ALARM SYSTEM INFORMATION
Choose either silent or audible
Police are called to your home or business by a “central station” alarm service that monitors your alarm by
telephone. No bell or siren sounds at the alarm site.
AUDIBLE ALARM A bell or siren sounds when the alarm is activated. The system may or may not automatically notify a
“central station” monitory service by phone.
Residential alarms can only ring for an actual or attempted break-in or take-over (ambush). You cannot
install a robbery alarm unless you have a business license for your residence. You must dial 9-1-1 to summon the police in all
other cases – Use of “Panic” or “Distress” alarms is discouraged.
