In today's world of business security notification the most important issues are the speed at which notification occurs, the information contained in the communication package and the delivery method. Quicker more efficient methods can limit damages or even save a life.
Over 90% of all offices have your typical security system that uses a modem, communicates very slow, attaches to an analog line which was outdated about 5 years ago. Business owners or managers are often not aware of the changes made in security communication methods or that there are economical, more efficient security notification platforms.
Many business owners change dial tone carriers every 3 years to improve the financial bottom line. The routers that provide combined service of Internet and dial tone restrict the channel that the security system uses to a 56k or slower modem communication link which has to be on a specific channel and often never tested. Rottweiler Security solves both issues economically with our cellular monitoring which uses cellular burst to communicate.
This communicator is extremely effective, lightning fast and uses a cellular burst with e-mail notification. Inside the e-mail is the information of the zone triggered and the time of the event. This allows you to make the necessary decisions with the information provided as the phone call comes in from monitoring. This informative package of information I fell in love with the first time that the unit e-mailed me of an event which forwarded to my blackberry.
Nobody likes to get the 2:00 am call that the office front door has triggered an alarm. The question is, are they still in the office or did they leave? As each zone is tripped, another email is sent notifying you of the event. If someone is walking through your office, is opening the drug cabinet or entered the patient records room, wouldn't you like to know that they entered that area? Or worse yet, are still there?
Any improvement in the quality of life and less stress is a plus when you are the owner of a business. Using the same cellular link, you can actually view a CCTV camera from your PDA telephone device! If you are at your child's baseball game, you have the tools to make the decision without leaving the stand. You can also activate and deactivate the unit using your cell phone.
In my opinion after years of installing camera systems, the CCTV camera system is a necessary appliance in the office. Match the event time of the security system to the Internet accessible DVR, ability to view it from your PDA telephone device and you have a quick and simple entire record of what happened in your office. This allows you to quickly make the decision you need to and either go back to bed or go to the office.
Having the right tools just makes life a little easier.
