We watch your cameras. You get the call.

SightGuard connects to the DVR or NVR you already own. During your hours, a trained operator watches every view and phones you, or the person you choose, the moment something is wrong.

Most cameras only record. Someone checks the footage the next morning, after the car has gone and the till is short. We put a trained person on your cameras during the hours that matter, and that person calls you when something looks wrong.

Services

Live video monitoring

An operator watches your feeds in real time through your coverage hours: pumps, registers, aisles, docks, gates and driveways.

Alarm response

When an alarm trips or the operator sees trouble, we call you or your contacts in the order you set, and we stay on the cameras.

Cash office monitoring

Safe drops, till counts and who walks into the office. We tell you when cash is handled off camera or the safe is left open.

Hourly reports

Walk-ins, sales, thefts and staff time outside, sent in the chat you already use, with clips when something stands out.

Keep your cameras. We bring the people.

There is nothing to install and nothing to buy. You create a view-only login on your recorder, and we connect through the same app you use on your phone.

FAQ

Do I need to buy new cameras or equipment?

No. We monitor the cameras you already have through your DVR or NVR. If you can open your cameras on your phone, we can usually connect too.

What happens when an operator sees something?

We call you, or the people on your call list, right away and tell you what we see and on which camera. We keep watching while you decide the next step, and we save the clip.

Which hours can you cover?

Night only, 18 hours a day, or 24/7. We set the coverage window around your site's hours.

How much does it cost?

$199 a month for nights, $249 for 18 hours a day and $299 for 24/7. Prices are per location.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with 7 days free, so you can see how we work before you pay.

Do you send guards?

No. We are a remote monitoring company, so we watch and we call. If your site needs someone to step in physically, keep a guard for those hours and let us cover the rest.
