Establish a dependable response for every alarm activation
Alarm monitoring helps ensure that an activation does not result in an unattended phone notification. A signal may be received correctly, but the response can still break down if no one knows whom to contact, what action is authorised or how the event should be escalated. Outdated contact details can create the same issue.
Australian Security Company provides managed alarm monitoring 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Operators follow documented instructions for each site rather than making assumptions during an incident.

Australian Security Company provides security alarm monitoring across Brisbane, linking alarm signals to 24/7 operators and documented response plans.
- Compatible CCTV enables visual verification before authorised escalation
- Patrol attendance is dispatched only with advance authorisation
- IP, 4G and multipath options support signal transmission
- Existing alarm panels are assessed before replacement is considered
- Commissioning checks sensors, communication paths and monitoring-centre records
- Six-month servicing may apply under relevant Australian Standards
Security alarm monitoring with 24/7 oversight and site-specific response plans
- Documented action plans define contacts, authority and escalation
- Operators assess incoming signals 24 hours a day
- Event records show contact attempts, actions and outcomes
Alarm monitoring for residential, commercial, industrial and government properties in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and across Australia
A documented action plan determines what happens next
Before monitoring, a site action plan specifies nominated contacts, call order, phone or text notifications, verification steps and authorised escalation procedures. Operators follow agreed instructions rather than improvise during an incident.
If no one responds, a patrol can attend only if pre-authorised. Any additional attendance fee can be agreed in the plan, reducing uncertainty following a call-out. Contact details, operating hours, access and response instructions should be updated whenever responsibilities or site conditions change.
Where an on-site check is planned, mobile security patrols can be dispatched. Attendance times vary with location, traffic and other incidents.

24/7 operators put the agreed response plan into action
App-only alerts require you to be awake, available, within mobile coverage and able to respond safely. Australian Security Company operators monitor incoming signals 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, follow site instructions and record how each event is handled.
Records may include activation times, contact attempts, operator actions, patrol attendance and outcomes. This helps establish what occurred and whether documented response procedures were followed.
Continuity procedures maintain monitoring during disruptions and normal operations. When the building underwent its first evacuation in 40 years, monitoring continued while operations relocated. The same continuous oversight can also support compatible mobile duress devices through lone worker monitoring.

Video verification provides context before escalation
An alarm may indicate an intruder, but cleaners, authorised employees and staff working late can trigger similar activations. Where compatible CCTV is connected, operators can review relevant camera footage before proceeding to the next step in the site's action plan.
Clearly non-threatening activity can prevent an unnecessary call-out. A confirmed threat can support the dispatch of an authorised patrol or contact with the police. Connected systems may also report when a supported camera goes offline, allowing the fault to be identified before the footage is required.
Alarm video verification uses available visual evidence rather than treating every activation as proof of an intrusion.

Reliable monitoring depends on the complete signal chain
A functioning alarm panel does not guarantee its signal reaches the monitoring centre if communications fail. IP, 4G and multipath options suit different sites, equipment and resilience needs, avoiding sole reliance on the NBN or one connection.
Most existing alarm panels can be assessed for connection without replacing suitable equipment. Commissioning may check sensors, transmission, communication paths and monitoring centre records. Periodic test signals can confirm the connection remains operational.
System-dependent six-monthly servicing may be required under Australian Standards. Checks may include sensors, batteries, connections and signal transmission. Australian Security Company can assess existing alarm systems, identifying incompatible, obsolete or unreliable components before connection.

Often, yes. Existing alarm systems can be assessed to determine whether they are compatible with professional monitoring and what communications equipment may be required. This can allow monitoring to be added without automatically replacing an otherwise suitable alarm system.
The next step depends on your documented action plan. You can nominate who should be contacted, the order of contact and what escalation is authorised if nobody responds. Where agreed beforehand, this may include dispatching a security patrol to inspect the property.
Yes. Personal app access and professional monitoring can work together. You can continue receiving notifications and using supported alarm functions from your phone, while the monitoring centre provides continuous oversight when you are asleep, unavailable, outside coverage or otherwise unable to respond.
Your nominated contacts and response instructions can be updated when responsibilities, operating hours or site circumstances change. Keeping these details current is important because operators follow the documented action plan rather than deciding during an incident who should be contacted or what response is authorised.
Alarm events are recorded so there is a traceable account of how an activation was handled. Records may include activation times, contact attempts, operator actions, patrol attendance and outcomes, helping you establish what happened and whether the agreed response procedure was followed.
