The Corps invests in Merlin solution for monitoring centre
London (UK) for immediate release.
Remember when guarding meant a man with a flat cap and a dog? Well those days are rapidly disappearing. Leading guarding companies are beginning to realise that manned guarding can be complimented by properly installed intelligent remote electronic security.
One of the main requirements for a professional monitoring service is the ability for the remote control room to be able to understand what is happening on site and for the operators to be presented with all the key information in an easy to use way. They should not be expected to guess what's happening. Information has to be given that enables the correct decision each and every time.
Initsys's Merlin control room software allows alarms and CCTV to be presented to the control room operator's terminal, fully integrated. This ensures that the operator is attentive to what is happening on site without the necessity to guess which camera is the best one to view or where the alarm has activated. Integration with leading alarm panels and CCTV systems makes the Initsys system unique in alarm management.
The Corps, a leading supplier of security and business support solutions has selected Merlin for its control room. The Corps Monitoring Centre is considered the premier facility of its kind in the UK and the team has chosen Initsys as its primary supplier of alarm signalling and CCTV verification services to expand the extensive portfolio of digital monitoring services offered at the remote monitoring. By using the Verified Alarms network (www.verifiedalarms.com) The Corps is able to bring the latest technology to its partner installation companies and client base.
Richard Moule, CEO of The Corps comments: “We have made considerable investment in The Corps Monitoring Centre (CMC) and are keen that we offer a complete suite of technology solutions to our customers. The recent addition of the Initsys solutions to the range of services on offer will provide the Corps with more competitive advantage when securing new business and ensure we are offering our customers the best solutions on the market".
Christopher Berry Managing Director of Initsys Ltd says “This appointment is a great honour for Initsys and is vindication of what we have been trying to say for some time. Quality companies see the importance of what our development team have produced and those companies that take the time to understand what true integration can achieve will reap the benefits. End users will begin to see that false alarms do nothing for our industry and its reputation - this is not all about lowest cost, it’s about effective service”.
