What is a Security System?
A security system consists of a control panel which functions as a central
computer, receiving messages form a number of sensors that act as the "eyes" and
"ears" of the system. If the system is "armed" and a signal is received by the
panel it automatically dials a Central Monitoring Station via a built-in
telephone communicator. The station operator than alerts the appropriate
authorities.
What generally makes up a security system?
Generally included in a security system are:
- Keypads located near common entry doors, allowing you to control
the system
- Magnetic contact to protect doors and windows that open
- Glassbreak sensors to protect windows and glass doors
- Motion sensors to detect movement within a defined area
- Panic switches that can be manually operated
- Sirens and sounders to sound an alarm in your home
- Smoke detectors to detect smoke and fire
- A control panel that operates the entire system
How does monitored security work?
(1) When your security system is activated, emergency signal is transmitted.
(2) Your system sends that signal to the central station via Monital's redundant
800 toll free network, the most reliable network ever. (3) Monital's computer
system automatically determines the nature of your emergency and displays this
data to a highly trained central station operator. (4) Monital's operators call
your premises. If there is no answer or the correct passcode cannot be given,
the proper authorities are immediately dispatched. (5) The time and date of your
emergency, and an exact sequence of actions taken by your Monital operator is
recorded, and this information is transmitted to your alarm dealer.
