shift with a report. The SOP is written with you and enforced by the platform.

How is this different from an alarm company's monitoring?

Alarm monitoring reacts to a contact closing. We watch video: an operator sees a person at the fence line before the fence is cut, and AI does the watching between events so nothing is missed on camera 47 at 03:00. Every event has footage, not a signal code.

Where are the cameras hosted and the recordings kept?

In our Tier-3 Johannesburg data centre on servers we own, with 100 kVA redundant power and 10 Gbps redundant fibre. Retention is set per site and camera. POPIA-aligned by geography and by access control.

What does it cost?

Per camera and per site, monthly, including hosting, the Swiss Core platform, the control room and reporting. Armed response is your existing provider or one we arrange; we dispatch, they respond. We quote the real number after a site assessment.

Can our own control room use Swiss Core instead?

Yes. Security companies license Swiss Core as SaaS and run their own operators on it. This page is for customers who want us to run the control room for them.

Book a 30-minute walkthrough. We'll show you a live operator dashboard, the virtual-patrol cadence, the SOP engine, and how alarm-to-action time is measured. Real evidence, not promises.

01

Any camera, hosted by us

Dahua, Hikvision, ONVIF, RTSP — seeded into our data centre, no OEM server required.

02

AI-triaged, SOP-driven

The platform watches every stream; operators handle the exceptions with the script in front of them.

03

Evidence you can use

Every action tied to a clip. Monthly reports your board, insurer or client will actually read.
