What is Alarm
Monitoring?
Your security system is connected via hard line from your
premises to our Monitoring Center. When activated the security
system immediately reports its signals to the Monitoring
Center. The Monitoring Center receiving equipment determines
the type of signal and matches the Alarm System ID and Signal
Codes against the Central Data Base, which is seen by our live
personnel at our 24 Hour Dispatchers.
How does it work?
Upon receiving a signal from your alarm system, Monitoring
Center Dispatchers will immediately call your premises or
whomever you instruct us to contact to verify the cause of the
alarm signal. If the |
premise phone is
answered the respondent is required to give a secret password
or account number that is stored securely in our databases. If
we do not receive an answer that is correct or if an answering
machine picks up, we can immediately dispatch the local
authorities and/or contact your approved call list. If a smoke
detector signal is received, we will call premises to verify
the alarm and if we receive no verification we dispatch the
fire department.
Why is monitoring
so important?
Every time your
security system sends a signal (burglary, medical emergency,
etc.) the monitoring center is responsible for taking action.
