What happens if my alarm system is tripped by mistake?

If your alarm system is tripped by mistake, the following should happen - unless the client informs the Central Monitoring Station in writing that other procedures are to be followed:

  • Call the Central Monitoring Station immediately.
  • Identify yourself by giving your name and customer identification or abort code.
  • This will halt any further action taken by the Central Monitoring Station.
  • Reset the alarm system.
  • Please do not leave the property without first speaking to the Central Monitoring Station.
  • If the Central Monitoring Station operator calls you first, please answer the phone immediately! The security dispatcher will identify him or herself and will ask you for your customer identification.
  • If the telephone is not answered promptly, or if the proper customer identification is not given, the authorities will be dispatched.
