How AMCO’s specialist LiveTalk monitored alarms work
AMCO listens via microphone
Intruder breaks in and activates AMCO LiveTalk monitoring allowing AMCO to listen into property immediately.
20 seconds after alarm activation.
AMCO challenges via speaker
Intruder is startled by AMCO staff verbally challenging via a speaker in the property.
AMCO’s LiveTalk Lone worker system is a low-cost high-security panic attack button system designed for use in shops, restaurants and bars. Our Lone Worker system connects a panic attack button to our unique LiveTalk speaker microphone unit meaning that we can listen, talk and react in seconds in an emergency scenario.

Office alarm systems
AMCO installs an increasing number of office security systems, largely due to the large of amount of expensive computer equipment like laptops that can be easily stolen.
AMCO tends to install a mix of CCTV systems, Access Control as well as monitored office alarm systems. Watch the following video of a demonstration of a monitored office alarm system from one of our customers’ offices in Soho, Central London.
Over the years AMCO have developed up an expertise in providing security systems for large commercial sites like warehouses, commercial yards or large outdoor spaces like solar farms.
We can design bespoke security systems for your specific needs; generally we combine both monitored intruder detection systems with CCTV.

Specialist AI CCTV for business sites
When it comes to CCTV, AMCO have experience implementing commercial systems for anything from corner shops to large warehouses and giant solar farm complexes. We specialise in artificial intelligence (AI) CCTV, as AI provides the best security possible - providing you with a truly 'smart' security solution.
The cost of commercial security systems depend on four main factors: 1) What you’re trying to securee.g. are you securing inside a property or outside (e.g. equipment or vehicles in a yard) 2)Equipment types & functionalitye.g. do you need an alarm, CCTV or access control - or all three 3)Security levelse.g. high security for high-risk sites like jewellers or betting shops 4)Monitoring & maintenance services e.g. do you require alarm &CCTV monitoring services, and do you require an annual maintenance contract.
Typically costs for commercial alarm systems are split into two: install costs and monitoring / maintenance costs.

In many cases, insurance companies mandate their commercial customers to have alarm systems to protect their businesses. Insurance requirements of alarm systems vary, but common requirements include:
> Monitored / police-response: depending on the type of business you run, many insurance companies mandate a monitored alarm system and in the case of high-security situations require you to have an alarm system with ‘police response’.
> Grade 2 or Grade 3 alarm equipment: high-security commercial alarms often require the installation of Grade 3 alarm equipment. Grade 3 alarm equipment includes things like ‘anti-masking’ technology.
> Dual path monitoring (GSM back-up): in situations where your business has a vulnerable telephone line, or is regarded as a high-risk target, Dual path alarm monitoring will be required, with a GSM back-up - meaning that if the main telephone line is cut, there is an alternative signalling path using the mobile phone network. Common Dual path technologies include LiveTalk and DualCom.
