An Alarm and Monitoring System is a set of security devices. First, it includes alarms with all their parts, components and accessories that detect and warn of an unauthorized or dangerous event.
An alarm system usually includes a control panel to process all the information, plus detection systems and sirens that identify and signal when an intrusion or other event occurs. The monitoring center, in turn, is the technology and human team connected to the alarm system.
It is responsible for verifying and staying alert to any situation in order to act on the alarm signal. The best and most efficient systems, like HUNTER's, can include security cameras and intercoms.
The alarm and monitoring system is activated when an event occurs. This may be an intrusion by an unauthorized person or by someone who does not follow entry protocols.
Depending on the purpose of the alarms, the event may also be a rise in temperature or the appearance of smoke suggesting a possible fire. The event is detected by different types of sensors, such as motion, heat, temperature or smoke detectors, or magnetic contacts.
The alarm alert is triggered and a siren starts sounding so people in the area can hear it. A signal is also sent to the monitoring center so it can begin its alert and security protocols.
Security cameras begin recording the event that triggered the alarm. In most cases, the surveillance cameras were already recording before the event occurred.
The monitoring center receives a short clip of the recorded events that triggered the alarm system. It also includes an extra 10 seconds before and 10 seconds after the event.
For a short period of time, a monitoring center operator gets direct access to the security cameras to verify what happened.
The monitoring center contacts verification and response units. These may be motorcycle units or police vehicles alerted to the situation. In every case, HUNTER makes sure the property where the alarm went off gets priority for unit dispatch.
That is how the HUNTER Alarm and Monitoring System works. Every step is carefully planned to ensure an immediate response and active protection against any event that triggers the alarm.
