Fire Alarm Remote System Monitoring
What is fire alarm remote monitoring?
A fire alarm system becomes remotely monitored when a control centre is connected to the building’s system. This control centre monitors all fire alarm activity and will contact a specific list of people and/or the fire brigade in the event of a fire alarm activation or fault.
Does a Fire Alarm Need to be Monitored?
Not many buildings are occupied 24/7. Even if these buildings have a professionally installed and maintained fire alarm system, if a fire ignites when the building is empty, the building (and everything in it) is in danger.
For insurance and peace of mind reasons, remote fire alarm monitoring is the chosen solution for an increasing number of businesses.
What are the benefits of a fire alarm remote monitoring system?
Remote monitoring is an effective and relatively inexpensive solution in buildings that aren’t staffed 24/7. Insurance companies sometimes require the installation of remote monitoring and may even offer reduced premiums to their customers who subscribe to a remote monitoring service.
How does fire alarm system remote monitoring work?
Once a small piece of electronic equipment is installed inside the fire alarm panel and a subscription to the service set up, the fire alarm is then able to communicate with a monitoring control centre.
