NextAlarm will add affordable video monitoring service to its value priced, high quality VoIP-based alarm monitoring services for homes and small businesses called NEXTVIEW.

NEXTVIEW works with existing alarm systems and is easy to set up, view and manage through the customer portal interface at NextAlarm.com. Each camera can be associated with one or more zones (i.e. "front door view," "back door view," etc.). Subscribers can also access images through their cell phone. The system captures still photos every few minutes, and switches to live video during an alarm event. Archived video and stills can be reviewed any time. NextAlarm’s dispatch centers also have access to view cameras when an alarm is triggered.

“NEXTVIEW is perfect for the family or small business that needs that extra layer of security, but doesn’t have the budget for a dedicated video surveillance system,” said Alex Elliot, NextAlarm’s founder and CEO. “No other alarm company is offering this type of service for such a low price.”

NEXTVIEW is currently compatible with popular self-installable wireless cameras. NextAlarm is working on expanding compatibility with other cameras in the near future and will grow over time.

NextAlarm will offer NEXTVIEW free to paid NextAlarm subscribers through July 1, 2007. Ultimately, there will be a nominal fee for use of video services based upon storage requirements, the number of cameras the customer has installed and how long they want to archive video.

NextAlarm will provide demonstrations of NEXTVIEW at The Cable Show in Las Vegas, May 7 to May 9, at CableNET Booth #221
