Monitored Systems
​
Every security system can be connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre which is operational 24 hours a day.
​
There are several methods by which alarm signals can be transmitted through to the Alarm Receiving Centre:
​
-
Digital Communicators – Connected to telephone lines to dial the monitoring centre and pass alarm signals.
​
-
BT Redcare – Multiple options including PSTN, GPRS and IP/Com
​
-
CSL – Multiple options including PSTN, GPRS and IP/Com
The type of monitoring recommended is typically based on the grade of system being installed and the level risk for the property or premises.
