Frequently Asked Questions

For Action-CS, the answer is all of them. Our systems are passive. Simply waiting for signals, our systems listen on the data line and parse out Digital or Alarm out and Strobe lights are engaged, Audio out and our loudspeakers begin broadcast. It is that simple.

So, if you want Motion Detection, Facial Rec, Heat Mapping, Line Crossing, Intrusion Detection, Object Counting, People Counting, Face Detection, License Plate Recognition, Video Analytics, Trip Wire, Abandoned Object & much more.

You simply press the Digital Out button within your mobile app or VMS. Press again, to turn them off.

The Action-CS cameras are part of the Crime Deterrent System that allow you or our monitoring team to engage any criminal activity and deter it from happening, often before the need to file an insurance claim. They are truly plug and play, cloud hosted camera systems. Far cheaper than mobile trailer solutions. We are cost effective and simpler to install.

Yes, the analytics can be set to turn on lights if motion is detected or a trigger is sensed (Loitering, line cross, etc) 

Yes, You simply press the Audio Out button within your mobile app or VMS.

Yes, the analytics can be set to trigger audio play over the loudspeakers upon specific detected events.  To avoid false alarms we highly recommend monitoring for verification 

The cameras have onboard storage and will automatically record to themselves in an internet outage for up to 2 weeks. Once the internet is restored, they will push all that recorded footage back to the cloud seamlessly. 

 If power is lost, like any other system the cameras will go down if they’re not on a battery backup. Once power is restored, the cameras will come right back and connect to the cloud within minutes.  

The owner can monitor the cameras and receive email alerts from anywhere! They can also pay for our partners to live monitor their cameras, under their directions, and engage any illicit activity through the Crime Deterrent System!

In addition to live monitoring and remote engagement, we can also dispatch the customers' security guards or our own local guards to engage the situation and prevent that crime from happening!
