Hyperactivity Report

It is important to know if a panel is calling too much to avoid unnecessary costs to our clients and to detect panel problems that can affect the performance of the Alarm Center


Utility

It is sometimes difficult to detect when a customer is sending a lot of signals and making a lot of phone calls.

If this occurs, the customer may incur communication costs or fill the Monitoring Software database. Alarms with useless information.

CloudSurgard performs a scan of all calls from the previous 24 hours and sends a message with the panels of alarm that in the judgment of the system have had hyperactivity, this message contains a signal report that helps to determine which areas or which parts of the customer’s equipment may be affected.
