Monitoring Systems That Will Keep You Safe 24/7
Rosse Systems can provide 24-hour monitoring for Fire Alarm Systems, Intruder Alarm Systems, CCTV and Industrial Plants.
CCTV Monitoring
The central station receives CCTV footage from your premises and responds to CCTV system activations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition to monitoring the images, the central station can also broadcast a message to the perpetrators.
How 24-Hour Monitoring Works
The chosen communications network is monitored. If a telephone line monitoring system is chosen, equipment in the exchange detects any signal loss. If communication is over another medium like private mobile networks, it works in a similar way.
In the event of a genuine alarm signal, the system identifies which alarm signal is affected (Intruder, Fire, Plant etc). The alarm signals are then transmitted to the monitoring centre where trained operators follow agreed action plans by contacting the relevant emergency services and the specified key holders, we can update and amend these as required on your behalf.
This is fully endorsed by leading UK insurers.
DualCOM GPRS
DualCom GPRS is an advanced communication device for secure alarm reporting, compliant with Grades 2, 3 and 4 of the EN standards. It transmits alarm signals to the alarm receiving centre via the GPRS, GSM networks and PSTN with the optional LAN card, via the internet.
When DualCom GPRS is triggered it initiates calls to the alarm receiving centre over a communication path. Once it receives an acknowledgement from one path it clears the other paths so that the monitoring centre only receives a notification. The speed of transmission surpasses the older GSM technology, hence its suitability for sending alarm signals. Rather than having to ‘dial up’ for a connection, GPRS systems are permanently switched on and transmit instantaneously.
As with all radio transmission systems, a site survey should always be carried out to ensure adequate GPRS signal strength is available at the site.
Fire Alarm Monitoring
Enhancing your fire alarm system to include monitoring can reduce the risk of losing your business to fire. We can tailor this to your requirements even linking your system so that the site is called first to prevent unnecessary fire brigade call-outs during the day, but then out of hours the key holder and emergency services can be despatched without delay minimising potential damage & loss.
Intruder Alarm Monitoring
Whether it is a simple key holder alarm or a fully-fledged Police calling system with a URN (Unique Reference Number) we can provide cost-effective monitoring and the response you require.
Plant Monitoring
Plant monitoring provides protection on anything requiring a response when there is nobody available to monitor an event, typical examples of these are;
- Freezer over temperature
- Boiler Failure
- Food Alert
- Lift Failure
- Water detection
Signalling Types
Intruder alarm, fire alarm and plant monitoring can be provided using various types of signalling – we have listed a couple below, but others are available and our surveyor would quote on the most suitable for your property. If you require any advice on installing a security system or 24 monitoring please contact us on 01274 595015.
BT Redcare TM GSM
Redcare with GSM is a Redcare connection with a GSM radio backup path enabling your alarm system to be monitored by radio as well as via an existing BT line. By adding a recommended GSM network your premises are monitored through two completely separate paths. If one path fails or is interrupted, then the other informs the alarm monitoring centre immediately and continues to monitor any subsequent alarms.
If the GSM Interface Device loses contact with the GSM network, an alarm is transmitted to the monitoring centre using the BT line, this means that with Redcare GSM, alarms can be signalled via both the BT line and radio paths.
The benefits are as standard Redcare plus:
- Dual path – Radio back-up.
- Continuous monitoring via radio and BT line.
- Line failure reported within seconds.
- 2nd path provides monitoring until the faulty path re-instated.
- If both paths are attacked Redcare GSM will send confirmation to the monitoring centre.

What our clients say:
Rosse Systems provided a successful tender for the installation of a wireless fire alarm system at Harewood House. Considerate pre-work planning considered the building being built in 1771, with its contents proving vital in delivering a bespoke designed and installed fire alarm system. All aspects of the installation were carried out competently and in a truly professional manner. Harewood House, Leeds
Rosse Systems were invited to tender for the installation and commissioning of a new Intruder Alarm System (IAS) Grade 3 and additional IP Closed Circuit Television System (CCTV) to upgrade an exhibition gallery to meet Government Indemnity Scheme (GIS) standards. Following a successful bid for the tender Rosse's senior planner meet with Thackray staff and the project manager to walk through the specification and to agree on exact requirements and positioning of sensors, power supplies, IP sockets and new CCTV locations both inside and outside the exhibition gallery. An agreed timetable for the work was implemented and Rosse Systems were punctual, efficient, knowledgeable, and time economical in progressing the work to completion within the agreed time frame. Nothing was too much trouble and liaison with the senior planner ensured that work was completed successfully and to budget; it was a pleasure to work with Rosse Systems staff, and their work was neat and precise.Michael Stanley
Rosse Systems tendered electronic security works at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery back in 2017-18. Rosse coordinated well with the on-site team and was flexible in terms of working in a public building, which was partly open to the public and staff whilst work continued. They were aware of health, safety, and security issues on our site, and with guidance and discussion, they appreciated the needs of a Listed Building and the need to have sensitive interventions within the project delivery. The lead contractor for this project was always available for meetings at short notice and was ready to problem-solve when required. They provided extra staffing to meet our deadlines and an understanding of our requirements was achieved through basic staff training. The project was delivered within acceptable timescales and all additional cost items were agreed upon. Helen Thornton MA, AMA - Cartwright Hall Art Gallery Manager
Wharfebank Industrial Estate was a challenging site due to the limited timescales to deliver a hybrid system. FHP ESS explored the marketplace and found Rosse to be a renown and experienced supplier of networked radio fire systems. Rosse assisted throughout and were able to deliver and meet our client’s expectations from concept to completion. The installation caused minimal disruption whilst maintaining the integrity of fire safety throughout the program. Engineers assigned to the property were complete professionals and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dave Thewlis and his team for future fire related schemes.Wharfebank Industrial Estate
