Agreed in advance, in writing
Your response plan
So nobody is guessing at three in the morning. Every monitored system has a written response plan, agreed with you at handover and kept up to date.
Escalation order
Who is called, in what order, and when the police are called straight away.
Site instructions
Gate codes, dogs, safe rooms, contractors and anything else an operator needs to know.
Contact details
Kept current, with a way for you to change them quickly.
Keyholding and response
Where the site needs someone to attend, keyholding and mobile response can be arranged.
What monitoring does, and does not, promise
Monitoring checks every alert, challenges intruders and escalates in the order you agreed. It does not guarantee that the police will attend, because that is decided by the force. A verified alert, clear footage and a written plan give them the best reason to.
