Our Monitoring Centre located at Kingsgrove NSW was officially certified a Grade A1 Monitoring Centre by ASIAL on 15th February 2008. Construction of our new monitoring centre was completed in September 2007 and monitoring of Alarms & CCTV commenced in October 2007.

ASIAL has for some years operated a grading scheme for alarm monitoring centres. This is a well-respected system of independent inspections that check compliance with Australian Standard 2201.2:2004 (Intruder Alarm Systems - Monitoring Centres). When the owner has his/her alarm system sealed, he/she has the right to expect the monitoring centre to maintain certain operating abilities. Typically the sort of items that are covered in the standard are:
- the construction of the centre, together with its physical and fire protection,
- access into the centre and its 'modus operandi',
- ventilation systems and emergency breathing equipment,
- power supply arrangements,
- Communications (telephones, duress and radio),
- redundancy in the monitoring equipment,
- and its record-keeping
The ASIAL scheme seeks to provide customers with the reassurance that the standards applied at a monitoring centre are independently audited on a regular basis. It is an unfortunate fact that some monitoring companies are claiming to be graded when in fact this is not correct - we advise customers or consultants to check any such claims. This can be done by either asking the company to produce its certificate (dated certificates are issued, normally with a validity of two years) or by viewing the ASIAL list of the graded centres.
