MONITORED SYSTEMS

Panther are able to offer our commercial customers comprehensive monitored systems which provide affordable peace of mind and security. Whilst audible alarms may scare off criminals, they cannot ensure a response from the police.

Police, insurers and security specialists agree that the greatest improvement you can make to your commercial security is to link your security system to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) that can inform the local police if an intrusion takes place. The knowledge that the police can be on the scene within minutes is clearly reassuring. Fast response is crucial because:

	Intruders have less time to cause loss or damage
	Help can arrive quickly if a personal attack button is activated
	By nominating keyholders, we know who is available to make sure that your property is protected

Qualifying for police response

Following the latest guidelines issued by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), many police forces will not attend alarms from non-monitored systems unless there's also first-hand evidence of a crime, whether from the business owner, an employee or a member of the public phoning in.

The good news is that the police will attend an alarm signal routed via an Alarm Receiving Centre from a monitored alarm that qualifies for police response. (See the ACPO website for more details.)

More than just a burglar alarm

With a monitored alarm, you're connected 24 hours a day to a fully manned Alarm Receiving Centre via your phone line. What's more, you're not just protected from burglars. We can help you obtain emergency support from the police, fire brigade or your keyholders.

Personal security

You can also install a personal attack device (panic button) enabling you to summon help if you are attacked at work. In addition, if you were forced to disarm your system, you have a duress facility enabling you to secretly alert the Alarm Receiving Centre.
