Alarm monitoring involves connecting the fire detection system to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) through a special modem (e.g. DualCom, RedCare). When the fire alarm is triggered, the modem instantly communicates the alarm to the fire brigade and dedicated person or key holder. This ensures that minimal time is wasted between the fire being detected and the fire brigade being called - which could result in lives saved!
Since 2002, BS 5839-1 - British Standards for fire detection and fire alarm systems in buildings, recommends that all fire detection systems, which have been installed to protect property, should be able to automatically transmit a fire signal to an alarm receiving centre. This enables the building to be protected even when unoccupied.
Alarm Monitoring provides the following benefits:
Protects your building even when unoccupied
Automatically alerts the Alarm Receiving Centre within seconds
Ready every second of the day, 365 days a year
