Leverage Alarm Integrations To Improve Security
Graduate from stand-alone intrusion alarm deployment to make the most of Interface’s integrated managed alarm solutions.
- Combine alarm events with video from security cameras and access control systems to gain granular insights on security events.
- Minimize false alarm costs by deploying video verified alarms that are monitored by Interface’s Command and Control Centers.
- Use alarm events as triggers to activate facility lighting to deter potential intruders. Integrate alarm sensors to initiate local announcements or automated remote voicedowns during non-business hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, your system will continue to work on a battery backup. The length of backup time will vary by panel type.
No, there are wireless systems available that don’t require physical wiring installation.
Yes, business owners can view their cameras from anywhere on their smartphones.
Many alarm panels are built to be tamper-proof. Some security companies call this feature “Crash and Smash” protection. In the event that an intruder attempts to disable security by damaging the control panel, the control panel can be set to alert our monitoring center.
Avoiding false alarms is important because alarms are noisy and false alarms often lead to fines. Penalties for false alarms vary by locale. In some cities the police and other emergency personnel charge hefty fines whenever they’re dispatched for a false alarm.
A couple of measures help protect against unneeded emergency response:
1. By law, an alarm company needs to give you 30 seconds to disable the alarm. To bypass the 30-second rule, you can add a panic button.
2. If an alarm is triggered, you’ll have the opportunity to tell the monitoring company that no service is needed through a in-built voice communication system.
At Interface, we offer a comprehensive video verified alarm solution to proactively detect false alarms and save you the hassles of relying on your staff to disable alarms or paying hefty false alarm fines.
Interface goes through a structured security assessment to understand the types of intrusion alarm sensors needed for every customer engagement. The security assessment includes a site survey and thorough evaluation of the facility, risks to be addressed, a review of past security breaches or intrusions, regulatory requirements for different locations, and future plans for expansion. Based on the security assessment results, Interface’s security consultants will provide a recommended design on the ideal intrusion detection platform needed based on unique customer requirements.
Interface can design an intrusion alarm solution that takes into consideration existing connectivity challenges. We offer alarm solutions that rely on LTE connectivity either as a backup or as a primary connection to completely bypass bandwidth availability issues. Interface has partnerships with leading wireless carriers in North America and can include bandwidth provisioning as a bundled solution.
We design our intrusion alarm solutions with redundant communication paths that include wired connectivity and cellular backup, monitor the status of the alarm panel connection to our monitoring systems, with the capability to detect panel power outages. We work with our customers to develop robust processes to ensure that all alarm systems managed by our teams remain functional 24X7, 365 days a year.
We define standard operating procedures for all types of events- arming/disarming of alarms, actual alarm events, and responding to system health or outage notifications as part of our proactive support and maintenance programs.
