F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions for the Metals & Mining Industry
Who is watching the site?
ECAM’s trained security operators monitor your site from one of our seven monitoring centers. Having multiple centers is a major advantage that ensures system redundancy and reliability. In the rare event of a catastrophic failure or emergency at one location, monitoring can seamlessly shift to another monitoring center, so your site is always protected without interruption.
What happens when you see something suspicious on a site?
When an operator detects suspicious activity, an escalation specialist is notified. That specialist conducts a thorough investigation, which may include reviewing additional camera angles and gathering more context to assess the situation. Based on their findings, the appropriate action is taken—whether it’s issuing a live audio warning, notifying onsite guards and site contacts, or dispatching law enforcement.
How do they know what to watch on a site?
Our operators detect activity using two key methods:
Alarms triggered by our proprietary software and systems—these alert operators to potential suspicious activity in real time.
Video Guard Tours (VGTs) — as an added layer of protection, operators manually scan through all site cameras several times an hour. This helps ensure nothing is missed.
What if I need video footage to be reviewed?
Our dedicated video review team handles that for you. We know your time is valuable, so instead of spending hours searching through footage, you can simply submit a request and let our experts locate and review the video for you.

Steve Zimmerman Owner | Green Earth Realty
Since we’ve partnered with ECAM and GardaWorld, we’ve seen a significant decrease in trespassers, loitering, and people coming off of persons experiencing homelessness encampments onto our property, so that is a significant cost savings for Foothill Transit.
John Curley Chief of Safety and Security | Foothill Transit
ECAM makes it very easy for me to check up on my sites by giving me an app on my phone that allows me to check any camera on the site at any time of the day. If I see something wrong with the system while checking my phone, I can contact someone in customer service who will also assist me with other camera views or anything else I need.

The Hanover Sheriff’s Office has been proud to partner with ECAM. Their camera trailers serve as a deterrent to criminal activity and have been so well received by our business community that requests for their use are frequent. Overall this system has been a valuable addition to the crime prevention tool box utilized by the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office.

One of the great things about ECAM is they were able to tailor make exactly what we needed here at the Port. So, I am a believer in ECAM, and anytime I reach out to other local law enforcement agencies or any partners, I always tell them how wonderful ECAM is.
Lieutenant Rosario Ferrara Los Angeles Port Police
We’ve noticed that since we placed the MSU’s in our parking lots we don’t get the vandalism, as much theft, and things seem to be kind of mellowing out. We see this partnership with ECAM as a positive thing and we’re just going to ride that positive wave.
