The GoView platform provides our clients all the tools you would need to monitor your own system and professional monitoring is included standard on all of our system because we feel like it is a vital key to the success of our solution.  

How would a self monitored system work?  When the system detected trespassing or a an event you want to be notified about your could choose to have notifications sent to multiple people by SMS, email, or a mobile app push notification or all of the above.  From there you would connect to the system and if you see something wrong, you would then need to call the police, security guard, or respond in some other way.  You could also activate strobe light, flood lights, sirens, or talk to the person or persons onsite using the 2 ways audio feature which is available on the mobile app as well as software application for computer.  Basically you and your staff become the monitoring center.  One advantage is that you know your site best and you know what activity is normal and what is not.  If you have full-time security staff that are on your staff, this solution might be a good option for your company.

Here are some of the problems with self monitoring.  
  • You could miss the alerts if your phone settings are not set properly, you are in a bad signal area, or on vacation
  • You may not be comfortable responding in a high stress situation where you are seeing a crime in progress
  • Unless you are already awake, handling alarm response in the middle of the night can ruin a good night's sleep
  • Video AI has come a long way but there will always be instances of false alarms.  

We highly recommend leaving the video monitoring to the professionals.  GoVIew Video Monitoring is handled by our 5 Diamond UL listed central station. Agents undergo regular and extensive training so they are always prepared for any situation.  All activity at your sites during armed/active time periods will be checked by a live agent and you will receive a daily report of any activity.  You can review this activity to ensure your alarms are being handled professionally.  The agent can initiate 2 way communication with the site and verify a reset password to reduce the chance of un needed police dispatch.

State and local governments find mobile security trailers to be an ideal tool. Because governments are responsible for managing a wide variety of events and crises, they need powerful and multi-purpose tools like the GoView Mobile Solution.  GoView provides surveillance for challenging situations with mobile, overt systems, that utilize deterrence to actively prevent incidents. Video AI can alert law enforcement of crowd formation, environmental emergencies, and help ease the staffing burdens facing government agencies. 

Other uses are:

● Prevent illegal dumping
● Monitor government property
● Event crowd management
● Natural disaster relief
● Water level monitoring for streams and rivers
● Emergency communication portal for remote trailheads
● Reduce security staff at parks and recreation facilities

GoView systems utilize the latest technology to detect, recognize, log, and create actionable data from live streaming footage of license plates.]]>

License Plate Recognition has advanced rapidly in the last few years.  GoView systems utilize the latest technology to detect, recognize, log, and create actionable data from live streaming footage of license plates.  


While the technology has improved, there is still a minimum viable image quality that must be obtained for ALPR to function.  The 2 main factors are pixel density or pixels per foot (PPF) and lighting conditions.  You must have enough PPF or the math just does not work.  somewhere between 40-60 PPF are needed. If lighting conditions are not adequate, then PPF is not relevant because if your cameras lens is "blinded" by headlights or there is not enough available light then regardless of the PPF you will not have enough image quality for the ALPR to work.  Creating a quality image also must take into account the speed of the car and the angle of the camera to the license plate. 


Ideally the LPR camera will be mounted at the same height as the license plate and within 3 feet of the side of the car as it passes. The area will be well lit and the car will come to a low speed or complete stop. The camera will be focused on the front of the vehicle and the car will take up almost all the image.  The only time this is likely to happen is when cars are entering or exiting a controller parking area.  


Real world conditions are not likely to have all of the ideal conditions but measure can be taken to help.  High speed license plate detection on a multi lane road can be a difficult LPR scenario but can be achieve with the proper camera.


2 scenarios where mobile trailers may be tasked with LPR is for a retail store and also a construction site.  In these scenarios we must ensure there is adequate lighting and use PTZ cameras to zoom in on an entry/exit point.  Our LPR software has excellent capabilities to detect plates under adverse conditions.  Plate numbers can be blacklisted or whitelisted so security staff can be alerted when an unknown vehicle has entered a parking area.  Data can be machine analyzed to detect suspicious activity such as high volume of a single plate during odd hours. This data can be used to create alerts that can put security staff on higher alert.  


Organized criminal activity has been stopped in many locations using advanced LPR data with new security techniques.  Plate data can be shared with other locations to prevent criminal organization from actively targeting a single business at multiple locations.

We understand you have a lot of options when it comes to mobile video surveillance. We often get the question, "why should we choose GoView over company ______"  We would like to take this opportunity to toot our own horn for a minute and tell you exactly why we are better.


GoView Hardware Is Better.  In nearly measurable way our hardware is better.  

  • We have 40% more solar generation than most companies (1320 watts compared to 800 for most systems)
  • 4 times the battery capacity in our battery bank (1600 Amp Hours compared to 400 for our largest competitor LVT)
  • Heavy duty steel trailer that weighs almost 1000 pounds more than an LVT trailer.  That translates to better, thicker gauge steel and quality components
  • If you do a side by side comparison even the average person can tell you which is better quality. 
  • It is not rocket science but it is SCIENCE and Engineering and Math. 

GoView User Interface GUI and software is Better. OK this one might be opinion but allow us to explain.
  • We record to 3 independent systems so there is no chance of losing video
  • Our software and mobile app were designed to be the easiest and most efficient to use
  • You can pull up any camera and initiate a 2 way audio session, activate alarms, and turn on/off flood lights from your phone anywhere on the planet
  • You can filter events in multiple ways by motion and intelligent smart search to quickly find the video you need
  • You can easily share video with other people or law enforcement

GoView is the best value
  • We are 20-30% lower cost than LVT for a much better product
  • We achieve this with superior engineering and innovative cost savings and also not paying celebrities to endorse our product

Call us for a free 2 week trial.  We will get a system on your location and you can try it for yourself.
