What is it?

Video Verification is the technology that sets PM Alarms, LLC apart from other alarm companies and systems. It is a way of checking the validity of an alarm by using video cameras. With PM Alarms' local monitoring, this is accomplished via video cameras which transmit videos via DSL or high speed cable internet service any time that there is an alarm event (ie. motion, hold-up, glass breaking, door opening, etc.. while the system is armed). PM Alarms' local monitoring center is notified in a priority order and is able to view the triggered alarm video from your premise.

On May 15, 2007, Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen signed a new law (TN code annotated, section 62-32-303) requiring alarm monitoring centers to implement Enhanced Call Verification (ECV). The new law mandates alarm monitoring companies to call TWO different phone numbers prior to dispatching the police on all burglary alarms. This new law is designed to verify alarm and reduce police agencies response to false alarms.

Video Verification of an alarm condition is an excellent way to determine the cause of the alarm and truly get a quick response to a real emergency. Up until recently, verification was only possible by physical attendance either by the owner or a private guard response service. The single biggest issue with this is the time delay. If it takes 1/2 hour to verify, the probability of stopping a break-in is virtually nil. Video Verified Response supersedes ECV, because PM Alarms receives video verification when the alarm system is triggered.

So why do I need it?

One of the biggest problems with the average alarm system is the abundance of false alarm calls (as many as 98% false alarm calls). Most alarm companies promote very questionable strategies for 'false alarm reduction' as their key selling point, as they are not able to provide verification. With video verification, PM Alarms' local monitoring center can visually check for themselves that the alarm is or is not a real emergency and then be better informed to take appropriate action.

Because most break-ins occur while the owner is away, it is often impossible to verify an emergency in time to intervene. With PM Alarms' video verification, it is now possible to follow all of the emergency procedures quickly. This is opposed to the old method where the owner (or a guard service) would need to physically go to the property and visually check for a break-in. This process is generally inconvenient, time-consuming, and potentially dangerous! PM Alarms' video verification is the only way to go.

The main benefit is that with visual confirmation of a break-in or other emergency, police WILL respond and they will do so quickly. In a word... "Action!"

THE SOLUTION - VIDEO VERIFICATION

If there were a method to verify the validity of each and every alarm, then guard services and police would be better informed and suited to respond to break-ins. Only video verification gives us this ability.

"No more false alarms = FAST ACTION"

If police receive a call of a CONFIRMED and witnessed break-in,
a) Police will respond and do so with high priority.
b) Quick response will increase the probability of capturing the perpetrators.
c) Quick response will increase the probability of retaining property.

A typical break-in occurs while the owner is away from the home or business. For police to respond with any sort of haste, a verification of a real emergency is crucial. Up until recently, verification was only possible by physical attendance. If you are away, there is only one real way to verify an emergency. PM Alarms' video verification provides that every time with on-site video!

With the advent of common-place high-speed internet and new technologies in digital video cameras, we are now able to use new innovations to re-structure the design and options for security. No more driving to the home or business at inconvenient times only to find that there is only a false alarm, or that the burglars have already had time to leave the scene. No more putting yourself in danger to save your property. No more expensive bills to guard services to check each false. PM Alarms' local monitoring center can easily use video verification to check in on each alarm.

ADDED BENEFITS OF VIDEO VERIFICATION

Not only does PM Alarms' video verification give you a solution to false alarms, they also provide a series of value-added benefits to further enhance security and convenience.

Insurance Claims

If during a break-in, property is lost or broken, the PM Alarms local monitoring center can provide video evidence record of the event to expedite the insurance claims process.

Insurance Rates

It is standard practice for insurance agents to provide significant discounts for properties equipped with security alarm systems.

Privacy

The PM Alarms' video verification system is active full-time but the video information is fully protected by an automated system. This means we will only have access to the video when an alarm is triggered. You get the best of both worlds - privacy and security.
