RedCARE central station monitoring is a high integrity communication link that alerts a remote
manned central station the second your alarm system is activated.
Central station upon receiving your alarm will then carry out a set procedure in accordance
with your specific instructions i.e. call fire service, contact keyholders, verify alarm with site.

What
are the benefits?
|
|
To
start, continuous alarm monitoring. Any fire system fitted
with automatic smoke detectors, no matter how sophisticated
or otherwise, is only good for as long as the building is
occupied. During silent hours, a fire alarm may occur and
a real fire could continue to burn until spotted by neighbours
or passers by. Even in premises with twenty-four hour security,
a guard may have a probelm that prevents him/her from alerting
the fire service or may even be trapped. RedCARE also provides
continuous telephone line monitoring from your site to the
cetnral station via the BT host computer. You also benefit
from full immunity to any further national telephone renumbering
changes.
