How it Works
When applied on its own or as part of an integrated security solution, an intrusion monitoring system is used to detect the presence of intruders and send alerts in the event of a security incident.
Access Control
Together, access control and security alarms allow for the arming and disarming of your entire security system or specific areas within the system with the use of valid credentials.
Security Camera Systems
Through the seamless integration between your security system and a CCTV camera system, you can capture critical visual reference that enables you to make decisions for immediate response.
Fire Alarm Monitoring
Using the existing monitoring panel, FMC can provide ULC-certified alarm monitoring for fire alarm and sprinkler systems, which is compliant with ULC-S561.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does my commercial security alarm system communicate with FMC?
Depending on the technology available in your building, our commercial intrusion alarm monitoring systems can be monitored over a phone line, cellular connection internet or DVACS (for legacy systems). For higher levels of commercial intrusion alarm monitoring, FMC can combine these methods of communication to ensure signal receipt in the event of an alarm.
Will you dispatch the police?
FMC will work with you to develop a response protocol for your commercial security alarm system that limits false dispatches of police and works within the guidelines of the Alarm Response Policy of the region that your commercial property is located in. Different Police Departments have different requirements for response (check with your local department for more information) and FMC will work with you to ensure that your commercial security alarm system meets every requirement for the best possible response. FMC typically recommends Enhanced Call Verification for our alarm systems to minimize false dispatches.
Can you perform video verification of my commercial security alarm system?
Yes! FMC can provide video verification of any alarms received from the commercial intrusion alarm monitoring system on your premise. This involves detailed mapping of any CCTV cameras on your premise with your commercial intrusion alarm system so that in the event of an alarm, our monitoring station dispatchers can view those cameras and see if there is a valid alarm or activity at your site. Some commercial intrusion alarm systems can even stream your video directly into our automation software. Video verification of commercial intrusion alarms has been shown to increase the apprehension of criminals, as verified alarms are usually prioritized by police departments for faster response.
Can I get updates from my commercial alarm system on my phone?
Yes! FMC partners with Alarm.com which provide Interactive Alarm Monitoring services, including home automation, remote arming and disarming, thermostat control, video surveillance and much more. This can all be managed centrally for one location or multiple locations through an app for your iPhone, iPad or Android-powered device. This is not only highly usable for the home user, but has significant business implications as well that can save you time and money.
