Alarm confirmation technology

Alarm confirmation technology is required in order to initiate police response on all new systems in England, Wales & Northern Ireland and in Scotland following loss of police response.

SYSTEM WITHOUT CONFIRMED ALARM TECHNOLOGY
For systems in Scotland that have not lost police response or that have been installed prior to October 2001 in England, Wales or Northern Ireland a single alarm signal is required to initiate police response.

SEQUENTIAL CONFIRMATION
An activation from two or more independent sensors or detectors that determine there is a high probability that a genuine or attempted intrusion has occurred.

AUDIO CONFIRMATION
An activation confirmed by the Monitoring Centre operator who, after having listened into the premises, has made a decision that there is a high probability that a genuine or attempted intrusion has occurred.

VISUAL CONFIRMATION
An activation confirmed by the Monitoring Centre operator who, having interpreted a visual image transmitted form the protected premises, has made a decision that there is a high probability that a genuine or attempted intrusion has occurred.
