Commercial alarm systems commonly include alarm verification technology that greatly reduces the chance of false alarms. Before authorities are dispatched, operators use audio verification to be in voice contact at the alarm location. If the alarm is accidental, the user can cancel the alarm by providing an authorized user code.
Security systems reduce crime in business and commercial settings. Businesses without alarm systems are more likely to be burglarized than those that have an alarm system. Many uncompleted burglaries can be credited to an audible alarm.
A burglary or fire does not go unnoticed when the business is unoccupied. A monitored system provides automatic notification of authorities in the event of intrusion or fire whether the premises are occupied or not.
