How does ADVCOMM receive alarms from my alarm system?
Alarms are sent over phone lines and cellular communicators (if equipped).Many times between the customers alarm systems, the phone providers (which can be many during 1 alarm activation), and the technology we use in todays environment leaves alarm systems and reporting vulnerable.
Advanced Communications uses a telephone provider exclusively for the security industry, with complete redundancy leaving a 99.9% vulnerable-free signal delivery and acceptance into our central monitoring station.Not only does testing your alarm system ensure quality and assurance, it is required by law.There are mandatory testing and inspections that are required that differ from state to state, county by county and city by city (or jurisdiction).It is important to know your your local fire marshal or building code inspector, what testing and the frequency thereof is required (or contact your system/inspection vendor)
As the monitoring company, it is our utmost importance that your alarm system is communicating with our central station, and communicating properly.
