Teracom Solutions  recommends 24/7 back-to-base monitoring for all security alarm systems. In the event of an alarm being activated, a signal will be sent to the monitoring center where staff will action it in accordance with your predetermined response plan. Without monitoring you are relying on a passerby or neighbor to notify the appropriate authorities when they hear your audible siren or see visible signs of an emergency. All to often they are ignored.

Imagine you've paid good money to have your CCTV cameras installed and have opted to have your security system monitored. You think your home or business is safe. But then the day comes when something happens. Maybe it's an intruder on your property. Perhaps it's a break-in at your store. All you know is that you trusted your CCTV security systems would be your first line of defence. Now, imagine discovering your security monitoring firm simply weren't providing you with the service you expected. Calls to emergency services were made too late. The CCTV footage is grainy and unuseful. And you're left with property damage, stolen goods and little evidence to get your perpetrator.

Virtual guards, also called remote guards, monitor your security system and watch your surveillance cameras from a central guard station off-site location. The trained professionals used to monitor your security systems won't be on your site but instead monitor remotely, at considerable savings costs to you. Get the benefits of years of security experience at a quarter of the cost of employing traditional guards.
