Blue Eye InSite™: The Modern, Verified Alternative to Outdated Burglar Alarms

SALT LAKE CITY – January 14, 2025 – Blue Eye, the leader in remote video monitoring, announces the launch of InSite™ a complete interior and exterior surveillance solution that replaces ineffective burglar alarms with verified, real-time security. Designed for the modern commercial property, InSite™ delivers instant video verification, slashes false alarms, and accelerates police response in key markets including Seattle, New York, Chicago, Salt Lake City, and Arizona.

The End of the False Alarm Era

Traditional burglar alarms are broken. Relying on motion sensors without context, they create a crisis of credibility:

• According to Arizona State University research, 98% of alarms are false.
  
• Cities like Chicago waste the equivalent of 195 full-time officers annually on false alarm calls.
  
• This inefficiency drains public resources and leaves businesses vulnerable to fines and non-response policies.
  

InSite™ solves this by replacing blind sensors with live remote video monitoring. Trained virtual guards verify every event in real-time, ensuring police receive actionable intelligence not just another alert.

How InSite™ Works: Verified Protection in Real-Time

1. Instant Detection & Verification: High-definition cameras stream live footage to Blue Eye’s monitoring center the moment an intrusion occurs.
   
2. Live Audio Intervention: Virtual guards use on-site speakers to warn intruders, often stopping crime before damage occurs directly.
   
3. Priority Police Dispatch: Verified video and audio evidence are relayed directly to law enforcement, meeting new verification ordinances and ensuring faster response.
   

Close the Critical Response Gap

With FBI data showing most burglaries are over in 8-10 minutes and police response in major metros like New York often exceeding 15 minutes, every second counts. InSite™ bridges this gap by providing police with real-time visual evidence and situational awareness from the moment an incident begins.

Built for Today’s City Regulations

Cities are mandating verification. Seattle now requires video or audio proof for alarm dispatch, rendering traditional systems obsolete. InSite™ is designed for compliance, offering a future-proof solution that meets evolving regulations in Seattle, Salt Lake City, Chicago, New York, and Arizona.

A Complete Security Platform

With InSite™, Blue Eye now provides end-to-end protection:

• Interior & Exterior Live Video Surveillance
• Centralized Virtual Guard Response
• Seamless Multi-Location Deployment
• Full compliance for shopping centers, retail spaces, and commercial properties.
  

“Outdated alarms leave businesses exposed and waste police resources,” said Steve Jackson, President of Blue Eye. “InSite™ ensures every alert is verified, meaningful, and results in faster protection.”
