Since the Partnership for Priority Video Alarm Response group was introduced a primary point of discussion has been whether it would continue to operate as an independent organization or whether it would be absorbed by an established industry organization like CSAA or ESA, in order to ensure that the message sent to law enforcement and insurers was cohesive and representative of the whole industry.
Protection 1, Romeoville, Ill., partnered with I-View Now to enable cloud-based video services. The integration of the I-View Now technology enables receipt of alarm video — both pre- and post-alarm — in Protection 1’s security automation system by alarm center agents, as well as simultaneous delivery to customer mobile devices and event storage on the customer’s eSuite Web-based account.
A new organization is bringing security manufacturers, central stations and dealers together with law enforcement officials and insurance companies to reduce property losses resulting from burglaries and increase arrests that get criminals off the streets.
