ADT Security Group, a subsidiary of Intelligent Monitoring Group (IMG), will re-enter the guarding business with a modern approach alongside sibling IMG company, Signature Security Group.

Combining its historical knowledge, experience and established infrastructure with IMG’s leadership, ADT Security will return to the direct guarding market with a technological focus.

“By shifting from reactive to proactive monitoring, this new service not only addresses security gaps but also provides a continuous feedback loop for improvement,” IMG managing director Dennison Hambling says.

“ADT Security and Signature Security Group’s advanced guarding solution will allow cameras to evaluate environments, detect unusual activities, alert the monitoring teams and go straight to the relevant authorities from A1 graded security monitoring rooms to protect premises around the clock.”

Both ADT Security and Signature Security Group will use existing monitoring platforms to introduce innovative video guarding services by using cameras as advanced alarm systems. Integrating video technology into security protocols will create a more proactive approach to safeguarding properties through real-time monitoring and rapid response to potential threats.

This has already proven successful in major countries like the US and demonstrates a clear correlation between video guarding, increased arrest rates and a decrease in crime rates.
