The owner or those interested in the property are responsible for turning the alarm system ON (arming) and OFF (disarming). Trained operators and alarm investigators are on duty at the central station to supervise, record, and respond to the signal. The central station is a physically secure, fire-resistant facility that houses the alarms receiving equipment, annunciators, recording equipment, and related test and power facilities. What Is Central Station AlarmĪ central station alarm occurs when protection devices and circuits automatically notify a commercial agency known as a central station, whose main aim is to supply customers with protective services. A centralized alarm station that provides 24-hour security adds to the peace of mind. Proper home security systems do more than sound an alarm and notify the user and local authorities. The main component is the system’s capacity to inform police or firefighters instantly in the case of an emergency.

If you are concerned with a higher level of security, as many of our customers are, United Alarm has a proprietary long-range radio telephone backup network that can send signals to the Central Station in the event of an alarm, regardless of the phone line.

A typical alarm system transmits its signal to the central station over the phone line. The weak point to anyone’s security is the phone line. Our central station responds to many different signals that require dispatch of fire or police authorities as well as notification to our customers and their primary key holders.
