What We Do
Born from the frustration of experienced security professionals who understood the industry's biggest challenges, HiveWatch was created to solve what legacy systems couldn't. Security teams are drowning in video feeds and alarms while struggling with staff turnover and missed incidents. They're inundated with repetitive and mundane tasks, tying them down with low-impact and time-consuming work. This type of activity creates intense frustration, leading to complacency, burnout, high turnover, and is ultimately a waste of company funds and resources. As physical security grows and transforms, enabled by advancing AI and technology, it's critical for the industry to embrace this new era to improve the important work the people in physical security are doing. HiveWatch emerged as the antidote: a cloud-native platform that brings together disparate systems, reduces false alarms, and delivers actionable intelligence to security leaders so they can make better decisions. By removing monotonous and laborious tasks, security personnel can be upskilled and enabled to do more impactful, meaningful, and proactive work.
Why Work With Us
HiveWatch is a tech-forward, innovative, and inclusive organization leading the evolution of the physical security industry. We are a data-driven, tech-geek, and fun (at least we like to think so) group of people looking for more diverse perspectives to join us in defining what “keeping people safe” really means.
