Instant Alarm Alerts to prevent unnecessary evacuations
AlarmCall™ Paging System is the cost-effective monitoring system that that provides a real alternative to haemorrhaging money through reacting to false alarms.
Based on a sophisticated paging system, AlarmCall Paging System immediately notifies the designated fire marshals exactly where the fire alarm has been activated. They then have a short time (agreed with the local Fire Service) in which to establish the validity of the alarm, prior to it reaching the “Call Out “ status.
Working as a team, one marshall will go to the source of the alarm whilst the other goes on standby next to the central alarm panel. If, as in the case of 90% of fire alarms, the call is false, the marshals can communicate via phone or two way radio and the “Call-out” can be aborted.
What applications does AlarmCall have?
Apart from schools, AlarmCall can form an important part of retail communication solutions, as well as being of use to those working in the hospitality industry.
False alarms can be disastrous if they happen at the busiest shopping time or over a lunch break, driving customers away and resulting in a loss of revenue.
By using AlarmCall to deal with any potential false alarms in a timely and efficient manner, you can prevent the alarm from going off and keep your customers happy.
AlarmCall can also be used in industrial premises where a false alarm would have a serious impact on productivity and output.
Because the AlarmCall system pinpoints the location of the alert, it can be especially useful in large buildings and can help managers coordinate any evacuation safely should the alarm prove to be genuine.
AlarmCall can be of great benefit to businesses and schools alike by saving time, improving safety and preventing lost revenue due to false alarms.

AlarmCall Helps Cut Down False Alarms
Tailored alarm systems for use in, for example, education environments.
Anyone working in an education environment will be well aware of the potential difficulties in dealing with a serious incident in a school.
With hundreds of students spread out over a large area, or across a number of buildings, a small problem can quickly escalate and turn into a serious situation.
Difficulties can then be compounded if teachers and supervisory staff do not have the correct information available to them.
Teachers need to ensure the safety of hundreds of pupils in their care each day - and systems such as AlarmCall can help.
By providing staff with accurate and up-to-date information, AlarmCall ensures that incidents can be dealt with safely and appropriately.
AlarmCall will also help reduce the number of false fire alarms in schools and many other establishments, saving time and preventing unnecessary fire brigade call-outs.
How can AlarmCall help?
AlarmCall is just one of the many education communication solutions available from CST for schools in the UK.
AlarmCall is an alarm monitoring system that can be applied across a range of industries, including retail and hospitality, to provide immediate and accurate information regarding activated alarms.
Designated fire marshals will receive a message from AlarmCall via a pager, which directs them to the location of the alarm. They will then have three minutes to check the validity of the alarm before the AlarmCall system sends a call out to the relevant authorities.
While one fire marshal checks the site of the alarm, the other can wait by the central alarm panel and abort the call out should the alarm prove to be false.
AlarmCall quickly notifies teachers of false alarms, causing minimum disruption to lessons.
And because AlarmCall swiftly confirms the validity of an alarm, teachers can ensure the quick and safe evacuation of students from the building.
AlarmCall is also hugely beneficial to the emergency services, as it prevents them from wasting valuable time on unnecessary call-outs.
You can also choose to install one or more scrolling display pagers around your premises as part of the AlarmCall system to help spread the message of an alarm visually.
