AS2201 GRADE A1 MONITORING
Certified Grade A1 Monitoring Centre

Most people don't want to get involved and simply ignore alarm sirens, and by law in Australia sirens must shut down after about 5 minutes anyway. Continuous back-to-base monitoring is therefore a key element for anyone seeking serious security coverage, with insurers often requiring this level of protection. When a monitored security detector activates, the alarm panel automatically calls the monitoring centre in a matter of seconds as well as sounding local sirens. Trained personnel quickly telephone to check if the alarm is valid, and if there's any doubt can quickly dispatch security patrols or other responding personnel. You literally have trained Operators capable of watching over you and your property anytime 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from our wholly owned Australian Standards (AS2201.2.A1) certified monitoring centre.
