Golden Eye Technology vs. VirtuGuard™ Video Surveillance 

Golden Eye Technology Alternative 

Golden Eye Technology was founded by a major car dealership CFO to help other car dealerships with video surveillance services. With the intention of saving money on insurance premiums, proving fraudulent claims, and protecting employees and staff, Golden Eye installs surveillance cameras and remotely monitors the video feeds. Additionally, clients can access their camera views remotely from mobile devices. 

Golden Eye is based in Tampa, Florida and has 24 years of experience in video surveillance and 14 years of experience in installing cameras. 

Installing vs. Monitoring 

Golden Eye Technology can install both cameras and servers and provide monitoring services on these devices.  

VirtuGuard™ does not install cameras or servers, but partners with installers across the nation and abroad to ensure all of a client’s needs are met when implementing remote monitoring services. This gives both VirtuGuard™ and clients flexibility to find the right security equipment based on a site’s unique needs. 

Equipment & Hardware 

Golden Eye Technology provides equipment and hardware installation services but does not indicate the brands or manufacturers they work with on their website. However, their website states that their monitoring center has full control over video and audio through built-in microphones, speakers, and high-quality megapixel video. They can also zoom in to live video feeds with high-definition clarity to identify license plate numbers, recognize faces, and more. 

While the Golden Eye Technology website does not indicate the technology or hardware they utilize, they state that their cameras have automatic exposure to improve lighting without changing exterior lighting conditions. 

VirtuGuard™ is camera- and equipment-agnostic. Our Command Centers are compatible with hundreds of major camera manufacturers, and we take every step to work with a client’s existing equipment. We can also add on-site edge devices as needed to leverage several cloud-based services to enhance detections and enable faster Agent responses. Even after a client has been fully onboarded and monitoring has begun, our Technology team continues to introduce innovative technologies to improve efficiency and Agent responses.  

By working with a client’s existing cameras and other equipment, there is no additional up-front cost to the client to purchase new equipment before monitoring can begin. 

Monitoring Hours 

The Golden Eye Technology website indicates that they only offer monitoring services while the business is closed. They offer nightly interactive monitoring of the exterior of the property, a car dealership, which eliminates the need for a Security Guard. 

VirtuGuard™ offers 24/7/365 interactive monitoring services. Whether the business is opened or closed, VirtuGuard™ Agents conduct proactive virtual patrols and respond to alarms in real time. Our Technology Team can also recommend or implement devices or programs to improve camera quality when lighting conditions are not ideal. 

Industries Served 

Golden Eye Technology exclusively offers video surveillance services to car dealerships. The company was founded by a longtime car dealership CFO, with the mission of watching sales traffic while the business is closed, eliminating false slip and fall claims, and protecting staff and clients. The Golden Eye website does not indicate that they offer services for any other industry.
