GUARD-ONLY MODEL
GDSS AI + HUMAN MODEL
Every Business Is Unique.
Your Security Should Be Too.
We do not sell pre-packaged kits. Every GDSS installation begins with a comprehensive security audit and ends with a system designed specifically for your property.
Surveillance
HD & 4K cameras with AI detection zones, behavioral analysis, and license plate recognition. Fixed, PTZ, and specialty cameras.
Access Control
Biometric readers, keycards, smart locks, and visitor management systems with full audit trails.
Alarm Systems
Motion sensors, door/window contacts, glass break sensors, and perimeter detection calibrated to reduce false triggers.
Networks & Servers
Enterprise-grade switches, structured cabling, dedicated security VLANs, and NVR storage with zero cloud fees.
Professional Installation, Minimal Disruption
GDSS technicians install your custom-designed system with structured cabling, commercial-grade mounting, and full system commissioning. Your team receives hands-on training and ongoing technical support.
AI Detection. Human Verification. Coordinated Response.
Layer 1: AI Detection
10 secondsAdvanced algorithms analyze video feeds in real time — detecting intrusions, behavioral anomalies, license plates, and object removal.
Layer 2: Human Verification
30 secondsEvery AI alert is reviewed by a trained operator who accesses live feeds and makes a determination. 98% of false alarms filtered before action.
Layer 3: Coordinated Response
ImmediateAudio deterrent, authority dispatch with precise location, HD evidence capture, real-time client notification, and post-event report within 24 hours.
24/7 Monitoring
Trained operators watch your facility around the clock. No fatigue, no gaps, no excuses.
Exception-Based Alerts
You are only contacted when something requires attention. Daily and weekly summaries keep you informed without overwhelming.
Fraction of Guard Cost
24/7 guard coverage costs $60K–$80K/year. GDSS Virtual Monitoring delivers superior coverage at a fraction of this.
100% NDAA Compliant
NDAA Section 889 prohibits the use of telecommunications and surveillance equipment from manufacturers deemed national security risks — including Hikvision, Dahua, Huawei, ZTE, and Hytera.
Every GDSS installation uses exclusively NDAA-compliant equipment. No banned manufacturers. No compromised supply chains. No backdoors. This is not a policy — it is a foundational principle.
GDSS provides a written compliance certificate with every installation, documenting every piece of equipment, its manufacturer, and its NDAA compliance status.
