The last decade saw a number of security companies expanding their client base for alarm system. However, with up to 95% false alarms, this proved disastrous for police and fire departments that have to respond to these alarms. New measures were introduced to curtail and penalize the perpetrators of false alarms, however, enforcing these measures brought on new costs and required additional resource allocation. The FAMS system was incorporated in several cities to address these problems and ensure a reduction in the false alarm rates. The FAMS system efficiently manages these false alarms and collects alarm license fees and penalties charged to violators of the alarm ordinance. It also educates citizens and organizations on the proper use of their alarm systems.
Alarm owners can also pay their renewal fees as well as penalties online. Regulating the use of alarm systems ensures timely responses and reduced costs. FAMS gives alarm owners online access to all their alarm-related information and new owners can get educated on the proper use of alarm systems, register their alarms and pay for their alarm license online.
