The office security system needs central monitoring because there may be nobody at night to respond to the alarm. Central monitoring makes it possible for the security office to call the office owner, and check. The security company can also call the security guard, if the office has one, to verify if the alarm is genuine or has been triggered by a pet or a malfunction.
One office alarm that is very important is the fire alarm. Offices are generally full of files and documents that can catch fire easily if there is a short circuit. This is where central monitoring can prove very useful. It can alert the fire department the moment the fire sensor detects smoke.
The homes too become safer if central monitoring is part of the home security package. The owner may or may not be present at home when the alarm goes off. There will always be somebody to attend to the alarm in the security company, and alert the police.
However, not every individual can afford central monitoring. Several would prefer a simple home security system for which they pay a one-time installation charge.
