OHZ Remote Guarding

What OHZ Remote Guarding does

OHZ Remote Guarding is a privately held B2B security services provider operating a TMA Five Diamond-certified 24/7 remote monitoring center from offices in Brooklyn, NY; Montvale, NJ; and Montreal, QC, Canada. The company's core offering combines AI-powered video analytics with trained human security agents who verify alerts and intervene in real time via on-site two-way audio, with rapid escalation to on-site staff or law enforcement. OHZ markets four named products — Remote Guarding, Event-Based Security, Virtual Doorman, and the OHZ Intelligence AI video management platform — and serves 12+ verticals spanning retail and commercial properties (shopping centers, offices, hotels, parking garages, car dealerships, apartment complexes), industrial and critical infrastructure (construction sites, warehouses, power-grid substations, cannabis facilities), and public services (government buildings, healthcare).

The technological backbone is OHZ Intelligence, a proprietary AI-powered, cloud-based video management system that ingests live feeds from customer CCTV, applies computer-vision analytics (person, vehicle, license plate, facial recognition, line crossing, object removal, suspicious items, loitering, crowd density), and exposes results through an event-based searchable timeline, a self-serve client portal, and a mobile application. The platform supports both OHZ's own guard services and direct customer self-monitoring. Documented response cadences — AI detection in milliseconds, agent verification in 5–20 seconds, audio intervention in 10–30 seconds — position the company as a tech-enabled alternative to traditional on-site guarding rather than a pure software play.

Commercially, OHZ runs a quote-based, multi-year contract enterprise sales motion supported by a "Get a Quote" funnel, complimentary security assessments, vertical-specific landing pages, and dedicated-agent post-sale service delivered via WhatsApp. Revenue is generated through managed remote monitoring subscriptions, professional CCTV design/installation/maintenance services, on-site hardware sales, and a SaaS-style OHZ Intelligence subscription layer. Public sources disclose TMA Five Diamond, UL, and BBB credentials but no revenue, funding, headcount, or ownership figures, leaving the company's financial profile as a data gap despite an active operating posture and multi-office footprint.

Core offering

OHZ Remote Guarding delivers 24/7 AI-assisted remote video monitoring and security intervention from a TMA Five Diamond-certified monitoring center, where trained security agents verify AI-flagged events and intervene via on-site two-way audio speakers, escalating to on-site staff or law enforcement when needed. The company also designs, installs, integrates, and maintains on-site CCTV and access-control hardware, and licenses OHZ Intelligence, a proprietary AI-powered cloud video management platform that centralizes multi-site footage with intelligent detection (person, vehicle, license plate, color) and event-based searchable timelines.

Product overview

OHZ Remote Guarding operates a unified, service-led security offering built around four named products: Remote Guarding (24/7 live monitoring with human agents plus AI analytics), Event-Based Security (on-demand guard response triggered by AI-verified events), OHZ Intelligence (the underlying AI-powered video management platform with intelligent search and event-based timeline), and Virtual Doorman (remote entry/access management). OHZ Intelligence functions as the cross-cutting technology backbone that ingests live camera feeds, applies computer-vision analytics, and surfaces structured events that both the remote-guarding services and end customers consume through a web portal and mobile app.

Products and services

• OHZ Intelligence AI-powered video management platform that connects any camera, runs real-time computer-vision analytics, and exposes the results through an event-based searchable timeline with intelligent search; deliverable as a unified web portal and mobile app for self-monitoring or as the analytics backbone for OHZ's guard services. Functions as the cross-cutting technology backbone for OHZ's remote guarding and event-based services.
