GuardVision™ Photo Detector
The GuardVision™ Photo Detector is used within Verisure’s professionally monitored burglar alarm system, to detect movement and capture images when activity is identified. Combining an infrared motion detector with image capture capability, it senses activity and provides visual context when your alarm is triggered.
As part of Verisure’s monitored security system, images are securely transmitted to our Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) for review. This helps to verify whether the alarm trigger is a genuine intrusion, before dispatching police or emergency services where appropriate.
What is the GuardVision™ Photo Detector?
GuardVision™ is an alarm motion detector with integrated image capture, designed to detect activity and support alarm verification.
When movement is detected, the device captures a sequence of images and sends an alert. Unlike a standalone motion sensor, GuardVision™ operates within Verisure’s monitored home security system, where connected devices work together to detect and verify activity. This additional visual layer goes beyond standard motion detection, helping improve how alerts are assessed.
By combining motion detection with image capture, GuardVision™ helps reduce unnecessary alerts, and supports a faster, more informed response when a genuine intrusion is detected.
How Does GuardVision™ Work?
If your alarm is triggered, the ARC uses the motion-detected captured images to help assess what is happening. This human verification layer helps distinguish between everyday activity and genuine security concerns.
You can also request live images, or livestream the current camera view from GuardVision at any time through the My Verisure app — perfect for checking on your property when you're away.
This makes GuardVision™ a key component within a modern security alarm and intrusion detection system.
Optimal placement for GuardVision:
GuardVision is installed indoors. During the site survey, our security experts determine the best location within your property for optimal protection. Usually high-traffic areas like hallways, staircases, or rooms that an intruder would pass through to access valuables.
Award-Winning Camera Design
GuardVision™ has received the TV and Camera IF Design Award, and the Red Dot Award for product quality and design. Praised for its minimalist and clean aesthetic, GuardVision™ has been recognised not just for its detection capabilities, but also for how it seamlessly fits into your property.
The minimalistic design blends in with the décor - so neither you, nor more importantly a burglar, will notice its presence. It's discreet, functional, and award-winning.

Privacy, Ethics and Responsible Use
GuardVision™ is designed to respect everyday privacy. Images are only captured when motion is detected; the device does not continuously record, ensuring image capture is limited to relevant events.
All images are securely transmitted and accessed only when required to support verification, forming part of Verisure’s wider commitment to enhanced data security. We embed “Privacy by Design” principles across all of our products.
Where Should a Photo Detector Be Installed?
A photo detector should be positioned in areas where movement is most likely to occur, helping support effective detection. Common locations include hallways, main living spaces, and areas near entry points where an intruder is likely to pass through.
During the site survey, our security experts determine the best location within your property for optimal protection.
GuardVision™ Photo Detector FAQs
A photo detector is a type of alarm motion detector that combines motion sensing with image capture. When movement is detected, it captures a sequence of images to help verify what is happening inside a property.
No. Photo detectors only capture images when motion is detected. They are designed to support intrusion detection, rather than continuous recording.
Photo detectors provide an additional layer of verification beyond standard motion sensors, offering visual context that helps improve how alerts are assessed. Both form part of a comprehensive home security system.
Quality photo detectors should be designed to work in low level lighting conditions. The Verisure GuardVision™ Photo Detector uses infrared night vision to detect movement and capture images in darkness.
