Monitor and Control Access To Your Building
Maximize security for your office building, industrial site or apartment complex with a remote gate control solution from ECAM.

Jason Hawkins Vice President of Construction | MT Builders

Major Benny Jones Lambert International Airport Police
“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.“
Scott Caulfield Health & Safety Rep | Mattamy Homes
“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.“
Captain Terrence Sullivan 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.“

F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can your system capture license plates?
We do offer solutions specifically designed for license plate capture. Standard monitoring cameras focus on broader activity, but we can install specialized License Plate Recognition (LPR) cameras that are positioned and configured to capture clear plate details—day or night—when that level of detail is needed.
Who is watching the site?
ECAM’s trained security operators monitor your site from one of our multiple 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.
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.
What sets your technology apart from competitors?
Our technology stands out because it’s built for proactive, real-time protection of properties across a range of industries. We combine advanced AI-driven technology with live monitoring by trained security professionals. This helps enable immediate response to potential threats as they happen to help protect valuable assets.
What solutions do you offer for remote or hard-to-reach locations without power or reliable internet?
For challenging environments, we offer Mobile Surveillance Units (MSUs), self-contained systems built specifically for sites without access to power or the internet. These units are equipped with solar panels, backup batteries, and cellular connectivity, making them ideal for remote energy facilities, substations, storage yards, and construction zones.
Do you offer hybrid security solutions that combine physical guards with virtual monitoring?
Yes, we provide hybrid security solutions that integrate physical guard services with our advanced virtual monitoring technology. This approach gives you the best of both worlds: real-time video surveillance and intervention from trained remote operators, plus onsite response and presence from licensed security guards.
How can I understand the ROI of your services before making a decision?
We understand that ROI is a key factor in your decision-making process. That’s why we focus on thorough discovery and detailed documentation tailored to your property. By identifying specific challenges, like crime rates, liability risks, or security costs, we can show you how our solution helps reduce expenses and protect assets, giving you clear insights into your return on investment.
Are there ways to reduce upfront costs?
We offer flexible options to help reduce upfront costs. In addition to traditional purchase models, we provide leasing and subscription-based solutions that spread out expenses over time. This allows you to implement advanced security technology without a large capital investment.
How can your system integrate with our existing guard services?
Our proactive solution is designed to enhance on-site guard services. We act as a virtual extension of your security team, providing eyes on many areas of the property, including those that guards can’t always reach. When suspicious activity is detected, our operators can contact on-site guards to coordinate a timely response.
Does your reporting software capture metric data to show ROI?
Yes, our reporting software is designed to help demonstrate the value of our services by capturing key metrics, such as the estimated cost savings of each prevented incident (e.g., $2,250 per vandalism). We’re also exploring enhancements through our Connect App to automate and streamline this reporting — something no other provider offers.
