What is a monitored alarm
system?
A
monitored alarm system is connected by telephone wires, cellular
telephone or "long range radio" to a "central station". A central
monitoring station acts as the link between your home and the police,
fire department, and emergency response authorities. A
central station is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by highly
skilled operators trained to respond to emergencies. When
alarm signals are received by the central station, trained,
professional operators contact authorities and responsible
parties. Alarm signals are transmited in a format that
provides the central station with crucial information such as:
which window or door has been violated;
if the alarm sent was a silent panic or a medical panic;
Central Station technology enables the operator to instantly determine
if the alarm signal received was a fire signal or a carbon monoxide
(CO2) signal; |

Custom
Security,
LLC
can
include
sensors
on
an alarm system that
monitor for floods and low temperatures. This is especially
useful for seasonal residences that are unoccupied for several months
at a time. Our central station can alert you to a low temperature or
water condition before significant property damage occurs.
Digital
communications
over
standard telephone lines is the most common
method of
signaling an alarm. The system sends an encoded message
that must be acknowledged by a host receiver in order to confirm
communication. The place where those signals are processed and
responded to is called a central station.
Long
range radio and cellular systems provide a higher level of security.
These
devices address the weakest link in a system, the telephone lines; they
operate over air waves when the telephone line is compromised by the
weather or a sophisticated thief. Radio and cellular systems are
becoming more and more popular as burglars are cutting telephone
lines. Many consumers no longer have a "home phone" they use
cellular
phones or the internet to communicate. H.S. Custom Security, LLC
can
install equipment to monitor your alarm by cellular phone or internet.
At Home or Away, Awake or asleep, a custom alarm system, installed by
