Every retailer wants to stop theft, but the smartest ones go further. They use video not just to prevent loss, but to understand what’s happening in their stores and make better decisions. Smart video surveillance gives you the tools to protect your people, inventory, and bottom line.
Direct Alarm helps Georgia retailers upgrade from basic camera systems to intelligent surveillance that does more than record. Using advanced video analytics and real-time alerts, our systems keep eyes on your store even when you are not there. The result is better protection, faster response, and sharper insight into how your business really runs.
Beyond Watching: What Smart Video Really Does
Older CCTV systems only tell you what happened after the fact. You log in, rewind, and hope the footage is clear enough to be useful. That’s not good enough for modern retail. Direct Alarm installs smart video systems from leading brands like Dahua, Hikvision, and Alarm.com that recognize suspicious behavior as it happens.
These cameras use analytics to identify patterns, like someone lingering in a low-traffic area, accessing a restricted zone, or trying to conceal merchandise. You get alerts right away, not hours later. That allows you or your managers to act in real time before losses add up.
Smart video also helps on the operational side. You can track foot traffic, see which displays draw attention, and identify staffing gaps during busy periods. That kind of insight helps you make informed decisions about layout, scheduling, and service, all while maintaining full security coverage.

Integrated Protection That Works Together
Video surveillance becomes even more powerful when it’s part of a larger system. Direct Alarm connects your cameras with intrusion alarms, access control, and monitored fire protection, giving you one platform that does it all.
If someone forces a door, the alarm triggers and the nearest camera automatically records the event. If a customer or employee activates a panic button, the monitoring team receives both the signal and the video feed. It’s fast, coordinated, and verified, reducing false alarms while improving response times.
Our monitoring center, partnered with Cen-Signal, ensures someone is always watching 24 hours a day, while our local team handles on-site support. Every alert is verified, and every response is managed by trained professionals who understand what’s at stake.
Protecting Employees and Customers
Safety is as important as security. Smart video gives your employees confidence during early morning openings, late-night closings, or cash drops. It deters potential threats and documents incidents clearly if something happens.
Customers also feel the difference. A well-monitored, well-lit environment builds trust and comfort, especially in high-traffic or late-hour retail settings. When shoppers feel safe, they stay longer, spend more, and come back.
Designed for the Way You Operate
Every store is different, which is why Direct Alarm doesn’t use cookie-cutter systems. We walk your site, assess lighting, traffic flow, and risk zones, and design a setup that fits the way you do business. Whether it’s a boutique, liquor store, grocery market, or multi-location operation, we scale protection to your space.
Our team installs professional-grade cameras, positions them for maximum coverage, and connects everything through a secure network. You can view live or recorded footage on your phone, tablet, or desktop anytime, anywhere. If a camera goes offline, you’re notified instantly. That level of control means you always know what’s happening, even when you’re off-site.
Local Service That Stands Behind Every System
Direct Alarm is based in Griffin and serves businesses within a 35–40 mile radius. Our team is licensed in Georgia (GA LVU 405079) and trained on the latest technologies from Alarm.com, Dahua, Hikvision, DSC, and Johnson Controls. When you call for support, you reach a local technician who knows your system, not a national call center.
We work with retailers across Georgia to deliver systems that run smoothly, respond quickly, and stay reliable. From installation to maintenance, you can count on direct communication and professional service every step of the way.
Smarter Video, Stronger Business
Smart video surveillance is more than a security measure. It’s a business tool that protects your people, prevents loss, and improves the way your store operates. With the right system in place, you can see everything that matters, without missing a beat.
