NVMC Deploys SightLogix in Immix to Reduce Nuisance Alarms & Increase Efficiency
National Video Monitoring (NVMC), established in 2007, is one the largest and oldest focused-providers of live video monitoring in the U.S. The company, based in Marietta, Ga., provides both a direct sale and installation offering, as well as a channel partner program across the U.S. In 2017 alone NVMC issued more than 5,000 police reports, saving customers an estimated $20 million in potential losses.
Those successes aside, the company has long struggled with the same primary issue that plagues all video monitoring providers: excessive nuisance or unwanted video alarms. Nuisance alarms typically come in two different forms: false alarms triggered by camera technology that mistakenly detects animals, weather, insects, trees, flags, shadows and myriad other object movements; and false-positive alarms that detect human or vehicle activity on-site, when in fact that activity is actually authorized and, thus, should not be something the monitoring center should receive.
