Abstract

The paper describes the current situation for the use of telecommunications in one Security Services Company in Europe, current evolutionary trends and a vision of the immediate future. The descriptions include telecommunications necessities between: (1) sensors and peripheral devices and central panels in security system installations; (2) security systems panels and alarm monitor stations; (3) guards and their surveillance monitor stations; (4) guards and the security systems attended by them; and (5) guards to guards. The paper tries to support a general view of the need for Security Companies to invest in telecommunications in order to improve the performance of services.
