Implementing a reliable business security system is critical for every type of company. But since many different options exist, it can be difficult for business owners to know which system suits their needs.
PROTECTION PLUS offers no-obligation business security audits to help you identify the right solutions based on your unique security requirements. But today, we want to focus specifically on one strongly recommended solution for many businesses: Alarm‑i Visual Alarm Verification.
Here’s what you need to know about Visual Alarm Verification and its importance.
What is Alarm‑i Visual Alarm Verification?
The verification aspect is essential for several reasons:
1) Police are deprioritizing response to alarms without verification.
Over the last few years, police services throughout Ontario have announced they are deprioritizing response to alarm incidents if there is no event verification. Some departments will not respond at all. In May 2023, for example, the Cornwall Police Service was the latest department to announce that officers would respond only if alarms met specific verification requirements, such as video.
If businesses want to be sure that police can be dispatched during a break-in, then they must have Visual Alarm Verification.
2) Priority police response is up to 85% faster with alarm verification.
3) Verified alarms result in apprehension rates of more than 50% (vs. only 0.08% for traditional alarms).
4) Video evidence supports prosecution and insurance claims.
Another key benefit of Alarm‑i Visual Alarm Verification is visual evidence of crimes committed. This footage can be used in court proceedings to ensure a conviction and to increase the chances of recovering stolen goods. Additionally, the footage can support insurance claims for damage and theft.
