A conventional fire alarm panel is basically divided in several zones which are monitored by the panel. When a sensor detects a fire, the panel indicates which zone or portion of the building is alarmed so that the resources can be utilized effectively. The conventional system is effective for small building and properties which have limited zones or areas.

Alarm Monitoring System

A non-monitored alarm system would just activate the siren when an intrusion is detected, whereas, triggering the alarm is just one part of a monitored alarm system. It’s most important role starts post the alarm is triggered when it is sends the signal to the monitoring station and it can take appropriate action against it. The system can also contact the police or your emergency contacts with the press of a button.
The greatest disadvantage with non-monitored systems is that there is no record after the alarm is triggered. The intruder might just do his work and then vanish but a monitored system would record everything for you which can help you to get your stolen goods back and even send the intruder behind the bars. Moreover, in today’s world even is an alarm sounds, no one might take the responsibility to take an appropriate action and call the police, so it’s always better to keep all the control in your hands and save your property and belongings from such incidents.
