WHAT IS MONITORING? WHAT INFORMATION IS PROVIDED?

One of the first decisions to be made after your decision to install a 'security/alarm system, is whether or not to have your security/alarm system, monitored. In the professional's mind, a Monitoring Service completes the system, and your protection. If the system is a monitored system, it will be dialing a 'monitoring station' - reaching out to the rest of the world -- as well as sounding sirens, at the first sign of an intrusion.

Because the monitoring station is accessed by telephone, it can be located anywhere; however ACTION ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS LTD. is pleased to partner with a United Laboratory approved Company, to provide this facility. Local Business serving local people: with local knowledge working for you..

When the alarm reaches this facility, the personnel there begin to make a series of phone calls, according to the type of alarm and your instructions on who should be called, and in what sequence on your behalf. Many times these calls are made directly to Municipal Emergency Services: Police, Fire, Ambulance etc. This is especially true, for the devices in your system that are monitored on a 24/7 basis.

In addition to these emergency communications, the telephone connection in a monitored system is used on a scheduled basis to ensure system availability through preventative basis. This completely transparent service, enables ACTION ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS to warn you of potential equipment failures like low batteries, or even identify devices that have failed and actually jeopardize the entire functionality of the system. This is another significant component of the Monitoring service.

Imagine your mechanic phoning you to tell you that your brakes need service!
