Alarm Monitoring

24 hour security presence

Police, insurers and security specialists all agree that the greatest improvement you can make to your home security is to link your security system to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) that can inform the local Police if an intrusion takes place. The knowledge that the Police can be on the scene within minutes is reassuring.

 

dsc security know a fast response is crucial, because:

 There are many ways to communicate your system to an ARC, these include a Digital Communicator, Classic Redcare, Redcare GSM, Dualcom GPRS or Emizon 21.   Digital Communicator and the Classic Redcare are known as Single Path Monitoring equipment and the others are known as Dual Path Monitoring. Dual Path Monitoring means that if the telephone line gets cut, a signal can still be received at the ARC.  If you use one if the single path systems, either a Digital Communicator or Classic Redcare, then if your telephone line is cut, no more signals can be sent through to the ARC, by the Alarm System.

Qualifying for Police Response

Following the latest guidelines issued by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), many police forces will not attend alarms from non-monitored systems unless there's also first hand evidence of a crime, whether from an owner or a member of the public phoning in.

The Police will attend an alarm signal routed via an Alarm Receiving Centre, from a monitored alarm that qualifies for Police Response.
