What happens when an alarm is tripped?
What happens when an alarm is tripped depends on the setup/programming of the panel. Most people arrange to have their systems connected to a monitoring station at an alarm company; in this case, when the system is armed and an alarm goes off, the alarm panel, which is connected to your telephone line, will call the monitoring station that will then follow the procedure which you have arranged with them. If required, an alarm dispatch unit will attend the premises to ensure everything is as it should be, at that time, further action may be taken if an intrusion or break in has occurred.
