Real-Time Audio Intervention That Stops Intruders Before They Break In

Two-way speakers let a live operator deliver audio intervention security monitoring, warning off an intruder the instant a threat is confirmed on camera. In most cases, a real human voice is enough to end an incident on the spot, before it becomes a break-in or a theft. We deliver this capability white label as part of your existing monitoring service, or directly if you’re protecting your own property.

A real voice stops most intruders on the spot

Real-time audio intervention pairs your camera system with two-way speakers and a live monitoring operator. When suspicious activity is confirmed on camera, the operator can speak directly to the person on site, in real time.

A recorded siren is easy to ignore. A live human voice, addressing someone by their exact location and actions, is not. In most cases, the person leaves before any further action is needed.

1Degree delivers this capability white label, backed by our operator bench and AI-assisted monitoring technology, so it becomes part of the service you already offer.

Common deterrence problems we eliminate

Many monitoring companies rely on sirens, flashing lights, or recorded messages that intruders learn to ignore. Real-time audio intervention adds a live human response instead.

Real-time audio intervention replaces these gaps with a live, recorded, and consistent response across every site on your account.

What powers our real-time audio intervention

Capabilities

Monitoring operator delivering a live audio warning from a security operations center

What real-time audio intervention looks like in practice

An operator reviewing live camera feed at a client site notices a person walking through a fenced lot after hours. Before dispatching anyone, the operator confirms the activity on camera, then issues a live warning through the on-site speaker, stating that the person is being watched and recorded. The person leaves the property within moments. No police response is needed, and the incident is logged with a timestamp for the account’s records.

Response times we track and report on

Every audio intervention is timestamped, from the moment a threat is confirmed to the moment a warning is issued. We track this internally and can share reporting with your team, so you always know how your accounts are being protected.
