Read full description

AwareNet allows authorized reviewers to monitor and review security camera video for participating communities and other locations. Customer-owned cameras send automated motion-alert clips to AwareNet, where events are consolidated into a focused monitoring workflow. Reviewers can inspect alerts, filter by location and camera, review person and vehicle activity, add comments, manage notification preferences, and access reports. AwareNet is built for neighborhoods and commercial sites that need coordinated camera alert monitoring by professional security officers, employees, or community volunteers. Access is limited to approved users for participating locations.
