What is an alarm receiving centre?
An alarm receiving centre is a 24/7 staffed control centre that receives alarm notifications, verifies them and, where necessary, takes action immediately. This can range from alerting the emergency services to warning keyholders or security services.
The alarm receiving centre continuously monitors the operation of the alarm system, registers tampering attempts and tests the connections at least once a day. Customers can personalise notification procedures, such as setting specific contact preferences.
In the event of incidents such as burglary, fire or medical emergencies, the alarm receiving centre ensures that the right steps are taken quickly and appropriately, which guarantees safety and a fast response.
In short:
- Immediate follow-up on an alarm notification
- Dispatch of emergency services for verified alerts
- Daily check that the alarm system is online
- Professional monitoring, even when you cannot be reached
- Peace of mind, because you know your home is protected at all times
The main functions of an alarm system with an alarm receiving centre
When choosing an alarm system with an alarm receiving centre, it is important to take the following factors into account:
1. The best protection against burglary and emergencies
A good alarm system protects against more than just burglary. The alarm receiving centre can process notifications from:
- Intrusion sensors such as magnetic contacts, motion detectors and glass break detection
- Fire protection through smoke detectors with optical and heat sensors
- Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors that give timely warning of dangerous gas concentrations
- Water leak detection via wireless sensors that help prevent flooding
2. How are notifications passed on?
When an alarm is triggered, notifications are sent directly to the alarm receiving centre. The alarm receiving centre assesses the situation and, where necessary, alerts the emergency services. This is based on:
- Burglar alarms: The alarm receiving centre checks and confirms a threat.
- Fire and smoke notifications: When smoke or a rapid rise in temperature is detected, action is taken immediately.
- CO notifications: Carbon monoxide detectors ensure you are warned quickly of dangerous gas concentrations.
- Water leaks: When water is detected you receive a notification and, for example, you can activate a water shut-off valve remotely.
3. Alarms and notifications
With an alarm system such as Ajax Systems, you receive notifications in several ways:
- Push notifications via the Ajax Security System app
- SMS notifications
- Telephone calls (optional)
In the case of a verifiable alarm, the alarm receiving centre can also contact keyholders or alert the emergency services directly.
