Just because you have an alarm system installed, it doesn’t
mean you’re fully protected. Bells may be ignored and wires
damaged or cut.
BT Redcare Agile doubly protects because it uses two signalling
paths. If either is tampered with by an intruder, or develops a
fault, the alarm receiving centre will be alerted and the relevant
emergency services or your authorised keyholder, can be called
without delay.
Different types of alarm systems offer different levels
of protection:
- ‘Bells only’ – as the name suggests, this is an alarm bell which
will ring for up to 20 minutes and which may be ignored.
- Digital communicator – is where your alarm system is
connected to an alarm receiving centre via a dedicated phone
line. When an alarm is triggered, the alarm receiving centre
receives notification and calls the relevant emergency service.
A dedicated phone line is usually needed, meaning additional
annual rental costs. Should this line be cut or get damaged it
may not be immediately detected.
- Dual-signalling paths – uses intelligent technology to actively
check that your phone line is working and to detect any
problems. It has the back-up of two paths and is capable
of sending a ‘confirmed activation’ to ensure response
from the emergency services, even if the telephone line is
cut or damaged.
