Our Sequence

How We Respond

Our response sequence is refined for speed. From the moment your alarm triggers to the moment our officer arrives, every step is automated and tracked.

01
Alarm Triggered

Your alarm system sends an immediate signal to our 24/7 control room via dual-path monitoring (Radio/GSM).

02
Signal Verified

Operators verify the signal. If you have CCTV, we pull up live feeds to assess the threat level immediately.

03
Vehicle Dispatched

The nearest GPS-tracked armed response vehicle is dispatched. Officer briefed on the situation while en route. SAPS alerted if required.

04
On-Scene Response

Armed officer arrives, secures the property, conducts a full sweep and establishes a safe perimeter. You are contacted directly.

05
Incident Report

Full written incident report sent to you within 24 hours. Audio/video evidence saved for insurance and legal use.

What's Included

Every Armed Response
Contract Includes This

Sub-7 Minute Response Commitment

Our sector-based vehicle positioning means you're never more than minutes from an armed response officer. Consistently under 7 minutes in high-density coverage zones.

PSIRA-Certified Armed Officers

Every responding officer holds a valid PSIRA certificate and is authorised to carry and use a firearm. No unarmed or uncertified personnel ever dispatched.

Body Camera on Every Call

All armed response officers wear body cameras that begin recording on dispatch. Footage is retained for 30 days for insurance and legal purposes.

Real-Time GPS Vehicle Tracking

Every response vehicle is GPS-tracked in real time. Our control room sees every vehicle's location at all times and dispatches the absolute nearest unit to you.

SAPS Liaison & Co-ordination

When a major incident is confirmed, our control room contacts SAPS immediately and co-ordinates the police response alongside our armed officers on scene.

Full Incident Reports & Evidence

Every response generates a written incident report delivered within 24 hours. Body cam footage, control room audio and CCTV captures are preserved for your records.

Our Technology

The Tech Behind
Our Speed

GPS
Real-Time GPS Dispatch

Every vehicle tracked live. Control room sees all vehicles on a live map and dispatches the closest armed officer to your property in real time — no delays, no guessing.

CCTV
Live CCTV Verification

Before any vehicle is dispatched, our operators pull up your live CCTV feed to verify the alarm and assess the threat. Officers arrive prepared — not guessing.

CAM
Body-Worn Camera Systems

All officers wear body cameras that activate on dispatch. Live footage is monitored from our control room and recordings are stored for 30 days for evidence and accountability.

4G
4G/LTE Communication

All vehicles operate on dedicated 4G/LTE communication channels — independent of standard cellular networks. Crystal-clear control room contact even during network congestion.

AI
AI-Assisted Alarm Monitoring

Our control room uses AI-assisted monitoring to flag high-priority alarms, detect anomalies in sensor patterns and prioritise dispatch — cutting response time and reducing false alarm triage.

LOG
Digital Incident Logging

Every response is digitally logged with timestamps, GPS coordinates, officer ID, and audio recordings. Full audit trail available to clients for insurance claims and legal proceedings.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients
Experience

"The PT Alarms armed response team arrived within 5 minutes of our alarm triggering. Two armed officers, professional, calm, and did a thorough sweep of the property. Absolute confidence restored. I won't use anyone else."

DT
Durban South ToyotaAutomotive Dealership · Isipingo, KZN

"We had a break-in attempt at 2am. PT Alarms was on my property before I had even finished calling them back. Their armed officers caught the intruder and SAPS was already on the way. Incredible service at 2 in the morning."

FA
Fatima AdamsRestaurant Owner · Cape Town, Western Cape

"The body camera footage PT Alarms provided was crucial for our insurance claim after the burglary. Everything was documented, timestamped and professionally handled. Their armed response was faster than SAPS."
