Does your business need a monitored fire alarm?
Fire alarms provide early fire warning, alerting the building’s occupants to evacuate the building and call the emergency services. But what happens if a fire breaks out and the building is unoccupied? By the time someone has heard and responded to the alarm, the fire may have already spread and caused catastrophic damage.
However, there is a solution to prevent this situation from occurring. A monitored fire alarm will immediately alert someone as soon as it’s triggered – 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without human intervention.
Since time is of the essence when minimising fire damage, this immediate response mechanism is the best way to protect your building.
⇒ A fire triggers the alarm in the usual manner in your building
⇒ The alarm sends a signal via a landline or 3G/4G phone network to a dedicated 24/7 monitoring centre.
⇒ The monitoring centre contacts the property key holders and, if applicable, the fire brigade.
⇒ The fire brigade attends the property to tackle the fire.
Once installed, monitored alarms cost roughly the same as a standard alarm to maintain.
At Tamar Security, we install several types of secure monitoring systems to suit different risks and insurance requirements. Some of the systems we install use two secure signalling paths to communicate with the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). These are the most secure alarm signalling services and protect against the risks of failed alarm signals.
