Back-to-Base Monitoring — Melbourne, VIC — Standby Security Services

Back-to-Base Monitoring 


Back-to-Base monitoring is a service that can be added to your new or existing security system that takes the onus away from your neighbours to notify authorities when your alarm sirens activate.


As soon as any untoward activity is detected by your system, i.e. power fail, intrusion, tamper switch etc. Your security system will automatically send a signal down your telephone line to our 24-hour monitoring centre.

It is then only a matter of seconds before one of our highly trained operators assesses this information and, depending on what signals are received, can:

  • Call the premise to confirm the exact nature of the emergency
  • Call you or others on your emergency contact list to notify you of the situation
  • Send out a patrol guard to investigate, or if required
  • Send the Police, Fire Brigade or Ambulance
