Netwatch creates 20 jobs in Carlow
Remote security monitoring firm Netwatch hopes to create at least 20 jobs with the launch of a new managed service.
Carlow-based Netwatch will absorb the costs of a site survey, install its cameras at the client’s premises and charge a monthly monitoring fee. Prior to this, the company sold cameras and ancillary monitoring equipment to clients and charged what managing director David Walsh described as a “modest” monitoring fee.
Netwatch, which has clients in Ireland, Britain, the US, Spain and South Africa, remotely monitors security cameras that are connected to its command centre in Carlow. Software systems built into the cameras analyse the images and notify staff in Carlow of suspicious activity.
Netwatch currently employs 70 staff.
