The Monitoring Association (TMA) announced that David Charney, chief customer officer, Stealth Monitoring, has accepted the position of co-chair of the TMA Surveillance and Video Verification (SVV) Committee. Charney joins Wes Usie, committee co-chair, Guardian Alarm Systems. 

“It has been so valuable to have access to my peers to discuss new ideas and to brainstorm various viable solutions to some common challenges that I have faced. We can all learn from each other,” said Charney, who founded Stealth Monitoring with his father and brother.  

“David’s passion for his work is evident in how he interacts within the TMA community,” said Celia T. Besore, CEO, TMA. “He brings a distinct energy to his new volunteer role that will certainly draw the attention and interest of other members who have an interest in video surveillance.

The Committee will achieve much under David and Wes’s able leadership.”

TMA’s Surveillance and Video Verification Committee’s primary mission is to promote, advocate and educate on the use of indoor and outdoor video monitoring using enhanced video verification practices in the professional monitoring industry. Its overarching goal is to reduce false alarms and false dispatches through video verification.
