mESH Radio Monitoring
When your alarm system is activated, it alerts our monitoring center over standard telephone lines. Unfortunately, those telephone lines are the most vulnerable element of your system. That's why Commercial Fire & Security offers a wireless backup solution called AlarmNet, from Honeywell the world’s leading manufacturer in electronic security.
This is a state-of-the-art radio network that provides instant communication between our monitoring center and your home or business over the AT&T or Verizon cell networks. So even if phone lines have been knocked out by storms … or cut by intruders … your alarm system stays connected, 24 hours a day.
Without it, signals for burglary, fire and other emergencies might never get through. AlarmNet from Commercial Fire & Security makes it virtually impossible for those signals not to reach us when it counts the most.
IP ALARM Monitoring
Internet alarm monitoring, also referred to as IP alarm monitoring, allows your alarm system to send signals to a central station via the Internet, eliminating the need for a telephone landline.
Most of us consider having data service in our businesses and homes to be very important. On the other hand, fewer and fewer of us really need landline-based telephone service. The problem is most burglar alarm monitoring service requires a landline phone connection.
That situation is changing quickly. By switching to Internet alarm monitoring, we can keep our security system sending signals as it should, ditch the monthly phone bill, and save some money. Connecting your security system to the Internet can also let you take advantage of the many new smart remote technologies, depending on the system you choose.
HOW DOES INTERNET ALARM MONITORING WORK?
With traditional landline dial-up reporting, an alarm system makes a phone call to a special receiver at the Central Station. This requires that the alarm panel dial a number, wait for an answer, send and receive acknowledgement tones and alarm report codes, then finally get a “kiss-off” tone to confirm receipt of the data and end the call. This process can take around 15 seconds if all goes well, or quite a bit longer if the panel gets a busy signal, or if some data isn’t received the first time around due to poor phone line quality or a bad connection.
Internet alarm monitoring bypasses the slow landline path, and instead connects the alarm panel to your high-speed data connection. This allows the panel to do all of the above communication steps in just a few seconds.
