"24/7 monitoring" is one of the most overused phrases in security. For an estate it should mean something specific: which events are watched, who watches them, and what happens next.

Monitoring is part of Qyvea's estate security solutions.

Who monitors

How Qyvea delivers it: Qyvea designs and installs the detection and alerting infrastructure and integrates the estate with a partner monitoring centre for round-the-clock monitoring. The same alerts can also go to the estate's own gatehouse or control room.

Whoever monitors, the system should filter alerts first. Intelligent analytics that separate people and vehicles from moving trees and animals are what make round-the-clock monitoring practical.

Camera health matters as much as intruders

The worst time to discover a camera stopped recording is after an incident. Health alerts flag offline cameras, recording failures and full storage early, and monthly reports show uptime to the committee.

Common Questions

Does Qyvea run its own monitoring centre?

Qyvea integrates estates with a partner monitoring centre, and can also route the same alerts to the estate's own gatehouse or control room.

Can residents view the cameras?

Viewing rights are set by the estate. Common practice is management and guards only, with footage released for specific incidents.

What is a camera health alert?

An automatic alert when a camera goes offline, stops recording or the recorder's storage is failing, so faults are fixed before footage is needed.
