Alarm Monitoring Options
For All types of Alarm Systems
Alarm Monitoring Options
Banham provides 24 hour monitoring for all types of alarm systems through our own in-house Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). We monitor systems including Intruder, Fire, CCTV, Panic, Freezer, Medical, Power Failure, Vaults, Opening and Closing Management, Flood Warning, Access Control, Ambient Temperature, Humidity Level, Machinery monitoring, Controlled Environment Monitoring. You can choose your own level of response:
1) Fully Monitored System with keyholder and 24 hour Police response:
If your alarm system is activated and a confirmed signal is received by our ARC (subject to the system response level), the Police will be automatically notified and will respond. A confirmed signal means that the system must generate two independent alarm activations before the call can be passed on for a Police Response. Our ARC controllers will contact the premises to verify the activation. If the private passcode for the premises cannot be confirmed within a set time, the Police response will be confirmed to continue. The ARC will also contact keyholders nominated by the client to advise of an alarm activation of any kind.
2) Keyholder Response Only:
Clients who do not require Police response but would like the added security of either themselves or their nominated keyholders being contacted following an alarm activation, can have the system more-or-less designed to meet their own requirements, subject to insurer’s approval if necessary. Temporary monitoring is also an option - this option is only available through a digital communicator connection. If you are unable to provide private keyholders, Banham can undertake this service with their own in-house, professional keyholding company CMS Keyholding.
Our team of keyholders on motorbikes are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and are ready to respond to any emergency situation.
3) Keyholder Response with PAB to Police:
Clients who do not want their system fully connected to the Police but who want the extra peace of mind of being able to reach the Police in an absolute emergency can opt to have just their Panic Button connected for a Police response - this option is only available through a digital communicator connection. (Note: Banham can also provide ‘bells only systems’ with PAB only to the Police, subject to a telephone line being connected).
