Can I upgrade my existing cameras to live monitoring?
Yes. In many cases, Jatagan can upgrade your existing IP camera system from record-only to remote live monitoring, without replacing cameras.
We provide:
A plug-and-play Gateway Unit
24/7 in-house monitoring
Optional AI detection analytics
- Optional Alarm Deterrence Module (ADM) with audio-visual warnings (highly recommended)
Secure access to live and recorded footage
This transforms your system from passive recording to active threat detection and real-time response—with no unnecessary hardware replacement.
Why Record-Only Camera Systems Fail to Prevent Crime
A record-only camera system is helpful after an incident—but rarely stops one.
Common problems with outdated camera systems include:
You only review footage after theft or vandalism happens
No trained professionals actively watching in real time
No immediate escalation, deterrence, or response
High-risk zones go unprotected overnight
If you’re securing an outdoor site or high-value facility, this creates exposure that criminals exploit.
How Jatagan Turns Your Cameras Into a Live Monitored System
Jatagan’s nationwide monitoring services connect your existing IP cameras to our advanced monitoring network for real-time protection—turning passive recording into active crime prevention.
What you get when you upgrade:
✅ Remote live monitoring
✅ Real-time threat detection
✅ Secure access to live + recorded video
✅ Professional monitoring agents on duty 24/7
✅ Optional Alarm Deterrence Module (ADM) with powerful audio-visual warnings that help drive away intruders in real time (highly recommended)
✅ Optional AI-enhanced analytics
✅ Proven crime prevention of over 99.9% backed by 20+ years of results
Instead of collecting footage after a loss, you gain active threat detection, deterrence, and rapid response—helping reduce theft, vandalism, downtime, and losses.
What Is Jatagan’s Gateway Unit?
Jatagan’s Gateway Unit is a plug-and-play device that connects your existing camera system to Jatagan’s Monitoring Center.
Simple setup (no technical team needed for most sites)
You sign up for monitoring services
Jatagan ships a pre-configured Gateway Unit
You plug it into:
power
your network
Your cameras integrate automatically into our monitoring platform
No on-site IT required for most properties
Our Gateway Unit and ADM are designed for DIY installation, but we offer remote support or can arrange local assistance (e.g., mounting an ADM on a building wall) if needed. For high-security networks with multiple firewalls, our team will guide your IT staff through a secure setup process.
Alarm Deterrence Module (ADM): Real-Time Audio-Visual Warnings to Stop Intruders
Jatagan’s Alarm Deterrence Module (ADM) is an optional add-on (highly recommended) that helps prevent theft and trespassing in real time by delivering audio-visual warnings through your monitored security system.
When suspicious activity is detected on your cameras, our 24/7 monitoring agents can activate ADM to trigger bright strobe lighting and loud verbal or alarm-style announcements, making it clear the property is actively protected. This immediate deterrence often causes intruders to leave before damage or loss occurs, making ADM ideal for construction sites, industrial facilities, outdoor storage yards, and commercial properties.
By combining remote live video monitoring with proactive audio-visual deterrence, ADM turns your existing camera system into a true crime prevention solution, not just a recording tool.
The following video shows how the ADM drove away two intruders at the San Jose Children’s Museum, by which the museum’s camera system has been networked with our Monitoring Center using the Gateway Unit.
AI-Enhanced Video Analytics: Fewer False Alerts, Better Detection
False alerts are one of the biggest reasons security teams lose confidence in older camera systems.
That’s why Jatagan offers optional AI-enhanced detection analytics through our Monitoring Center.
AI-enhanced monitoring helps you:
Reduce false alerts triggered by weather, animals, or motion noise
Improve detection of people and vehicles
Increase response accuracy for real threats
Improve monitoring efficiency without missing critical events
AI enhances the stream analysis—so your monitoring is smarter, faster, and more reliable.
