Monitoring Station
............................................................................................................
If
your system is monitored, it will call the monitoring station using your
regular Bell Canada phone lines in the event of an emergency. The system
will give detailed information of the type of emergency at the location. The
monitoring station will know if the police, ambulance or fire department
need to be dispatched. Most insurance companies will give a substantial
discount on your insurance premiums if you have a monitored security system
including smoke-detectors. Please call your insurance broker for the exact
discount.
If the system is at a commercial premises, it can monitor who turns the
system on or off at any time of the day or night. A record of this
information is faxed to the customer on a monthly basis. This is referred to
as monitoring with opening and closings.
A cellular back-up can also be installed, so if the Bell Canada telephone
lines are compromised, the monitoring station will still receive cellular
signals from the security system.
A high security or DVAC line can be installed by Bell Canada and then used
by the security system to send and receive emergency signals to and from the
monitoring station. These lines are constantly monitored and the monitoring
station will know if they have been cut and can dispatch the authorities if
this occurs.
Solo Security is proud to use Counterforce as its monitoring station of
choice. Counterforce is a ULC listed and ISO 9002 monitoring station
operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, within the GTA. Counterforce is
a sister company Of Chubb Security and both are part of the UTC Corporation.
Please refer to www.counterforce.com for the police policy for your area and
also, please review the Emerald Security guard response. Guard response is a
good alternative to conventional police response and as it is purely to
respond to security systems, guard response is normally faster than police
response.
