With the potential to reduce false alarms and increase arrests, alarm verification systems are winning the support of law enforcement and the insurance industry. Dealers stand to benefit.
At the Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) meeting in October, there was plenty of buzz about video alarm verification as participants engaged in healthy discussion and debate on the issue. While proponents of video verification are excited about the advancing technology and the possibilities verified alarm systems have to offer, advocates for more traditional systems are not so sure. However, forces outside the security industry may soon drive them to reconsider.
Forget the adversarial roles. Glen Mowrey and Dean Belisle are bridging the gap when it comes to cities, states, mayors, law enforcement and the security industry as they come together to tackle problems related to false alarms.
