What Alarm.com commercial video includes

According to Alarm.com, the commercial video line includes:

• Commercial-grade cameras: Pro Series cameras with options such as 4MP HDR video, IR night vision and varifocal lenses. Alarm.com lists NDAA-compliant options in its commercial line.
• 24/7 recording: onboard camera recording or recording to the Commercial SVR, with a 24/7 timeline to find and export footage.
• The Commercial SVR: Alarm.com states its Commercial SVR records up to 16 cameras at up to 4MP, offers built-in PoE options and supports third-party cameras that use ONVIF or Axis VAPIX.
• AI video analytics: detect people and vehicles in the zones you choose while ignoring motion such as rain or shadows, with real-time alerts for after-hours activity.
• Perimeter Guard and AI deterrence: Alarm.com's proactive defense features, designed to deter people in protected areas after hours. BTI confirms which cameras support them.
• Business Activity Analytics: customer flow insights from your cameras to help with staffing and operations.
• Video event search: search for events instead of scrubbing through hours of footage.
• Video health monitoring: alerts if a camera goes offline, stops recording or is blocked, plus storage and retention reporting.
• Cell Connector for Video: an LTE connection for cameras where there is no network, a limited network or IT restrictions.

Keep the cameras you have

Many businesses already own cameras. Alarm.com states that cameras using ONVIF or Axis VAPIX can connect to its Commercial SVR. As an Axis Gold Partner, BTI checks your current cameras during the site assessment and tells you which can stay and which should be replaced.

How BTI delivers Alarm.com commercial video

Quote and design. BTI plans camera placement, fields of view, lighting, mounting heights, recording and retention, and network or cellular connections. We map cameras to doors, registers, docks and perimeters so the analytics have the right views. Request a quote or book a free consultation to start.

Sales. BTI recommends Alarm.com video when you want cameras, alarm and access control in one app. For larger camera counts or video management needs, BTI may recommend OpenEye, Alarm.com's commercial cloud video platform, instead or alongside. See OpenEye cloud video and OpenEye recorders.

Installation. BTI technicians install cameras, the Commercial SVR, PoE switching and cabling, then set analytics zones, alert rules and user access, and train your team on the app.

Licensing. Alarm.com video features, such as cloud clips, analytics and video health reporting, run on an Alarm.com service plan provided through your dealer. BTI explains the plan your cameras and features need when we quote.

Monitoring. Add remote video monitoring and BTI staff and BTI's central stations review event video, warn intruders through on-site speakers and call police when needed. Video verification helps police prioritize the call.

Service and support. BTI's local technicians handle camera service, lens and view adjustments, recorder health and analytics tuning after go-live.

BTI's view: getting real value from business cameras

Cameras that nobody looks at only help after something goes wrong. The businesses that get the most from Alarm.com video set it up to work for them:

• Aim for faces and plates where it counts. Entrances, registers and gates need closer views than wide parking lot shots. BTI plans lenses and mounting heights for each job.
• Use analytics zones, not motion everywhere. Person and vehicle zones on fences, docks and doors cut alert noise so your team pays attention when an alert comes in.
• Watch video health. A camera that went offline last month is the most common surprise after an incident. Video health alerts catch it early.
• Decide who responds. Alerts to managers work during business hours. After hours, remote video monitoring puts trained operators on every event.
