Remote Monitoring

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.
