Virtual guard escorts
Closing shifts, late site visits and dark parking structures are when people feel least safe. With a virtual guard escort, a live VDS operator follows the walk on your cameras from start to finish.
- Live operator on camera
- Parking lots and garages
- After-hours staff and tenants
Someone is watching the walk
A virtual escort uses the cameras already covering your property. An operator picks up the person on live video and stays with them through the garage, across the lot or out to the gate until they are safely inside their vehicle or off property.
Escorts are configured around your custom site protocol—whether through scheduled closing-shift windows (such as dealership or retail lockup) or a direct check-in with our 24/7 monitoring desk before stepping out. If anything looks wrong along the route, the operator immediately intervenes over on-site speakers, alerts your designated contact or dispatches local law enforcement.
- Scheduled closing-shift or on-demand 24/7 check-in
- Live camera-to-camera tracking across lots & garages
- Instant two-way audio warning if someone approaches
- Direct police dispatch & timestamped video log
