Testimonials What Our Clients Say About Our Solutions
We’ve deployed numerous trailers with ECAM, and with every order, we’ve given a lot of feedback, and every new order is then built to our specifications, which has helped with our deployment and with how we use our trailers in the city of Oxford.

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.
