Our monitored security systems provide a response to all alarm situations. Whether it’s a movement sensor, smoke alarm, medical alert or panic button, our team will make sure you and your home are safe.
Australian Security Company will always consider what our clients want and tailor a solution accordingly. Understanding what an Alarm Poll rate is and the subsequent effect on your security is essential in determining what level of security your premises requires as well as matching the level of security to your budget.
Like any electronic device your alarm system is prone to malfunctioning, ‘giving-up’ or just not operating as it should. As a precaution it is always suggested that your alarm system is serviced at least once a year however to ensure that your alarm system is functioning throughout the year, there is a function programmed into the alarm panel which sends a ‘test’ signal (poll) to our alarm monitoring centre. This ensures that the alarm panel is working & communicating. Should Australian Security Company not receive this ‘test’ signal, our trained control centre operators will follow our standard operating procedures and make contact with you to inform that the alarm system is not communicating.
The level of security your site requires determines the frequency of the poll rate, Australian Security Company offers:
Telephone monitoring – 24 hour poll rate

For years we’ve seen security cameras in shopping centres and airports, but nowadays business owners and homeowners are investing in security cameras too. Is this just a fad or are security cameras here to stay?
As security specialists, we can say without a doubt CCTV systems and security cameras are here to stay. Don’t believe us? Here are 3 reasons why security cameras aren’t just a fad:
Reason 1: A Deterrent
Not only are these camera systems important security tools, they are also a fantastic way to deter any unwanted attention.
In fact, many accept CCTV systems to be one of the most effective crime prevention tools. The very presence of a security camera can help dissuade criminal activity, including theft, assault and even robbery.
Reason 2: A Watchful Eye
Simply put, CCTV cameras watch your property when you aren’t there. For both homes and businesses, alarm systems are an excellent way to protect your premise and your people. But, security cameras can provide a whole new level of security and protection.
After all, they can tirelessly keep watch over your entire property as well as record and document any goings-on, including suspicious activity near your property or vandalism to your property.
Reason 3: Evidence
Unfortunately, not all security camera footage receives video verification. However, that doesn’t mean your security cameras won’t pick up important things.
For example, if for some reason a robbery occurs or someone vandalises your property, your CCTV cameras can record and collect evidence of the crime.
It is important to note that there are strict policies in place to ensure no doctored or edited video enters evidence. That’s why your CCTV footage may not make it to the courtroom.
You can, however, use your CCTV camera footage to assist your local authorities. You can also submit your security camera footage as proof to your insurance company when you put a claim in.
Are you interested in upgrading your security system? We, the Australian Security Company, have high definition digital video and IP surveillance systems available to suit any budget. We also offer a wide range of cameras that vary in quality and functionality.
