Sonic
Fire and Security Ltd’s security and alarm monitoring solutions provide
a highly important false security alarm management system, an integrated CCTV
and public address capability and a real-time fault detection system.
It
is widely acknowledged that traditional bell-only security alarms are not
sufficient for any organisation in the 21st Century. Security alarm monitoring is
required to guarantee that your premises are properly protected 24
hours a day, 365 days a year.
ACTIVE MONITORING Active alarm
monitoring connects your security alarm system to an Alarm Receiving Centre
(ARC) via a phone line and also automatically checks that the phone
line is always there. This is the service that RedCare supplies.
Your in safe hands With RedCare's security alarm monitoring service because your
alarm will be delivered to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) and acted
on within seconds.
TWO SIGNALPATH ACTIVE MONITORING RedCare
works on an existing BT phone line, so you save the cost of the
installation and rent of an additional line without the hassle of being
charged for any added calls, and with a small compatible modem device,
RedCare can even work on the same line as a fax machine, a PC or other
digital equipment. The ACPO Policy 2000 requires all new security alarm
monitoring systems to be capable of sending two alarm signals to the alarm
monitoring centre. This enables the confirmation of an intruder on your
premises and that it is not a false alarm. By applying two security alarm
monitoring paths, if one of the security alarm monitoring paths is attacked the other continues
to monitor for any further alarms and transmits them as 'confirmed
activations'. RedCare GSM and CSL Dual COM plus are capable of sending
a confirmed activation if the radio path or telephone line fails. This
makes it the most advanced and secure alarm monitoring service in the
world.
PASSIVE MONITORING This
is when the security alarm system is connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre
(ARC) via a specified phone line using a Digital Communicator. When the security
alarm is activated, the security alarm monitoring centre receives notification and
calls the police. However, if the phone line has been damaged in any
way, the security alarm signal wont be able to reach the security alarm monitoring centre.
These kinds of alarm monitoring systems usually require a dedicated phone line, that
will charge an additional annual rental cost.
