Get startedBenefits of a Monitored Fire and Security System
By having a monitored fire and security system you are ensuring that your property and assets are watched over 24 hours a day 365 days a year. This includes the monitoring of intruder, personal attack and fire alarms as well as building management systems.
What is an ADT Monitored Security System?
ADT monitored security systems are connected to our UK central Alarm Receiving Centres (ARC). When an alarm is activated, our operators in the ARC are alerted and can notify the appropriate emergency services in the event of an emergency such as a burglary, a fire or a personal attack.
Police forces will not respond to a ringing bell or siren unless there is evidence of an offence in progress or a 999 call is made with information about an offence being commited. A monitored alarm can provide a confirmed signal to pass to the emergency services – often a requirement of your insurers.
Keyholders for the protected building will also be notified, keyholders can include building managers or keyholding response companies who can ensure that the premise is secure after an incident and take any actions required quickly to minimise impact on your business.
Intruder Monitoring
Simply detecting an intruder and operating local sounders (bells or sirens) at the building is not enough, help should be summoned without delay. Traditional bell-only alarms may alert staff or passers by, but outside business hours they offer little protection. An alarm connected to a monitoring service operating 24hours a day, 365 days a year and manned by trained security proffesionals is the answer.
ADT provide 24/365 monitoring by skilled operators in our Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) quickly confirming alarms and notifying police, keyholders or service engineers. ADT’s advanced systems minimise false alarms and avoids the risk of losing police response.
Fire Monitoring
Fire is a serious danger to the ongoing survival of any business – over 80% of single site businesses cease trading within 18 months of being subject to a fire. For any business having reliable and effective fire detection is essential. Most fires start in the small hours when buildings are unattended. Having reliable automatic detection linked to an Alarm Receiving Centre is the only way to ensure a fire brigade response
Our fire monitoring services saves lives by enabling fast alerts for the emergency services. As soon as signs of fire are detected a signal is transmitted to the ADT Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) and the local fire service alerted along with keyholders.
