The False Alarm DilemmaIn March of 2007, the US Department of Justice indicated, "The vast majority of alarm calls – between 94 and 98 percent are false." There is a "false alarm dilemma" because alarm customers expect a response from police when an alarm is triggered. Yet in most cases a burglary is not occurring. What Happens?Limited police resources are wasted and dispatches to legitimate calls are hampered. Law enforcement response is low priority or non existent. Criminals know this too and take advantage of today’s ineffective alarm technology. The SolutionTo reduce false alarms, the legitimacy of alarms should be verified. The monitoring center receives a real time video clip of the alarm event, assesses the event and initiates a high priority, "burglary in progress" police response if necessary. Video verification provides over 90% accuracy and helps solve the false alarm dilemma. The Answer - Wireless Video Alarms
