A guard who sees everything, everywhere, at once.
A physical guard can watch one gate at a time, gets tired, and is one person against a group. A Sentrix virtual guard watches every camera on your property simultaneously, never loses focus, and brings an entire monitoring centre behind every response. It is smarter coverage at a fraction of the cost.
Why virtual beats physical
Across Pakistan, businesses pay heavily for guards who cannot be everywhere and cannot safely confront an armed group. Virtual guarding removes that risk entirely. Our operators deter intruders with live audio, document everything on video, and escalate to police, keeping your people and assets safe without putting anyone in harm’s way.
Total Coverage
Every camera watched at once, with no blind spots and no single point of failure.
Safe Deterrence
Operators confront intruders by voice, never in person, so there is zero physical risk.
Full Accountability
Every action is logged and supervised, creating evidence and an audit trail.
What is included
Included: continuous virtual guarding during chosen hours, live audio challenge-and-warn, visitor and access verification on request, verified dispatch, and detailed incident reporting. Scales across single or multiple sites from one centre.

How a virtual guard responds, step by step.
The same challenge-and-respond a good guard would do, run from our monitoring centre.
01
Detect
Detection flags activity across every camera your virtual guard is watching.
02
Verify
The operator confirms whether it is a genuine threat before acting.
03
Challenge by Voice
The virtual guard speaks to the intruder live through on-site speakers.
04
Escalate
If ignored, police, rescue, and your contacts are alerted with full detail.
Where a virtual guard works best
One guard cannot cover it all
Industrial estates, yards, and campuses have too much ground for one person. A virtual guard watches every camera at once.
- Perimeter fencing
- Multiple gates
- Wide open ground
Remove the danger to a person
Where confronting intruders is risky, a virtual guard challenges them by voice from a safe distance and escalates fast.
- Cash-handling sites
- Disputed premises
- After-hours risk
Replace guards across locations
Instead of a guard per site, one centre guards them all, cutting cost while widening coverage.
- Retail chains
- Branch offices
- Storage networks

FAQs
Virtual guard services, answered.
Is a virtual guard the same as a physical security guard?
No. A virtual guard is a trained operator who watches your cameras remotely, challenges intruders by voice, and dispatches help. Sentrix does not place a person on site. You get the guard’s presence and response without the cost or risk.
Can a virtual guard actually stop an intruder?
Yes. A live voice warning naming what the intruder is doing causes most to leave immediately. If they do not, the virtual guard escalates to police with verified, live detail.
How much cheaper is it than physical guards?
Because one operator can cover many cameras and even many sites, virtual guarding typically costs far less than staffing guards around the clock, often a fraction of the price.
Can a virtual guard verify visitors and deliveries?
Yes, on request. Operators can verify identities and confirm authorisations remotely, and on compatible systems open or close gates and doors.
Does it replace my existing cameras?
In most cases, no. We connect to your existing CCTV and add audio hardware where voice challenge is needed.
