What is zone
reporting?
Almost without exception,
current day alarm systems are capable of providing, not only
emergency signal identification, but also the individual zone
or sensor which has been affected. The benefits of zone
identification are enormous and particularly so with larger
sites such as schools and large commercial buildings. To know
exactly the zone or detectors which have been breached means
that a response can be achieved with minimal delay, limiting
damage and the extent of any unlawful entry.

Q. What is user
identification?
Most modern alarm
systems will not only report each time an alarm system is
opened or closed but will also identify the person arming or
disarming the system. The benefits of user
identification are particularly important to larger
organisations and customers wishing to maintain strict
security measures to ensure risk is kept to a minimum. To know
who has armed or disarmed the alarm system can provide a
valuable log of information should, at any time, a difficulty
arise.
Is it essential to engage a guard
response company?
Due to limited
manpower resources and the increased levels of violent crime,
the Police can no longer guarantee a response to reported
alarm activations where possible breaches of security may have
occurred. It is therefore almost essential to have a
specialist guard response company to provide effective,
well-timed responses to emergency signalling. CODE 9 can
recommend suitable guard companies in your area, remembering
we only recommend companies who provide professional levels of
service.
