    Fire Alarm Monitoring FAQ's

    Fire alarm monitoring is the act of having your alarm system professionally monitored by a chosen third party to increase your safety. By nature, fire alarm monitoring systems give greater protection outside of work hours, and a quick response time if something should go wrong.

    A monitored fire alarm will be connected to a dedicated third party through cloud networking, 3G/4G control or a landline. Once an alarm triggers inside the monitored building, the third party will receive an alert, so they know to call or notify the emergency services.

    Legally, no: fire alarm installations do not need to be monitored by a third-party - but we highly recommend it. Over 60% of commercial fires happen when buildings are empty. With a monitoring package, an alarm won’t ever go unnoticed as the alarm will be connected 24/7 to a dedicated expert, who will respond with no hesitation.

    Alarm monitoring usually incurs an extra monthly cost on top of the upfront cost for the alarm system itself. This expense will change depending on the installers, the equipment and the monitoring package you have chosen.

    Benefits of Monitored Fire Alarm Systems

    Over 60% of commercial fires happen when a business is empty. It is very costly to repair a fire damaged property, with an eye-watering average cost per incident of £657,074. When you rely on a fire alarm monitoring service, you can rest assured that your site will be watched over at all times. This means faster emergency response to save lives, assets and buildings, to minimise the risk that fire poses.
