ECHO-connected Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) receive a digital alarm signal transmission direct from your premises in the event of an activation. The signal is verified and transmitted directly to Police Force Despatchers via the ECHO platform. Police estimates indicate a saving of up to four minutes in response time, which could prove critical in an emergency situation.
