Live Event Verification
Trained operators visually verify motion and alarm events in real time, eliminating false dispatches and confirming actual threats before police are called.

Recorded video tells you what you lost. Live monitoring stops it. Trained agents watch your cameras during the hours nobody is on site, speak to intruders through on-site speakers, and call police as a live eyewitness. We install, tune, and support the camera and network side across the north metro, the I‑35 corridor, and East Central Minnesota.
Monitoring is only as good as the cameras behind it. As a licensed Minnesota low voltage contractor we handle the field work — camera placement, lighting, cabling, and bandwidth — so agents get usable images at 2 a.m., not a grainy blur.
Already have cameras? We audit what you own first and tell you exactly what can be connected to monitoring and what needs to change.

Magnuson Low Voltage Wiring provides 24/7 live security camera monitoring for commercial properties, construction sites, apartment communities, and businesses throughout Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the greater Twin Cities area. Instead of cameras that only record crime after it happens, our remote video monitoring service uses trained operators, AI video analytics, and two-way audio talk-down to actively prevent theft, vandalism, trespassing, and after-hours break-ins.
Trained operators visually verify motion and alarm events in real time, eliminating false dispatches and confirming actual threats before police are called.
On-site speakers let monitoring agents issue live voice warnings to trespassers — proven to stop crime in progress before damage or loss occurs.
Around-the-clock virtual guard service for after-hours, weekends, holidays, and overnight protection — no gaps, no missed events, no sleeping guards.
Traditional cameras only record what already happened. Live monitored security cameras stop incidents while they are unfolding, not after.
Most commercial IP camera systems can be integrated with remote video monitoring — no need to rip and replace your current surveillance investment.
Local Twin Cities security camera installation paired with professional live video monitoring for businesses across Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and East Central Minnesota.
On-site security guards are expensive, inconsistent, and can only watch one area at a time. A virtual guard service powered by live video monitoring covers every camera on your property at once, never sleeps, never calls in sick, and costs a fraction of a physical guard contract. For most commercial properties, remote monitoring delivers stronger crime deterrence and faster response times than traditional guard service — at a lower monthly cost.
Our monitoring center responds to verified events in seconds, not minutes, with live audio intervention and immediate dispatch of local law enforcement when needed.
Whether you need monitoring for an existing camera system or a full new install with live video monitoring built in, our team can scope the right solution for your property.
That field work is the part most monitoring providers do not do. It is the part we do every day — see commercial security camera installation for the camera systems themselves, and commercial burglar alarms for after-hours intrusion detection that pairs with monitored video.
