About Verdun

Traditional security camera monitoring is vaporware. Your sites aren't actually being protected. A monitoring center's video alarm queue is managed by operators who are flooded by alarms during peak activity - meaning it often takes 20+ minutes for them to even see your alarm. When you call an airline and get placed on hold for a long time only for an offshore operator to tell you he can't solve your problems, this is the security equivalent. We've built the world's most advanced monitoring center run by AI agents identify threatening behavior and context before escalating to our highly trained professional operators to dispatch guards and police.
