Smarter security for your business

In the world of alarm monitoring, monitored security means you’ve done more than just install a fire or theft alarm device. It means you’ve invested in professional support to look after your premises 24 hours a day and notify you of any threats. If your alarm goes off, no matter what time of day or night, your security provider will quickly assess the situation and respond.

• The faster you respond to a natural disaster, the less damage to your business.
• You can leave fire and intruder responses to the appropriate professionals.
• There’s less disruption to your and your team’s work/life balance.
• Some insurers require fire alarm monitoring as a condition of cover.

Alarm monitoring means there is a security professional at the other end keeping track of your premises. An unmonitored security system is (simply put) a noise-maker. It might be a deterrent for bad agents, but you or your people staff will need to be available to respond to every trigger… a fire or flood won’t be put off by harsh sounds alone.

Alarm monitoring, alarm response and keyholding are different services within the security world. Alarm monitoring means a team is scanning for threats 24/7 and will respond by alerting you or the appropriate first responders. Alarm response lets your security service attend the site to check all possible entry and hiding points and prepare a report on that alarm activation. Keyholding takes that one step further and gives your security partner access to the building to complete a full sweep and take any action required.

The best alarm system for your business is one that includes alarm monitoring services. We can immediately notify you – or the designated keyholder – of the alarm activation. And, in the event of an intruder or fire, alert the emergency services and direct them to the scene. For more support, our alarm monitoring can be combined with our mobile alarm response and keyholding services. That further reduces the impact on yourself and your staff. And it’s the fastest way to identify security or fire risks to ensure prompt action is taken.
