Obtaining Alarm History
If you ever need a record of signals received from your system and the actions taken, your dealer can request an Alarm History from Catawba Security.
You will need:
- Receiver number
- Account number
- Central station passcode
- Date the alarm was activated
A representative will then provide the full report of events received, times logged, and actions taken.
How Monitoring Works
- A detection device (door contact, motion detector, glass break, smoke, or heat sensor) activates an alarm.
- The signal is transmitted to Catawba Security’s monitoring center.
- Our system identifies the account and alerts a dispatcher with the customer’s profile and emergency instructions.
- The dispatcher contacts the designated number for verification.
- If assistance is confirmed or required, we immediately notify emergency responders.
- All alarm report activities are securely logged and stored for your records.
