What is verified security? What makes a security system verified? Why do I need a verified security system?
The number one reason to have a verified security system is POLICE RESPONSE TIME. Every single day, more police departments are only responding to verified alarms because of the rising number of false alarms.
So, what is a verified alarm? A verified alarm is one that is being heard or viewed from a security alarm monitoring station. There are two kinds of devices that can do this, a surveillance video camera and/or an audio sensor. What these devices do is give the monitoring station the ability to see and/or hear a burglary happening in real time, making it verified.
When a verified alarm is directed to the police, the monitoring station professional can not only tell the police the location of the alarm, but they can also give the responding police officers on-site real time information to assist in keeping the police officers safe.
On top of all of the other benefits discussed above, verified alarms get, on average, a 37 minute quicker response time over non-verified alarms. This not only increases the chances of recovering your property, it also increases the arrest rate. 45 minutes is a long time to let someone rummage through your office, warehouse, manufacturing plant, school, or restaurant.
