Remote Fire Alarm Monitoring Explained
Remote fire alarm monitoring involves transmitting fire alarm signals to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) via landline, cellular network, or IP network. When an alarm is triggered:
- The signal is sent to the monitoring center.
- A certified operative verifies the alarm, distinguishing between false alarms and actual emergencies.
- Upon confirmation, immediate action is taken, such as contacting the fire brigade or notifying keyholders.
- This process ensures faster response times, reduced unnecessary call outs, and improved overall security.
Benefits of Remote Fire Alarm Monitoring
• Quicker Response Times: Professional monitoring ensures that emergency services are alerted immediately.
• Reduced Costs: Minimize the need for physical presence on-site and lower false alarm incidences.
• Improved Security: Early detection helps reduce fire spread, property damage, and potential harm to lives.
