ECV stands for Enhanced Call Verification. It is a protocol which requires two numbers to be called in the event of an alarm being sounded. The primary call is made to the location where the alarm was tripped. The secondary call goes to a number of an authorized person, often a cell phone which allows after-business hour calls. This has been shown to significantly reduce instances of false alarms.
