The control room, where the alarm signal is received, has the latest in monitoring technology to ensure the alarms are detected quickly and the outbound phone calls are made immediately. So you will be called by trained staff that can carry out your instructions. So when you are away from your property you can rest assured that it is being monitored for you.
Our Alarm monitoring service can be delivered using a variety of technologies. These include:
Telephone lines: Normal telephone lines on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) are used to transmit the alarm signal from the alarm panel. This is by far the most common form of alarm transmission. The benefits of using a telephone line include the lower cost of monitoring and there is no additional hardware to purchase as all modern alarm panels have in built diallers.
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service): GPRS transmission uses a SIM card like in your mobile phone but sends data instead of voice. With GPRS monitoring there are no wires to cut so your can expect your alarm signal to get to the control room everytime.
Internet Protocol (IP): With voice over internet protocol (VOIP) telephone systems increasing in popularity IP as an alarm transmission technology is increasing.
Multipath: In high security installations a combination of the technologies outlined here may be used.
