Mr. Warshaw, with over 50 years of business experience, in 2008, founded the Live Video Monitoring Industry. As a distributor selling CCTV systems to businesses, Mr. Warshaw discovered a NEW platform call CMS – Central Management Software. It was developed for the Intrusion Industry IE: alarm systems. It would allow a central monitoring station to watch many home cameras combining intrusion/alarm with video evidence. It never caught on because of two issues: #1 homeowners did not want cameras in their homes, and #2 created dozens of false alerts.

The hope was this new technology would turn the Alarm industry from a Re-Active Industry to a Pro-Active Industry, but that would prove not to be the case.

Mr. Warshaw, around 2008, believed this CMS platform would be great for business owners that could watch their multiple businesses from one screen or on their phone from anywhere in the world.

Mr. Warshaw took the CMS Platform, enhanced it, and began marketing it to businesses through a DVR or NVR CCTV system. Business owners liked the cameras with the CMS to view during regular business hours, but after hours they were inundated with false alerts and no one watching the cameras.

It became apparent to Mr. Warshaw that the greatest need was for businesses that housed or kept their valuable assets outside and required expensive and ineffective guard services. The guard was, as mentioned, very expensive, the guard was a liability, there was no one to supervise the guard, so in many cases, the guard would fall asleep, the guard could not see the entire property, and if you were fortunate the guard would make rounds, thereby creating several problems – the crooks were smart enough that while the guard was on one side of the property, they would be on the other side. Also, it was easy to divert the guard’s attention.
