What is CPI Night Guard?

While you sleep, Night Guard™ keeps watch. Between 11:00 pm and 6:00 am, smart cameras automatically detect any movement at your home. When activity is spotted, our Monitoring Center Operators review the footage in real-time and decide if action is needed. Whether it's contacting you, dispatching authorities or determining if it’s a false alarm, we'll be standing guard so you can get some sleep.

Frequently asked
questions

What is CPI Security Night Guard™?

CPI Security Night Guard™ is a proactive outdoor monitoring add-on that protects your home every night between 11 PM and 6 AM, as long as your alarm system is armed. During those hours, CPI's Central Station Operators monitor your outdoor cameras in real time. If they detect suspicious activity, agents human-verify the threat and escalate directly to first responders on your behalf — no need to wake up, assess the situation yourself, or make a call in the middle of the night. CPI's Central Station handles everything so you don't have to.

What does proactive security monitoring mean?

Proactive security monitoring means a trained human agent intervenes before a crime escalates - not after an alarm goes off and you're left deciding what to do. With CPI Security Night Guard™, Central Station Operators watch your outdoor cameras live the moment your system is armed and alert detected. If they spot a real threat, they verify it themselves and contact first responders directly, bypassing you entirely. You don't have to wake up, confirm anything, or make a single call. CPI's team is already handling it.

When does CPI Night Guard™ turn on and what hours does it cover?

CPI Night Guard™ is active every night between 11 PM and 6 AM as long as your alarm system is armed during those hours. This window is intentional: the overnight hours between 11 PM and 6 AM represent the highest-risk period for residential break-ins, when most homes are asleep and response time matters most. As long as your system is armed before you go to bed, Night Guard is watching your outdoor cameras and CPI agents are ready to act on your behalf.

Why does CPI Night Guard™ use hardwired cameras instead of wireless or battery-powered cameras?

CPI Night Guard™ cameras are professionally installed and hardwired because the service depends on a live agent having an uninterrupted camera feed the moment your system is armed. Battery-powered and wireless cameras can lose signal, drop WiFi connection, or run out of charge. These failure points that would prevent an agent from verifying a threat in time.Hardwired installation removes those variables entirely, so CPI's Central Station always has the live visibility it needs to act on your behalf.

How does CPI Night Guard™ contact first responders— do I have to make the call?

No — you do not have to make any call. When a CPI Night Guard agent human-verifies a real threat on your outdoor cameras, they contact first responders directly on your behalf. This means police are dispatched with live video verification already in hand, improving response priority compared to an unverified alarm trigger. The entire process — detection, verification, escalation — happens through CPI's Central Station while you sleep. You are notified, but you are never the bottleneck.
