Latest Technologies For Security Alarm Monitoring System

By Roy Van Rivero


Alarm monitoring systems are an important security measure that every building or facility should implement. It can save lives of people who are working within as well as of those from the immediate environs, from any untoward incidents. Having said that, it is also important to note that one must not only install an alarm system just to fulfill building requirements; he must sees to it that the system has passed the industry standards and has been proven to be effective in addressing several types of security threat - whether it is nature's strike or man-made.

As a building owner, one necessary step you can take is to become familiar with the latest technologies used for security, and following some alarm monitoring service providers is a big help. In this way, you can easily choose which technology to use for your own facility; which one can work better for the type of facility you have.

For the purpose of giving you some general insights about security alarm systems being used by a number of alarm monitoring service providers for their clients, I thought it would be a good idea to share the most common types of these below:

Video monitoring system -- this is a big help for businesses/establishment most especially if you have limited manpower to watch over the entire facility. Security cameras for video surveillance systems eliminate false alarm dispatches as visual data ensures the authenticity of the situation, which can help authorities to decide whether to deliver a high priority response or not. (Some popular brands: Foscam; SVAT; and Sharx Security)

Fire alarm system - this is another yet an important installation that should be present in every facility as fire accidents are one of the leading causes of fatalities involving man-made calamities. Fire alarm monitoring services you can find around include fire suppression and sprinkler monitoring as well as safety notification protocols. (Some popular brands: SimplexGrinnell; Cerberus PRO; Ajax Chubb Varel(TM))

Water detection system - aside from fire, waters can also be a cause of accident inside a facility; in fact, water damage ranks second (next to power outage) as the leading cause of business interruption. There are a number of water leak monitoring systems you can find in the market today, which are aimed at protecting facilities and other assets against water-related problems. (Some popular brands: Honeywell; FloodMaster)

Elevator monitoring - sometimes overlooked by some building facilities;yet, it is important as well as part of your overall monitoring system, helping to provide additional safety for both clients and employees and for the facility itself. (Some popular brands: Lift-Net(R); Memcom)
