Insurance requirements for business alarm systems
In many cases, insurance companies mandate their commercial customers to have alarm systems. Common requirements include:
Monitored / police-response
Many insurers mandate a monitored alarm system, and for high-security situations require a system with police response.
Grade 2 or Grade 3 equipment
High-security commercial alarms often require Grade 3 equipment including anti-masking technology.
Dual path monitoring (GSM back-up)
For high-risk or vulnerable sites - if the main line is cut, the GSM path continues signalling to the monitoring station.
