Jones and Bartlett Firefighter II Practice Test

Proprietary supervising alarm systems are defined by having the monitoring site owned and operated by the building’s owner. Signals from the alarm are sent to an on-site or owner-controlled monitoring facility, giving the owner direct control over monitoring and response. This arrangement contrasts with off-site, third-party monitoring options, where the central station that watches the system is not owned by the building owner, and with local alarms that don’t connect to any external monitoring at all. The owner-operated monitoring capability can streamline verification and coordination of responses, which is why this option best fits the description.
