The Verified Response Platform is is suited to today's high-tech world driven by the Internet and mobile devices. It is an ideal solution where a fast police response is not possible, or where you simply prefer to have neighbours, family or friends respond to alarm events. It can function as a stand-alone fully automated platform for self monitoring, or as an add-on to professional operator based monitoring as a valuable tool for obtaining a verified police response. Our Monitoring Center Partners receive alarm signals at their facility and forward duplicates on to our managed servers where they are analyzed independently. This allows you to have full control over which of your contacts receive an SMS text or email alert. If you prefer the professional operator add-on, you have the added comfort of knowing that a trained operator will follow the event through to a safe conclusion.

The design of our Monitoring Server is generic and flexible to make it compatible with as many makes and models of alarm panel and IP Cameras as possible. We do not tie you to any particular brand. IP Camera recording is achieved via the use of snapshot commands, which are supported by all good quality IP Cameras. With certain brands of IP Camera like Axis, Panasonic and Linksys, the platform has additional features and with all cameras you can log into your account and view live images at any time. When an event occurs, snapshots are taken from the cameras and images are stored safely on our server. Images can be emailed out to your contacts and with your permission, can be made available to a Monitoring Center operator for a programmable amount of time following an event. All alarm signals are logged into the online database which is available 24/7/365 for historical and reporting purposes. The web interface allows you to add, edit and delete contacts, zones, users and other monitoring preferences at any time.

Never before has cost been the number one concern for US & Canadian residential Alarm Service Subscribers. Alarm Monitoring and Telco services are just two of the many expenses under scrutiny from Consumers and many are changing to VoIP to make savings. Many alarm panels fail to work over VoIP and we have the most cost effective VoIP compatible residential Alarm Monitoring solution in North America to get you back online as quickly as possible.

Well known security industry manufacturers might seem large enough to provide cost effective alarm monitoring hardware, however, they pale in comparison to companies like Cisco who are able to produce millions of devices each year. This huge volume allows Linksys, who are part of Cisco, to bring the highest quality products to market at the lowest possible cost.

One such product is a Voice over IP adapter that is normally used for Internet phone service. IP Alarms have adapted this product for use within the Alarm Monitoring industry and Subscribers are able to take advantage of superior quality hardware at a fraction of the cost of conventional security industry hardware in order to communicate with the Virtual Monitoring Platform. The Linksys PAP2T is available at most consumer electronic retailers for under US$50 and the SPA3102 only costs around US$20 more and allows you to plug in and use your existing cellular backup equipment in the bargain.
