Monitoring Systems
Reliable, affordable fire protection for your business
When dealing with your livelihood and your people, you can't afford to make the wrong decision about fire detection and monitoring.
To help you, here are some of the various fire alarm signaling options available for your business.
'Bells only'
Unfortunately, the problem with this type of alarm system is that ringing bells are seen as a nuisance and are usually ignored and reliant on someone taking appropriate action.
Passive monitoring
When the fire alarm is triggered, the Alarm Receiving Centre receive notification via a phone line and may call the emergency services, as required. The problem with this system is that if the phone line is cut the alarm will not reach the Alarm Receiving Centre and they will be unable to notify the emergency services.
Active monitoring
Again, the alarm system is connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre via a phone line. The phone line is checked continuously and if there are any interruptions a warning signal will be delivered to the Alarm Receiving Centre. This means that your alarm signaling can never be compromised without the knowledge of the Alarm Receiving Centre.
Active monitoring using dual signaling paths
Two alarm signaling paths are used - the telephone line and a radio network. If one of these paths is attacked, or fails, the other continues to monitor your alarm regardless of which one fails first.
