Alarm Monitoring
Monitoring is a service that increases the effectiveness of an Intruder
Alarm System and enhances security when it is incorporated. It is applicable
to systems installed in both residential and commercial premises. An activation
of the system will not only ring the bells locally but will also automatically
notify the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) over the telephone line, by radio or
using other communications facilities. The ARC will have specific instructions
regarding what to do in such a situation - contact keyholders, the Gardai, an
Alarm Response Service etc. and you can rest assured that someone
has been notified of an activation of your system.
This is a service provided by SAS through a fully Licenced and accredited third party.
Alarm Response & Attendance
The Gardai have changed their policy regarding
Garda Response to alarm activations. They
now insist on a keyholder being present on the premises before a Garda
is despatched there. This, in turn, can expose keyholders to potential
risk (usually in the hours of darkness) and results in a reluctance to
become a keyholder in the first instance.
This potential risk has implications under Health & Safety for
employers and as a result more and more companies are contracting-out
their response to alarms. SAS can arrange for this Alarm Response service
which is provided by properly trained and equipped personnel who are in
communication with a Control Room at all times.
This removes the risk from staff, solves a Health & Safety concern and
provides an effective service to enhance the security at your premises.
This is a service provided by SAS through a fully Licenced and accredited third party.
Remote CCTV Monitoring
The combination of a CCTV system with a service whereby pictures are viewed
remotely in the event of an incident has given rise to a powerful service to
increase the value of CCTV systems and potentially save on the costs associated
with the need to have a Manned Guard on premises.
This Remote CCTV Monitoring has been enhanced by the availability
of high-speed communication and the spread of Broadband.
When an incident occurs on premises where Remote CCTV
Monitoring is installed, the activation (of an intruder
alarm or other specialist device) triggers the transmission
of CCTV pictures to a remote manned Control Room. The Control
Room Operator can then decide on what to do depending on the
circumstances (call the Gardai, instruct the intruders to leave
over a PA system etc.).
Other variations of this service provide a powerful management tool
to an owner/manager who can view their premises remotely and observe
situations live like late opening, early closing, incorrect staff deployment etc.
