24 Hour Monitored Alarms

24 Hour monitored alarms provide protection around the clock. Simply detecting intrusion is not enough. Help must be summoned without delay. Monitored burglar and fire alarms connected to a 24 hour monitoring service is the answer.
Traditional bells-only alarms may alert staff, but outside business hours they offer little protection. Police forces will not respond to a ringing bell unless there is evidence of an offence in progress.

Monitored Alarm Systems

Consequently insurers insist on 24 hour monitored alarm systems. These provide 24 hour, 365 day monitoring by skilled operators in our Alarm Receiving Centre. Systems employ sequential Audio or Visual verification to minimise false alarms and avoid the risk of losing police response.
At ADT we pioneered 24-hour remote monitoring. Our Alarm receiving Centres have the NACOSS Gold Approval for monitored burglar alarms and use a range of alarm signalling technology, from digital communicators to Redcar - which detects cut lines - and dual signalling systems with back-up communication paths.

If your organisation has multiple sites our Security Information Database program can provide a complete daily download of all your alarm systems operations. We can even provide text messaging to alert you instantly when an alarm is activated.

DD243 ACPO - Compliance on Monitored Burglar Alarms

The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) requires compliance on Burglar Alarms to DD243. This recommends that high priority is only given to alarms which are confirmed.
Alarm systems must conform to the relevant British or European Standards and should include audio, visual or Sequential confirmation technology.
