ALARM MONITORING AND RESPONSE

With professional security monitoring services, your entire security and fire detection systems are connected to an external Alarm Response Centre (ARC) to release round the clock security analysis, alarm authentication, and provide the appropriate response.

Service Specifics

The facility comprises of Sequential and Visual verification, combining your CCTV & Video Surveillance and your Intruder Alarm Systems, to achieve a professional layer of protection.

These systems use consecutive information to help ARC technicians authenticate an alarm activation as a positive or a negative, thus reducing false alarms. Your interests are monitored by a team and several detectors with varying capabilities, intersecting and activated at regular intervals. This helps ensure accurate detection of any false positives, so that appropriate action can be taken and concentrated on real alarms.

Visual Verification is an additional level of Alarm Monitoring performance. Viewed in real time, your CCTV & Video Surveillance security systems transmit verified image data to the Alarm Monitoring and Response providers who will take action appropriately.

Versatility

Unmonitored VS Professional Alarm Monitoring

The implementation of an alarm to your premises will always increase your level of protection and provide significant advantages. However, if they are unmonitored there can be a drastic reduction in the ability to respond. If you have forgotten to turn it on then it is non-functional. If you are not home, then you are not aware and can only rely on the noise startling the intruder or a neighbour calling a response team. We must also be mindful that the intruder may be persistent and you should always contact an appropriate response unit. One must never approach an intruder in any way, it is best left to those who are trained and equipped to do so.

Some modern alarm monitoring systems come equipped with advanced technology that allows remote access and control but these too are better served when provided by the monitoring service provider. They will ensure that any unsanctioned entry or questionable activity activates an immediate response to the correct division.

Professional alarm monitoring goes a lot further than just the intruder, remember that other services can also have severe outcomes (fire, injury, weapons etc.) and additionally require responses which could be too critical, dangerous or technical for you to control. Rapid alerts to law enforcement increases the chance of arresting intruders, recovering possessions and reducing damage, repairs or replacements. External monitoring provides the 24-hour surveillance which gives you peace of mind and allows you to get on with your life knowing, that you are covered and the system is always on whatever your activities.
