Emergency24, Worldview Monitoring partner to support scalable remote guarding

DES PLAINES, Ill., and RANDBURG, South Africa—Emergency24 and Worldview Monitoring have formed a strategic partnership aimed at helping monitoring centers, dealers and security providers scale remote guarding services across the U.S.

The partnership combines Emergency24’s monitoring infrastructure and dealer network with Worldview Monitoring’s experience delivering remote guarding services. The companies say the collaboration is designed to help providers introduce and expand proactive video-based security offerings while maintaining operational consistency as deployments grow.

Demand for remote guarding continues to rise as commercial customers seek stronger deterrence, faster response and greater visibility into after-hours activity. At the same time, monitoring organizations are evaluating how to scale those services sustainably as customer expectations increase.

“Remote guarding has moved well beyond being a niche offering,” said Tim Pearman, CEO of Worldview Monitoring. “More dealers and monitoring organizations are actively evaluating how to support it, but maintaining consistency becomes increasingly important as deployments scale.”

Pearman said the partnership reflects a service-focused approach rather than an emphasis on analytics or technology alone. “It’s about delivering the service consistently and helping partners introduce remote guarding in a way that aligns with how they already operate,” he said.

Emergency24 views the agreement as part of a broader industry shift as video monitoring evolves into a more proactive service category.

“Commercial customers are asking dealers more questions about remote guarding because they want greater visibility and faster intervention when activity occurs after hours,” said Steve Mayer, CEO of Emergency24. “For many dealers, the challenge is introducing those services in a way that supports long-term growth while remaining manageable operationally.”

Mayer added that Worldview’s operational experience made the partnership a strong fit. “The partnership gives our dealers access to a proven remote guarding model while maintaining the consistency and reliability they expect from Emergency24,” he said.

The companies said the partnership is intended to integrate with existing monitoring environments, dealer workflows and customer relationships, supporting providers looking to add or expand remote guarding services.
