On-Duty Guard
Formerly introduced as AI Security Guard.
An AI guard on duty 24/7. Never off shift. Speaks live through the camera — even if the cloud path drops.
Human-verified AI on duty 24/7. Lights, sirens, and a voice on site — on your ONVIF cameras or Houndlight hardware. Talk-down at the edge; no mains and no broadband required.
The Guard never sleeps
An AI guard on duty 24/7. Never off shift.
Human verification, not just AI
A trained person checks every alert before it reaches you.
Every detection — from an ONVIF camera, an Houndlight, or SHELi — is confirmed by a specialist in under 5 seconds. Lights, sirens and live talk-down only fire once a human has verified it.
How the Guard works
A guard service, not a gadget. Detect, verify, deter, log and dispatch.
Detect
AI watches every connected camera — ONVIF or ImageDeep power-efficient hardware.
Verify
A human confirms the alert in under 5 seconds. No raw false alarms reach you.
Deter
Camera lights and sirens fire, and the operator speaks LIVE through the speaker — talk-down runs at the edge, even if 4G / Wi-Fi drops.
Log & dispatch
Timestamped HD evidence, keyholder protocol and dispatch — a real response, not a notification.

From Cameras to Verified Alerts in 4 Steps
No new hardware for wired sites — and ImageDeep power-efficient hardware where there is no power or broadband. Detect, verify, deter and dispatch in seconds.
Detect
AI watches every connected camera, including ImageDeep's proprietary power-efficient hardware that records continuously at low power then jumps to full frame on a person or vehicle.
Verify
Vigil specialists confirm the alert in under 5 seconds. No raw false alarms reach the customer.
Deter
Trigger camera lights and sirens. The operator speaks LIVE through the camera speaker — two-way talk-down while the intruder is still on site. Talk-down runs at the edge on the camera or Houndlight unit, so it still works when 4G / Wi-Fi drops.
Dispatch
SMS, app and email alerts, keyholder protocol, and an evidence pack with timestamped HD — so the response is real, not just a notification.
Talk-down is live and human. Not a pre-recorded "you are being recorded" clip. Voice at the fence does not wait for a data centre — operators and evidence use the network when it is available.
Active Deterrence
Lights. Speaker. Live voice.
ImageDeep uses the camera's own white light / spotlight, siren or strobe, microphone and speaker. When an event is verified, operators can illuminate the scene and speak to the person on site in real time. Works on compatible PTZ, bullet and ImageDeep's proprietary power-efficient off-grid cameras that include two-way audio and deterrent lighting.
- Live two-way talk-down through the camera
- Lights / spotlight / siren triggered on verified threat
- Human verification before anyone is challenged
- Works off-grid when the camera is 4G + solar
- No new on-premise server required
"You are on camera. Leave the site now. Gardaí have been called."
Talk-down is live and human. Not a pre-recorded "you are being recorded" clip.
Talk-down does not require the cloud
Voice at the fence. Evidence in the cloud.
Deterrence runs on the device. Verification, search and dispatch run on Vigil when the link is up.
Edge / on-device
Lights, siren, and live or local voice can run on the camera or Houndlight unit when connectivity is poor or down.
- Spotlight, strobe and siren triggered on device
- Live or local voice talk-down on the speaker
- Runs with no mains and no broadband
Cloud / Vigil
Human verification, multi-site dashboard, search, reports and dispatch to keyholders — when the network is available.
- Human verification of alerts (optional upgrade)
- Multi-site dashboard, search and reports
- Dispatch to keyholders and evidence packs
Voice at the fence does not wait for a data centre. Operators and evidence use the network when it is available.
No power. No broadband. Still watched — and spoken to.
ImageDeep's proprietary power-efficient hardware ImageDeep's proprietary power-efficient hardware keeps a low-power timeline running 24/7, then switches to full frame rate when a person or vehicle is detected — so there is no PIR blind spot. Pair that hardware with ImageDeep Vigil and a remote farm, construction site, yard, holiday home or solar site gets the same verified talk-down as a wired site.
| Record-only solar camera | Single CCTV hire tower | On-Duty Guard on ImageDeep off-grid hardware / existing CCTV | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | One cheap viewpoint | One tall mast | Many solar points + one monitoring brain |
| Deterrent | App notification | Mast + lights + audio | Lights + siren + LIVE human talk-down at each camera |
| Power / network | Solar + 4G | Solar + 4G on the tower | Solar + 4G on each camera |
| False alarms | High if unfiltered | Filtered at ARC | Human-verified before talk-down |
| Best for | DIY record | One obvious site presence | Wide / multi-building sites that need intervention, not just height |
A tall hire tower is the right choice when the buyer wants one visible mast. On-Duty Guard is the right choice when they need a live human voice at many points — without civils or a crane.
