Electronic security and fire alarm systems have become standard in today’s home and work environments. Fire and security systems incorporate what is known as central station monitoring. When a security panel installed in a home or business encounters some sort of alarm activity, the panel sends a message to the central station via phone lines. Dispatchers at the central station respond by notifying the appropriate authorities. This system has proven reliable time and again.
However, no matter how quickly the alarm is processed in the central station, common electrical malfunctions and system faults are often treated in the same manner as a real alarm. These faults could be as minor as loss of AC power, low battery warnings, a device requiring service, or a blown fuse. Friends, neighbors, or employees may be inconvenienced when notified of this "trouble" simply because they are on an "Emergency Call List." Emergency personnel may also be dispatched and you could be charged for false alarms caused by common trouble signals that are easily misinterpreted by people on your emergency list.
WEBAlert™ can prevent some of these inconveniences and costs. WEBAlert™ is a software application, accessed via the Internet, that allows you to monitor your security system via e-mail notification. WEBAlert™ communicates to your email anytime pertinent information is available. WEBAlert™ will send an email to you or the person responsible for your security system, notifying them daily of all alarm activity. WEBAlert allows you to respond to non-critical alarm activity at your own convenience.
WEBAlert™ can also be customized with options such as routine system tests, when a system is checked for integrity, including connections between the central station and your home or office.
WEBAlert™ provides information on who is accessing the security system and when — a service that is ideal for customers with multiple offices or homes. WEBAlert™ generates a log of the times the system was disarmed and armed. With WEBAlert™, you can work with trained technicians to address system problems, order system manuals, and schedule routine maintenance as easily as you surf the Internet.
WEBAlert™ also offers valuable features to customers with mandatory code-required fire and security systems, insuring that your service is always running optimally, with regularly scheduled system checks.
WEBAlert™ offers you convenience and piece of mind by providing timely and relevant information.
WEBAlert™ is revolutionizing the way you interface with your fire and security systems, maximizing the benefits that a security system provides.
WEBAlert™ is also designed to be a Predictive Security tool. Research shows that losses sustained to "inside jobs" are most often given "dry runs" several times prior to the actual theft to see who is around at certain times and what security measures are in place. WEBAlert™ gives you the information you need to see the resulting patterns and take action before any theft occurs.
WEBAlert™ offers several powerful options that you may purchase and use to monitor special activities. You can have your alarm automatically test the integrity of the system and phone connection on a periodic basis. WEBAlert™ will notify you when automatic testing takes place, or when scheduled automatic testing does not occur.
You may choose to have WEBAlert™ send you information on who activated your system. and when it was disarmed or armed. This information is available by date and time. This service is especially attractive for:
