Security Systems Connected to an Alarm Receiving Center (ARC).
What is a CRA?
A CRA is a monitoring center that operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is equipped with advanced technology to receive and process alarm signals from various security devices installed in properties.
How do they work?
Installation: A series of devices such as motion detectors, door and window opening sensors, security cameras, etc. are installed on your property.
Connection: All these devices are connected to a central control panel, which in turn is connected to the CRA through a telephone line, GPRS or internet.
Activation: When you activate the alarm system, the sensors begin monitoring your property.
Intrusion detection: If an intrusion is detected, the sensors send an alarm signal to the ARC.
Immediate response: CRA personnel receive the alarm and, following established protocols, verify the situation.
Notification and response: If an emergency is confirmed, the CRA notifies the appropriate authorities (police, fire, etc.) and the emergency contacts you have designated.
Benefits of connecting your alarm system to a ARC:
Immediate response: In the event of an emergency, the CRA can alert authorities within minutes.
Human verification: CRA staff can verify whether the alarm is real or false, avoiding false alarms and reducing costs.
Continuous monitoring: Your property is protected 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Deterrence: The presence of an alarm system connected to a ARC deters intruders.
Additional Services: Many CRAs offer additional services such as video verification, remote monitoring, and assistance in case of a medical emergency.
Tyes ofTypes of signals that alarm systems can send: signals that alarm systems can send:
Intrusion signals: Activated by motion detectors, opening sensors, etc.
Medical emergency signals: Activated by panic buttons or fall detectors.
Fire signals: Activated by smoke or heat detectors.
Technical signs: Signs that indicate a malfunction of the system.
Important considerations:
Choosing the CRA: It is important to do your research and choose a CRA with a good reputation and experience in the sector.
Maintenance: The alarm system requires regular maintenance to ensure proper operation.
False arms: Although CRAs can verify alarms, it is important to minimize false alarms to avoid inconvenience to neighbors and auhoritie
In short, connecting your security system to a ARC is an investment in the protection of your home or business. Offers peace of mind and quick response in case of emergency.
