The Cage ApproachTo give you peace of mind, our Monitoring Centre operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When an alarm system that has back to base monitoring is activated by tamper, intrusion or power failure, a signal is sent directly to the Cage Security Monitoring Centre. The signal is received as an urgent priority by our trained and licenced Monitoring Centre Operators and actioned immediately.
When you initially setup you alarm monitoring with Cage, you can speak to one of our experienced monitoring centre operators and plan the response you wish to be taken. Your plan can include: 1. Calling you or a designated member of your company directly2. Phoning your premises3. Sending the Police or Ambulance Service4. Sending a security guard response
The advantages of alarm monitoringWhether you have an existing alarm system or you are planning to install one, alarm monitoring can be set up to automatically alert our Monitoring Centre when access has been breached. The demand for alarms to be monitored is increasing as false or repeated alarm activations in office buildings has lead to alarms being ignored. Once a person from a neighbouring business has reacted to a distress signal and found that it was a false alarm, they are unlikely to react if the alarm goes off a second or third time.
Rather than chance an alarm activation going unnoticed, more businesses are now choosing to have their alarms monitored. It is also generally a requirement of your insurer that you have an operating monitored security alarm.
