Home Security Monitoring | Security System Monitoring

Home security monitoring or security system monitoring, is a service whereby your own home alarm system is connected to an external monitoring network via a telephone line. Any unusual activity that is picked up, prompts your security system to send a warning via the telephone connection, to the network that is monitoring your house.

Monitoring burglar alarms through a network means that your house is protected around the clock. Whenever your alarm is activated, the monitoring service will know about it.

That's useful, because there could well be a time when you are away from home and your alarm goes off, just like when you are at work, for instance, or away on vacation.

Of all the different systems, the home monitoring is probably the most effective because your house is under constant guard.

Monitoring will work with whatever type of security alarm system is fitted. An auto dialing unit is installed within the control panel, and it will automatically dial an alert to the call centre when an alarm - fire, smoke or burglar (depending on your system) - is activated. Upon activation and receipt of an alarm, the monitoring system will take whatever action has been pre-determined in their service agreement.

As soon as the system is activated the monitoring system goes 'live' and your system is monitored from the security monitoring network's call centre. If your alarm is triggered they follow it up. Your security system is tracked 24/7/365.

Home security monitoring takes a lot of the worry out of arranging a home alarm system. Professional installers will fit a system to your requirements  - it can normally be installed in 4 to 8 hours - that provides you with security cover 24/7.
