PowerZone Home Specifications

Alarm monitoring around the clock through Advanced Independent Monitoring. We provide wired and wireless comms systems which are installed to the highest standards by qualified SSAIB approved security engineers. Insurance companies and regional police forces are recommending that installed alarms should be monitored.

24 Hour Alarm Monitoring

PowerZone provides a remote monitoring service around the clock. This includes the monitoring of intruder, personal attack, fire alarms and building management systems. When an alarm is activated, the Alarm Receiving Centre operators will immediately notify the emergency services in the event of a fire, break-in or personal attack.

Subscribing to Level 1 Protection will ensure immediate police response.

Dual Alarm Receiving Centres

Alarm Receiving Centres are amongst the most advanced in the world, providing you with the reassurance of monitoring 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They also provide very high levels of security, as alarm signals are directed into a number of our Alarm Receiving Centres with sites simultaneously backing each other up.

Digital Communicator Monitoring

This is a cost effective method of monitoring which sends the alarm signal down the telephone line to the Alarm Receiving Centre. Our technology enables the alarm panel to automatically dial the Alarm Receiving Centre and transmit a signal revealing the status of the panel.

RedCARE Monitoring

BT RedCARE uses non-dialling technology which continuously monitors the telephone line integrity, thereby detecting line cuts and faults within seconds. It therefore represents a major security enhancement which is fully endorsed by leading insurers.

Dual Path Monitoring

This is a unique method of monitoring designed to operate with two separate signalling paths, one by radio and the other by telephone line. The advantages of dual path signalling are that in the event of accidental or deliberate telecommunications failure on one signalling path, a signal will still be sent to the Alarm Receiving Centres by the other signalling path.

CCTV Remote Monitoring

Remote monitoring through CCTV technology provides an effective method of monitoring a site reducing the need for permanent manned guarding. From the Alarm Receiving Centre, our operators can observe activity that might be taking place on site. CCTV remote monitoring provides perimeter protection as well as visual verification.

Alarm Verification

By using confirmed alarm technology our operators can reduce false activations and pass additional valuable information to the emergency services.

False Alarm Prevention

False alarms can occur when an alarm is activated due to situations such as the incorrect operation of the alarm system, or windows and doors not being properly secured, or the path of a detector being interrupted through insecure stock. The activated alarm signal reaches the Alarm Receiving Centre and filtering techniques are applied before the emergency services are contacted. It is important that the number of false alarms is reduced as police attendance to the site could be affected.
