In every industry, leadership is shaped over time. For video security, 2025 marked the moment when that leadership became unmistakable.
This year, Stealth Monitoring and ECAMSECURE officially came together under the GardaWorld banner to form ECAM, creating the largest video security provider in North America. By unifying industry-leading live video monitoring with proven mobile surveillance solutions, ECAM now operates at a scale no other provider can match.
The formation of ECAM was not a rebrand. It was the convergence of two market leaders with complementary strengths, brought together to redefine what video security can deliver.
The Foundation: Building Leadership in Mobile Surveillance
The ECAM story begins in 2019, when GardaWorld acquired ECAMSECURE.
At the time, ECAMSECURE was already a recognized leader in mobile surveillance, known for rapid deployment and the ability to secure sites where traditional security solutions were not practical. Under GardaWorld’s ownership, ECAMSECURE expanded its footprint across the U.S., refining its Mobile Surveillance Units and building the infrastructure required to support large, multi-site operations.
By focusing on speed, flexibility, and operational consistency, ECAMSECURE became one of the most trusted mobile surveillance providers in the industry.
Advancing Monitoring Excellence
In 2024, GardaWorld acquired Stealth Monitoring, an established leader in live video monitoring.
Stealth was widely known for its large-scale monitoring operations, trained operators, and verified response model. Its monitoring centers set the standard for uptime, accuracy, and real-time incident verification.
This acquisition significantly expanded GardaWorld’s monitoring capabilities and laid the groundwork for a more unified video security platform.
2025: The Formation of ECAM and a New Industry Leader
In 2025, these two industry leaders formally united as ECAM.
This moment marked the creation of North America’s largest video security provider, combining:
- The largest live video monitoring operations in North America
- A nationwide mobile surveillance footprint
- Local installation and service teams supported by national infrastructure
At more than 4X the size of its nearest competitor, ECAM entered the market as the clear category leader. For customers, this meant access to a single provider capable of delivering surveillance, monitoring, and response at unmatched scale.
Scale That Translates into Real-World Impact
ECAM’s leadership is defined not just by size, but by how quickly that scale has grown. In May 2025, ECAM monitored approximately 100,000 cameras across North America. By December, that number had grown to more than 140,000 cameras monitored every night, reflecting rapid adoption across both single-site and multi-site operations. In 2025, ECAM delivered protection across North America at a volume and consistency no other provider can replicate.
As ECAM’s footprint expanded across North America, operational performance remained consistently high. Even as the number of cameras monitored grew from approximately 100,000 to more than 140,000 in just a few months, ECAM maintained 99% system uptime, ensuring cameras stayed online and protected when clients needed them most. Detection accuracy reached 99%, allowing real threats to be identified quickly while minimizing false alarms and unnecessary disruptions. And with a 96% catch rate, nearly all real security incidents were detected and acted upon in real time. Achieving this level of performance across more than 140,000 cameras, night after night, highlights the reliability of ECAM’s operations at scale.
Advancing AI to Support Faster, Smarter Protection
ECAM’s scale also enables meaningful investment in artificial intelligence, focused on practical improvements rather than novelty.
Throughout 2025, ECAM advanced AI capabilities to:
- Improve detection accuracy across varied environments
- Reduce false alarms without slowing response
- Help operators identify and verify real threats more efficiently
AI is used to support trained professionals, ensuring faster awareness and more reliable response. These advancements help customers maintain consistent protection across diverse sites and conditions.

Expanding Protection Through Camera Takeover
In 2025, ECAM continued to expand its existing camera takeover capabilities, giving businesses a faster path to enhanced protection.
By integrating existing camera systems into ECAM’s live monitoring platform, customers can:
- Extend real-time monitoring without replacing infrastructure
- Reduce deployment timelines
- Standardize protection across legacy environments
Camera takeover plays a critical role for organizations managing large or distributed camera networks.

ECAM Central: One Platform Built for Scale
As ECAM’s footprint grew in 2025, so did the need for a simpler way for customers to manage security across sites, regions, and deployment types. ECAM Central was developed to meet that need.
ECAM Central provides customers with a single, centralized platform to view and manage their video security program, bringing together mobile surveillance units, fixed cameras, and live monitoring under one unified experience. Instead of managing security site by site, customers gain visibility and control across their entire operation.
Designed for both single-site and multi-site environments, ECAM Central helps organizations standardize security operations, improve situational awareness, and make faster, more informed decisions, all from one place.
What This Means for ECAM Customers
For customers, ECAM’s formation represents clarity and confidence in a crowded security landscape. The company’s rapid growth throughout 2025 reflects the trust businesses place in a provider built to scale quickly without compromising performance.
