An alarm system is only as good as the response it generates. When a LOCAL alarm is activated it initiates a siren, which may sound for up to 10 minutes. What then happens in response to the siren will not only depend on people being able to hear it, but their willingness to take some form of action. However, when your MONITORED ALARM is activated a signal is transmitted via your existing phone lines to the Monitoring Station where experienced operators respond by informing any contact you specify. Other than alarms, power failures, low battery & tampers and radio detector signal fails, tampers and low batteries are also transmitted down making monitoring an effective management and diagnostic tool as well as its primary purpose of ensuring multiple contacts for an alarm and in particular, the exact alarm activated.
Patrol Response to the alarm, when required, can be provided by your Local Patrol Company, or any contact you specify, you have full control.
