When you are building a security system in Toronto, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. While many out-of-the-box security cameras come with standard features, you can tailor your security design to meet the unique requirements of your property when you work with a reputable service provider like Engineered Alarm Solutions Inc. Moreover, out-of-the-box security cameras can easily be hacked to trigger false notifications compromising security. With professionally installed cameras, technicians can program and calibrate them to minimize false alarms. A microphone and loudspeaker (2-way audio) are a popular but often overlooked feature of residential and commercial security cameras in Toronto. For more info about why you should consider microphone and loudspeaker technology, talk to our friendly and knowledgeable team of security specialists at Engineered Alarm Solutions Inc.
Read on to learn more about why choosing a security system in Toronto with microphone technology is a great choice for property owners.
While residential and commercial security cameras cannot detect activity solely on audio cues alone, they significantly enhance your ability to assess and monitor a situation unfolding on your property in real time allowing you to take appropriate action. With real-time notifications and alerts to your smart device and to your 24-hour monitoring station, two-way audio allows you to hear what is happening on the premises so you can contextualize the situation. If there is simply someone on-site checking your water meter or leaving a delivery, you will better be able to gauge the situation by hearing what they are up to before local authorities are dispatched. This audio insight can help prevent false alarms and costly security guard dispatch. If you are concerned about suspicious activity around your property, microphones and loudspeakers allow you to communicate freely.
When a suspicious activity is detected by your alarm or camera systems, or you notice something suspicious - like someone trying to enter your property, steal a vehicle, or snatch something valuable from your building, loudspeakers allow you or your monitoring station to speak to the person in question in real-time, letting them know that authorities have been notified and you can see them. To ensure that a criminal on your property is aware that this is actually a live feed, you or your monitoring station can call out what they’re doing and even the clothes they’re wearing. For added attention, you can also consider a strobe light. In this case, loudspeakers can help deter imminent theft or intrusion when paired with reliable commercial security cameras in Toronto.
