Frequently Asked Questions
Alarm Monitoring
What's the typical response time when an alarm is triggered?
Response times vary depending on the nature of the alert and local emergency services, but professional monitoring ensures the process starts immediately — the moment your alarm triggers, our monitoring centre is already acting on it rather than waiting for someone to notice.
Will my alarm system still be monitored during a power outage?
Yes. Security systems include battery backup specifically to maintain protection during power outages. Monitoring continues uninterrupted as long as the backup holds, which is why keeping batteries current matters.
What's the difference between professional monitoring and self-monitoring?
With self-monitoring, alerts go directly to your phone, and you decide how to respond. Professional monitoring means a dedicated team is watching around the clock and takes action on your behalf — useful when you're unavailable, travelling, or simply want a reliable backup.
Can I keep my existing equipment if I switch to IRS for monitoring?
In many cases, yes. We can assess your current system and take over monitoring without requiring a full hardware replacement. Contact us to discuss your setup, and we'll let you know what's compatible.
