A alarm monitoring is incomplete without being properly monitored. If the alarm system remains unattended it would encourage burglars and intruders to take advantage of the situation and cause damage to the property.
Alarm Monitoring occurs with the central monitoring station receiving alert signals from the panel regarding a security breach. Once the security system is armed and in case a breach occurs then the alarms get triggered off sending signals to the central panel either via phone or other means like internet etc. Once the central panel receives the signal all information regarding the breach of security and its location gets stored in the computer. On the basis of this feed authorities are alerted as well as the property owners are notified.
On the basis of the requirement of the customers there are different alarm monitoring systems available in the market:
- The basic and most common alarm monitoring system is the standard one that uses the telephone line. Here the central panel receives the alarm signals through the telephone lines. In return the operator of the central panel calls the telephone number registered with it to ensure that everything is in control. To confirm the safety of the inhabitants, a pre determined password is asked for and in case a wrong password is provided the operator alerts the concerned authority for necessary action.
- With the advancement of technology, more and more people are relying on monitoring over the internet. Now a day most of the control panels have the protocol module for internet monitoring built within them. Older panels can be updated by using software’s to incorporate the module for internet monitoring. Internet alarm monitoring also serves the purpose of a back up monitoring system in case the phone lines in the property fail.
- Monitoring with GSM facility has also been introduced in the market. This has proved to be most beneficial in cases where there are no telephone or internet connections. In this version of alarm monitoring signals are sent to the control panel via cellular channels.
- Video monitoring is another popular alarm monitoring system employed by large organizations to keep a close track of misconduct within the premises. In this case the central panel is programmed to respond to certain situations like fire, burglary, earthquake etc so that immediate alert signals are set off to the concerned authorities for proper action. The additional feature about this monitoring system is that one can get access to complete video footage and documented evidence for an incident.
