LTS Active Guard
LTS Active Guard
Go beyond simply recording an incident. Active Guard combines motion detection, hybrid illumination, two-way audio, flashing lights, and smart tracking into one proactive system that turns away trouble before it starts.
Shop Active Guard Cameras How It WorksGo Beyond Simple Video Monitoring
To move from simply recording security events to effectively deterring them, LTS Active Guard brings together audio, visual, and intelligence features that work as one.
"Active Guard" isn't a single feature buried in a camera's firmware — it's a combination of capabilities working together to form a real deterrent. Active Guard cameras combine motion detection, hybrid illumination, a siren and/or recorded audio messages, and coloured flashing lights. Add 24-hour colour imaging and smart tracking on select PTZ models, and you've got a genuine first line of defence — not just a recording device.
How Active Guard Works
LTS Active Guard cameras are designed to prevent incidents using varying combinations of these five capabilities.
Motion Detection
Cameras equipped with MD 2.0 detect people and vehicles, then trigger alarms, notifications, video recording, and other deterrent responses automatically.
Hybrid Illumination
When no movement is detected, hybrid illumination cameras stay in IR-only mode for black & white recording. The moment a person or vehicle is detected, a spotlight illuminates the area and the camera switches to colour.
Two-Way Audio Communication
Sirens and pre-recorded voice messages can be triggered using line-crossing and other VCA detections. Dual microphones transmit sound as well, extending what security personnel can hear and say in real time.
Spotlights & Flashing Lights
A bright white spotlight or red & blue flashing lights send a clear, unmistakable warning at the first sign of a trespasser crossing into a restricted area.
Smart Tracking
Select PTZ cameras detect and then follow a moving person or vehicle, keeping the target in the field of view for as long as possible — useful for monitoring large open areas and perimeters.
Stack Them Together
The real strength of Active Guard is combining these features on one camera — motion-triggered illumination, a flashing light, and an audio warning, all without needing a separate alarm system on site.
Deterrence Is Backed by Research
Visible deterrence features change behaviour before an incident even starts.
Studies have shown that the presence of visible deterrence features — as simple as a sign stating there are video surveillance cameras in the area — can be effective against potential offenders. At least one recent study found that the presence of visible security cameras and warning signs reduced the likelihood of theft and vandalism in parking lots by creating just the perception of increased risk for offenders.
