Remote Alarm Monitoring
Whilst the vast majority of Intruder Alarm Systems will activate an external warning
siren, most are capable of so much more. A Knight Installations intruder alarm systems
can also include Remote Alarm Monitoring.
Remote Monitoring allows your Intruder Alarm
System to attract a police response by transmitting alarm signals via the telephone
network to our 24Hr Alarm Receiving Centre.
Digital Communicator - A digital communicator transmits alarm messages via the Telephone
Network and can be connected to any standard telephone line whether provided by British
Telecom or your local cable operator, without modification or alteration to your
service. It is recommended however, that connection is made to a dedicated "out-going
calls only" telephone line, or that the line has an ex-directory telephone number.
BT Redcare / Redcare GSM - If a higher degree of security is required then BT Redcare
is most often the system of choice. Signals are sent instantly without the need to
dial up, and can even be sent whilst the telephone line is being used for other calls.
In addition to this the Redcare Host constantly polls the alarm system to check on
its condition. If the communication path to the system has been damaged or tampered
with the Central Station will be notified that the telephone line has been cut.
Redcare GSM offers additional security by adding a back-up service across the GSM
(Radio/Mobilephone) Network. If either signalling path should fail for any reason,
a back-up alternate path will continue to signal alarm conditions to the monitoring
centre. Increasingly, insurers are demanding Redcare GSM connections for high risk
/ commercial installations as its meets the highest standards laid down in the new
European Standard for Alarm Installations BS EN50131.
