In house or outsourced camera monitoring?
Prepared 22 October 2026 by NightMarshal

Compare in house and outsourced monitoring by coverage duties, supervision, continuity and access control. Use a hybrid model when your team must keep on-site decisions while another team handles agreed camera review or out-of-hours exceptions.

Instructions
1. Specify duties before comparing headcount or prices.
2. Assign on-site decisions and remote review ownership.
3. Test the shift handoff and backup plan.

Open the blank CSV in a spreadsheet app; add one row per item. Use Pending for unknowns and N/A only where a field truly does not apply. Review the separate example CSV; all example values are fictional. Keep completed sheets private. Do not include passwords, access codes, personal contacts, footage links or camera stream URLs. No input is collected by these downloads.

Fictional example
Fictional portfolio: its internal team retains access approvals. An external monitoring team reviews closed-site alerts and contacts the internal duty lead under a written plan.

Limits
No cost saving or staffing ratio is assumed. Use actual quotes and employment costs for the location.
