False alarms

The Sectrol Security Geelong (formerly Geelong Monitoring Services) System is recognised by the police as having the lowest false alarm rate in the state. This is due to a number of reasons, including:

• the amount of information received by the control room when an alarm is activated
• the way in which the detectors are installed.  Detectors are set up on a multiple zone basis – i.e. unauthorised access would trigger two alarms, not just one
• the number of detectors.

Reduced false alarm rates reduces the number of attendances required for the system thereby reducing client overheads.
