What is Alarm Monitoring and Why is It So Important?
How often do you worry about the safety of your family, your home or your business? If you have a security system – or are planning to install one – you can never truly have peace of mind unless the system is equipped with alarm monitoring.
Alarm monitoring gives you the assurance that security professionals are watching out for you and your safety 24 hours a day.
What is alarm monitoring?
With a monitored system, an outside security station—sometimes called a monitoring center or central station—is alerted as soon as your alarm goes off. Security specialists assess the alarm signal and quickly contact the appropriate authorities to respond to your emergency, whether it’s a break-in, fire or something else.
No matter what you’re doing or where you are, your home or business is optimally protected for any potential scenario.
Why a monitored security system is so crucial
Alarm monitoring provides vital benefits for your security, safety and peace of mind:
- Vacations that feel like vacations. If you have an unmonitored system, and there’s an emergency within your home or business while you’re away, you may not find out until it’s too late. With a monitored system, you’ll have a professional team that’s poised to respond day or night, so you can rest easy knowing there’s a watchful eye over your property while you’re away.
- Help is on the way no matter what. If you’re at home during a fire or break-in but are unresponsive or unable to call for help, a monitored system ensures authorities will be notified immediately and dispatched to your location. When you’re not able to act, the monitored system is. It’s the ultimate safeguard.
- False alarm detection. A monitored system helps verify if it’s a true emergency or a false alarm. In fact, when video monitoring is equipped, a security professional will be able to see exactly what caused the alarm, which can trigger priority police dispatch and a faster response rate. In Toronto, video-verified emergencies receive Priority Policy Response, which is up to 85% faster and results in an arrest rate of more than 50%.
- The right help always. The trained security professionals at the monitoring station are equipped to know exactly what help you need, so the proper authorities will be alerted for the specific emergency, such as fire, burglaries, floods and more. Every emergency will get a specific, targeted response each time.
