For decades, traditional security systems relied on a reactive model: an alarm sounded locally, or a CCTV camera passively recorded footage to be reviewed the next day. Today, enterprise-grade protection requires an active defense strategy. At the heart of this shift is the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
What is an ARC?
An Alarm Receiving Centre is a highly secure, technologically advanced hub manned by trained security professionals around the clock. Instead of just recording a break-in, an ARC actively intercepts alerts in real-time.
Intercepting Threats in Critical Seconds
When an intrusion, fire, or system fault triggers an alarm at your premises, the signal is instantaneously routed to the ARC. Within seconds, an operator assesses the situation through integrated CCTV and telemetry data. This human verification process is crucial—it drastically reduces false alarms and ensures that when a genuine threat is detected, the response is immediate and precise.
The NSI Gold Standard
Not all monitoring centres are created equal. Squire Group operates a state-of-the-art, in-house ARC that holds the prestigious NSI Gold accreditation. By maintaining total ownership of our technology stack and workforce, we guarantee absolute accountability.
Whether it involves deploying our own rapid-response keyholding officers or liaising directly with local emergency services, 24/7 monitoring ensures your assets are never left unprotected.
