Alarm Monitoring
Scutum Digital's alarm monitoring utilises Sentinel Plus software and advanced sensors to detect intrusions, fire, or environmental hazards. Our 24/7 operators guarantee immediate response, audio challenges, and emergency service dispatch. Verified alerts ensure compliance with UK fire service protocols, while integration with CCTV and AI analytics minimises false alarms. Clients benefit from scalable solutions for commercial, industrial, and high-hazard sites.
CCTV Monitoring
Our NSI Gold BS 8418-compliant CCTV monitoring combines Sentinel Plus software with AI analytics to detect unauthorised access. Operators provide real-time response, PTZ camera control, and evidence logging. False alarm filtering reduces nuisance alerts by 93%, while integration with access control systems enhances security. Ideal for blue-chip companies, healthcare facilities, and critical infrastructure requiring 24/7 visual verification and rapid police dispatch.
Fire Test Desk
The Fire Test Desk offers 24/7 automated fire alarm testing via a dedicated phone line. Users can temporarily deactivate systems, conduct tests, and reactivate alarms without operator intervention. This service ensures compliance with fire safety regulations while minimising downtime. Detailed logs and confirmation reports support NSI requirements, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses needing frequent fire system maintenance.
Vehicle Tracking
NSI Gold CAT5-accredited vehicle tracking provides real-time location monitoring and theft recovery assistance. Our SOC centre offers direct police communication, immobiliser override, and geo-fence alerts. Systems detect unauthorised movement, alarm triggers, or immobiliser breaches, with incident reports available within 24 hours. Tailored for fleet operators and telematics providers requiring Thatcham-compliant security and 24/7 asset protection.
Manned Guarding
SIA-licensed manned guarding services offer visible deterrence for retail, industrial, and government sites. Guards perform patrols, access control, and emergency response, complemented by key holding and mobile patrols. NSI Gold BS 7984-3-certified teams handle high-security environments, including military and healthcare facilities. Customisable schedules and integration with alarm/CCTV systems ensure comprehensive protection for short-term events or permanent installations.
