REDUCE FALSE ALARMS AND UNNECESSARY DISRUPTION

Intruder Verification

Reduce false alarms and unnecessary disruption 

 

Not every alarm activation means a real break-in. In many cases, false alarms are caused by bad weather, equipment faults, or user error. Yet without confirmation, emergency services and keyholders are often dispatched unnecessarily—wasting time, causing disruption, and potentially damaging the credibility of the security system. 

SMC’s Intruder Verification service helps businesses respond more intelligently. By reviewing live CCTV footage at the point of activation, our monitoring agents can assess the situation and confirm whether there is a genuine threat before any further action is taken.

How Intruder Verification works 

 

This service adds a critical layer of visual verification to intruder alarms. To enable it, the site must have: 

  • A broadband connection with a static IP address 
  • An Immix-compatible DVR or NVR connected to SMC’s Alarm Receiving Centre 

Here is what happens when the alarm is activated: 

  • The keyholder is notified as usual 
  • At the same time, SMC agents access the site’s CCTV feed to investigate the cause 
  • If no suspicious activity or individuals are observed, the keyholder and emergency services can be advised to stand down 
  • If anything appears unusual, escalation continues in line with the agreed plan 

This fast and professional verification process ensures that only genuine threats are treated as emergencies—saving time, protecting resources, and avoiding unnecessary panic. 

Peace of mind through accurate insight 

 

Intruder Verification is a smart upgrade for any business using monitored intruder alarms and CCTV. It helps: 

  • Reduce false alarms and avoid unnecessary callouts 
  • Prevent unnecessary disruption for staff and keyholders 
  • Maintain trust in the alarm system’s reliability 
  • Reassure customers that alerts will be handled responsibly 

It is a practical way to protect your customer’s time as well as their property.
