The security industry has undergone substantial change in recent years, but one thing remains the same: security system owners demand a swift, accurate, and effective response to alerts and issues. The value of security solutions is undermined when systems detect and alert users to issues that are not actual security events or emergencies. Plus, response to false alarms diverts responders’ time and attention away from valid security events at a time when law enforcement is facing severe staffing constraints. It also conditions first responders to assume that system-triggered security events are false.
These issues are critically important to the security industry. Players across the residential security ecosystem have worked to improve technologies and processes to decrease the occurrence of false alarms. The Monitoring Association developed an alarm validation scoring standard, TMA-AVS-01, to help emergency operators and responders to prioritize and respond to alarms more effectively, reducing the number of nuisance alarms and improving overall system performance.
In this virtual session, industry leaders from across the residential security ecosystem talk about next steps with AVS-01, with a focus on getting to scale with urgency. Leaders will address how their organizations are offering technologies, new processes, partnerships, and marketing resources to put AVS-01 into action and educate law enforcement partners on the standard. The webinar will also include Parks Associates research from interviews with law enforcement agencies and dispatchers about responding to security alarms and technologies and processes that can help.
