Monitored
Alarm Systems, with IDSS Provide The Following Benefits:
Police
Response for Monitored Alarms
·
The
Police will no longer respond to a bell-only alarm, unless there is
additional evidence of a crime being committed. The Police will respond
to a monitored alarm which qualifies for Police response.
·
However
if you have a bell-only alarm system you are relying on your neighbors to
quickly come to your aid, which may put them at risk, and you cannot be
sure that they will always be there to respond.
Immediate
Response for Monitored Personal Attack Button
·
A
'Personal Attack' signal from a monitored alarm will be immediately
policed. With a bell-only alarm you are relying on a neighbor coming to
your aid.
·
They
work well in home bedrooms and business counters.
Duress
Signal
·
With
a monitored alarm you can send a secret code signal to the Alarm
Receiving Center if you are forced to turn off the alarm. With a
bell-only alarm the bell would be stopped and no one would be alerted to
help you.
Fire
Safety
·
Most
battery operated smoke detectors are not properly maintained and a
conventional stand-alone smoke detector may not activate fast enough to
ensure the occupants are woken up in time.
·
IDSS's
unique Carbon Monoxide Fire Detector detects lethal smoldering fires much
quicker than conventional smoke detectors. When linked in to your
monitored alarm system, we can call the Fire Brigade if you are
incapacitated. The Fire monitoring part of the alarm system stays 'set'
even if the main intruder alarm is not 'set'.
Fire
Protection
·
If
you are not in the house and fire breaks out, you are relying on a
neighbor or passer-by to call the Fire Brigade.
·
With
IDSS monitoring the monitored Fire Detector can rapidly detect the fire,
and our Alarm Receiving Center will quickly call the Fire Brigade.
Emergency
Help
·
If
you require emergency medical assistance you can press an 'Assistance' button
on your panel and we will call you to find out what is wrong. We can then
phone a key holder to assist you, or in some areas we may be able to
contact the Ambulance Service directly, (although we cannot guarantee
that the Ambulance Service will accept the call).
Online
Fault Rectification
·
With
a bell only alarm, if a fault develops an Engineer will most likely need
to attend the site. The homeowner will have to wait for an Engineer to
arrive.
·
With
a monitored alarm using IDSS's latest RESOLVE technology, we can send an
"electronic tool box" down the monitoring line, to carry out
fault diagnostics and rectifications. More than 65% of faults can be
resolved without the need for an Engineer to attend, so saving the
homeowner the time of waiting for the Engineer.
False
Alarm Management
·
With
a monitored alarm you have an internal siren to deter the burglar, but
you do not necessarily need a loud external siren because you are not
relying on neighbors/passers by to come to your
aid (they very rarely will - most neighbors get fed up with ringing
burglar alarms).
·
If
you are away for a period of time (e.g. on holiday) and there is a
problem with your alarm which requires entry to the house to rectify we
can alert a key holder.
·
With
a bell-only system a fault may persist for the whole time you are away,
and no one may be available to attend to the problem.
Toxic
Gas Monitoring
·
We
can add Carbon Monoxide detectors (as distinct from Carbon Monoxide Fire
detectors) to systems, to detect faulty boilers etc.
·
These
are becoming more popular among Residential and Commercial clients.
