Alarm Monitoring

Bring intrusion, panic, environmental and operational alarms into a consistent 24/7 response process.

Every alarm needs a clear owner and next action.

An alarm is valuable only when the response is fast, clear and appropriate. Ravtar coordinates alarm verification, keyholder contact and escalation across commercial sites, helping teams avoid ad-hoc decisions during time-sensitive events.

  • Missed activations outside staffed hours
  • Out-of-date contact lists and unclear fallback routes
  • Repeated false alarms without root-cause review

Give every priority alarm a clear owner, contact path and documented outcome.

Ravtar can monitor agreed security, panic and operational alarms, assess the available context and follow customer-approved keyholder and escalation procedures.

Questions decision-makers ask.

Can different sites have different procedures?

Yes. Escalation can reflect each site's hours, risk profile, contacts and local operating arrangements.

Can alarms be verified with CCTV?

Where systems and coverage allow, video context can strengthen verification and reduce uncertainty.

How often are contact lists reviewed?

Review frequency is agreed during service design, with a clear process for authorised changes.
