Comprehensive Central Station Alarm Monitoring Features
1. 24/7 Intrusion Alarm Monitoring
AST’s central station operators receive and assess intrusion alarms instantly, including:
- Door contact and window sensor activations
- Glass-break and shock sensors
- Interior motion detectors
- Perimeter zone breaches
- Forced-entry or tamper events
Real-time monitoring improves response accuracy and reduces the risk of undetected intrusions.
2. Panic & Duress Alarm Response
Panic and duress systems protect staff, students, healthcare workers, and customers during emergencies. When a panic device is activated, monitoring personnel:
- Verify the alarm

Panic alarm monitoring is critical for Connecticut schools, financial institutions, medical facilities, retail stores, and government sites.
3. Environmental & Equipment Monitoring
Environmental events can cause severe damage or operational disruption. AST monitors alarms for:
- Water leaks and flooding
- Temperature abnormalities
- Humidity interference in server or IT rooms
- Power failures
- Refrigeration or lab equipment malfunctions
Early detection helps prevent costly downtime and asset loss.
