After-hours theft and break-ins are the most common and costly security threat small businesses and mid-market companies face. CPI Night Guard addresses this directly: the moment your system is armed at close of business, a live CPI agent is monitoring your outdoor cameras. If someone attempts to access your property, agents detect it in real time, verify the threat, and dispatch first responders with video-verified evidence before a break-in is complete. This is the difference between catching a crime on camera and stopping it from happening.

Night Guard™ is not a passive camera system, it is an active monitoring service with live human agents. When your business is armed, CPI's Central Station Operators have eyes on your outdoor cameras in real time and can cover multiple entry points and large commercial properties. Cameras alone record what happened. Night Guard™ agents respond to what is happening — verifying threats, intervening with two-way audio, and coordinating first responder dispatch before you ever need to review footage.

Yes. Because CPI Night Guard™ agents monitor your outdoor cameras in real time and verify incidents as they occur, your business benefits from video-documented activity logs that can support insurance claims following a theft or break-in. Video-verified incidents provide insurers with clear, timestamped evidence of what occurred and when — strengthening claims and reducing disputes. For small businesses and mid-market companies where a single theft event can have significant financial impact, this documentation capability adds meaningful value beyond the immediate security response.

For small businesses and mid-market companies, Night Guard™ is a CPI add-on upgrade that replaces passive recording with active, after-hours protection. Every night your system is armed, a live CPI agent is watching your outdoor cameras — covering your full property, documenting activity, and ready to dispatch first responders the moment a real threat is confirmed. When measured against the average cost of a commercial break-in — lost inventory, property damage, business interruption, and insurance deductibles — proactive overnight monitoring is one of the most financially sound security investments a business owner can make.
