ANSI has validated the TMA-AVS-01 Alarm Validation Standards. The Standards establish a method for calculating an alarm score that results in a repeatable metric that estimates the validity or potential threat of an intrusion alarm activation.
The Standards identify the following alarm levels:
Alarm Level 0 No Call for Service
Alarm Level 1 Call for Service with limited to no additional information
Alarm Level 2 Call for Service with confirmed or 'highly probably' human presence with unknown intent
Alarm Level 3 Call for Service with confirmed threat to property
Alarm Level 4 Call for Service with confirmed threat to life
The Standards allow a unified method for monitoring stations to report calls and information. The Monitoring Association (TMA) is in the process of developing online training for monitoring center personnel, law enforcement and Public Safety staff.
