EyeQ Monitoring provides AI-driven remote video surveillance and business intelligence solutions across North America. The company designs, installs, and operates advanced security systems that combine AI-powered analytics with a team of US-based agents to offer 24/7 proactive security and threat response. This service, known as Virtual Guard, offers live audio intervention and direct communication with authorities, significantly reducing costs compared to traditional on-site guards.
The company's origins trace back to a regional guard company in 2007, which began using cameras on security trailers to provide efficient remote monitoring. In 2014, recognizing the industry's shift from analog to digital surveillance, Markus Scott acquired the company through a search fund after earning his MBA from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. This led to a period of accelerated growth and technological transformation, with new leadership formally established in 2015. Based in the Atlanta area, EyeQ has since expanded its footprint to operate in over 42 states.
EyeQ's business model is based on providing an end-to-end service that includes site design, equipment installation and maintenance, and continuous monitoring. The firm primarily serves clients in markets such as automotive dealerships, commercial real estate, and multifamily housing complexes. Beyond security, the company leverages its technology to deliver operational business intelligence. A key milestone was the 2020 acquisition of MDL autoMation, which added IoT and SaaS-based solutions for process improvement, automated customer recognition, and vehicle tracking for auto dealers. In June 2025, EyeQ secured a strategic growth investment from WestView Capital Partners to support market expansion and the development of its analytics capabilities.
