Frequently Asked Questions
Is the WatchBox just a security camera?
No. The WatchBox is a complete remote video monitoring solution, closer to a remote guard than a camera. Live agents watch your site 24/7, AI video analytics detect real threats, and active deterrence with LED lights, a 10-watt speaker, and two-way audio stops intruders before loss occurs. A standard camera records an incident after it happens. The WatchBox works to prevent it and dispatches authorities when needed.
Does the WatchBox need Wi-Fi or internet to work?
No. The WatchBox connects through intelligent multi-carrier cellular, automatically selecting the strongest available network. There is no Wi-Fi, router, or wired internet required, which makes it ideal for remote and off-grid sites where traditional systems cannot reach.
How is the WatchBox powered?
The WatchBox runs entirely on solar and battery power using a deep-cycle battery bank with intelligent power management, so it needs no electrical infrastructure and carries no ongoing power costs. A hardwired power option is also available for sites that prefer it.
How quickly can the WatchBox be deployed?
In hours. The WatchBox mounts to a pole, wall, or structure and is fully operational immediately, with no electrician, no contractor, and no trenching or wiring required. It can also be repositioned easily as a site changes.
Is the WatchBox professionally monitored?
Yes. Every WatchBox is backed by 24/7 professional monitoring from live agents. Guardian Alarm’s monitoring center is staffed by our own employees in the Midwest, not an overseas call center, so threats are addressed within seconds.
What happens when the WatchBox detects a threat?
AI video analytics identify people, vehicles, and animals while filtering out irrelevant motion, so agents respond only to real threats. When a threat is detected, the system uses LED deterrent lights, a 10-watt speaker, and live two-way audio talk-down to stop it, and dispatches authorities when necessary.
Does the WatchBox work at night and in bad weather?
Yes. The WatchBox is built in an IP66 weatherproof, vandal-resistant enclosure for continuous outdoor operation. Optional thermal imaging extends detection beyond 1,000 feet, providing reliable coverage day or night and in low-visibility conditions.
What types of sites is the WatchBox designed for?
The WatchBox secures any site—even locations with limited power and network access. It’s ideal for construction sites, parking lots, auto dealerships, remote utility sites, and other critical infrastructure. If you’re looking to upgrade your perimeter security, The WatchBox is built for the job.
Can the WatchBox read license plates?
Yes. License plate recognition (LPR) is available as a configurable feature, along with customizable detection zones and deterrence protocols tailored to your site. It is especially useful for auto dealerships, parking lots, and gated entrances.
Is the WatchBox video secure?
Yes. All video and system data are transmitted using secure encryption over intelligent multi-carrier cellular, and footage is accessible to you through mobile and web video access.
