  9. SIAC Action Items… • Ordinance w/Best Practices – Enforced! • ECV (Multiple Call Verification) • ANSI CP-01 Equipment Requirement • Work w/ Worst Abusers • Train and Retrain Customers • Service Promptly • Communication & Cooperation

  10. Historical Concerns… WHY Reduce Alarm Dispatches? • Officer Safety • Police Resource Usage • Fines • Real Threat of Non-Response • User Safety

  11. What about business? • Why reduce false dispatches? • Maintain Company Value • Company Reputation • Better Account Retention • Preserve Police Response • Service Revenue • Central Station Activity

  12. Establishing the value of your company. • Alarm companies are traditionally valued based on the recurring revenue generated by their customers. • Alarm company’s are bought and sold by a formula based on a multiple of the recurring revenue stream. • In rare cases additional value may be given to a company’s dominance in a market.

  13. What do false alarms have to do with evaluating my company’s value? • A high number of false alarms and a high number of false dispatches can be an indicator of service or installation issues. • Companies with a high number of false alarms typically have unhappy customers and unhappy customers don’t pay in a timely manner.

  14. Account Retention • Non-Response = 10% to 20% loss in monitoring revenue. • Combined with normal attrition a hold back could result in a 30 to 40% reduction in company value.

  15. Non Response = Lower Multiples • Companies that purchase accounts pay less for accounts in markets where there is a non response policy in place.

  16. How do I know if I have a problem? • Nationally the alarm industry has a combined factor of .90, or just under 1 dispatch per system per year. • What is your alarm factor? • Divide your annual dispatches by the number of monitored customers. • 500 customers and 500 dispatches= 1.0 • 500 customers and 250 dispatches = 0.5

  17. How do I address the problem?Start With 3 Step Approach COMBATING ALARM DISPATCHES

  18. The 3 Steps To Managing Alarms • Step One • Enhanced Call Verification • Step Two • Use CP-01 Listed Equipment • Step Three • Target Worst Abusers

  19. Step One ANSI/ CSAA Standard for Enhanced Call Verification or ECV

  20. Enhanced Call Verification • ECV delays dispatch less than 1 minute. • ECV reduces dispatches by up to 50%. • Fewer Dispatches = Faster Net Response • ECV reduces call loads at 9-1-1 and at the alarm monitoring company!

  21. Enhanced Call Verification • ECV is required in Virginia, Florida and Texas as well as some local jurisdictions. • ECV is endorsed by IACP, NSA and FARA • ECV is an ANSI Approved Standard • ANSI/ CSAA CS-V-01-2004.XX • ECV is a proven method to reduce dispatches

  22. Implementing ECV in Your Company • Notify your customers of the change. • Verification must be to two different numbers. • Ask your customers for Cellular numbers as the second contact number. • If using a 3rd party monitoring company, notify them of this new procedure..

  23. Step Two ANSI/ SIA CP-01 Control Panel Standard

  24. CP-01 Equipment • In an effort to deal long term with the cause of false dispatch requests the alarm industry developed a control panel standard to once and for all address the high incidence of customer error.

  25. ALL ASSOCIATIONSPARTICIPATED • AIREF Alarm Industry Research & Education Foundation • CSAA Central Station Alarm Association • NBFAANational Burglar & Fire Alarm Association • SIASecurity Industry Association • CANASACanadian Alarm Security Association

  26. UL COMPLIANT • UL 609 - Local Burglar Alarm • UL 611 & 1610- Central Station BA • UL 684 - Mercantile & Bank • UL 864 - Fire Protective Signals • UL 985 & 1023 - Household Fire, BA • UL 1635 - Digital BA Communicators • UL 1641 - Residential Systems

  27. WHY NEW STANDARDS? • Meeting of Industry Professionals... • Need for further reductions... • Need for standardization... • Based on known solutions... • Based on HIGH user error... MOST Panel Manufacturers Participated!

  28. False Dispatch Elimination • Most User Errors - During Entry/Exit: • User Arms - Exits - Re-enters… • User Arms - Fails to Exit in time… • User Arms - Building still Occupied… • User Arms - Exits Through Wrong Door… • User Arms - Fails to exit at all...

  29. False Dispatch Elimination • Most User Errors - During Entry/Exit: • User enters - forgets code… • User enters - fails to disarm within delay time… • User enters - unfamiliar with system... • User enters - through the wrong door… • non-delayed • no keypad - unable to hear prewarn

  30. New Control Panel Standards • Exit Delay: • Default - 60 seconds(Min 45 sec) • Progress Annunciation - different sound the last 10 seconds of delay • AUTOMATIC RESTART of exit delay,ONCE!(upon re-entry) • Recent Closing- signal sent if alarm within 2 minutes of Exit time expiration

  31. New Control Panel Standards • Exit Delay: • Fail to exit - arms all zones STAY MODE • Remote annunciation supported by panel • Exit Time DOUBLEDif user disables pre-warning. (dealer cannot disable globally) • Exit Error - Immediate local alarm...

  32. New Control Panel Standards • Entry Delay: • Default30 seconds(Minimum 30 sec) • Progress Annunciation - different sound last ten seconds of delay • Pre-Warning Silenced - after 1st digit code entry • Cancel Message window after abort window - 5 minutes

  33. ALL BURG ZONES… “ABORT WINDOW” • Burglary - default30 sec* (15-45 range) • Fire - defaultNo delay • Hold-up/Tamper - No delay *May disable by zone or zone type! LOCAL ALARM STILL SOUNDS - ONLY COMMUNICATION IS DELAYED

  34. New Control Panel Standards • Other New Features: • Upon Power Restoral 60 second settling out period.. NO ALARM SIGNALS TRANSMITTED! • Swinger shut-down - default - “1” (MAX-2) • Will reset after 48 hours - with no trips • NEW (OPTIONAL)- Swinger Trouble signal sent after 1st trip • Universal disarming sequence - code only

  35. New Control Panel Standards • Other New Features: • Cross Zoning features available • 1+ duress Eliminated! • *70 Call Waiting - 2nd Call Option… • Test in Progress Features • Preset Automatic Arming - Audible ! • New “Simple” Instruction Card!

  36. LISTED DESIGN EVALUATED BY UL IN ACCORDANCE WITH SIA CP-01 Control Panel Standard - Features for False Alarm Reduction New Standards & UL • UL - Testing to the new standards... • New UL sticker on panels...

  37. Implementing CP-01 • Educate your installation and service personnel how to program to the requirements of the standard. • Start with all new installations. • Use on all service replacements. • Target worst offenders.

  38. Step Three Working with Worst Offenders

  39. Working With Abusers • Identify those customers with the highest number of false dispatches. • Usually less than 10% of client base. • Schools • Municipal Buildings • Churches • Banks • Large Retailers • Other locations with multiple users

  40. Establish Your Base Line • Nationally • Residential alarm systems have a dispatch rate of .30. • Commercial alarm systems have a dispatch rate of 1.27.

  41. Identify The Problems • Most likely problem is user error. • Second most common problem, is misapplication of technology. • Third most common is power related.

  42. User Error • Over 75% of all dispatches are the result of user error with over half occurring during the entry/ exit periods. • Check delay periods, use CP-01 Defaults; • Minimum 60 seconds Exit and 30 seconds Entry • Eliminate all 1+ duress programming; • Program call waiting “*70” prefix; • Make certain customer knows the phone number and process to cancel a false alarm.

  43. Misapplication of Equipment • Most common is inadequate technology to match environment for motion detectors. • Use only motion detectors that meet ANSI/ SIA PR-01 Standard. • Harsh Environments • Pets • Use only contacts that meet the ANSI SIA Contact Standard.

  44. Weather Related Alarms • Most bad weather alarms are result of weak or outdated batteries. • Follow battery manufacturer’s recommendations for battery replacement. • Doors and windows that are warped or misaligned need wide gap magnets.

  45. False Panic or Hold Up Alarms • Use only dual action or recessed buttons. • Reprogram all 1+ duress alarms. • Wire two bill traps in parallel.

  46. What else you can do... • In House Employee Training • Pro-Active Approach (Set-up Team) • Use new standards on existing panels • Call customers within 24 hours of event • Service promptly! • Target 10 Worst Offenders Monthly • Use Central Station Software to Track! • Be an ACTIVE Member of the Local, State and National Associations
