AVS-01 is a new ANSI standard being developed by The Monitoring Association (TMA) and is currently in a preliminary industry comment period. Once completed it will move to public comment as required by the ANSI process.
Alarm Validation Scoring (AVS) is an intrusion alarm classification standard. The standard defines intrusion alarms based on various threat levels and the process to determine a corresponding alarm level. This process can be done manually by a central station operator or can be adapted by automation providers or other parties for automated processing.
