Remote Monitoring
Remote monitoring is a service given by a dedicated professional company
who will monitor a security system for an annual fee.
A typical example would be a car sales forecourt – Outside of trading
hours the monitoring station will monitor the security system following
an alarm or as part of an agreed monitoring schedule.
If an intruder is detected the operator will initiate an agreed response
utilizing audio warnings, alerting a manned patrol or requesting a
priority police response.
Historically, remote monitoring was a prohibitively expensive option and
frequently the hardware and transmission costs detracted from the appeal
to many end users.
However, with the rapid growth of high-speed broadband connections, and
products like the Concept Pro VXM4B, remote monitoring has now become a
much more affordable option.
