In January 2023, the professional monitoring industry saw a major advancement with the finalization of TMA/ANSI AVS-01, the Alarm Validation Scoring standard. Developed by The Monitoring Association (TMA), this standard ushers in a new era of alarm response and communication protocols, with significant implications for monitoring centers, public safety, and the communities they serve.
In a time where safety and security are paramount concerns, the professional monitoring industry continues to stand at the forefront of safeguarding lives and property. The industry has long grappled with the challenge of improving how alarm notifications and other pertinent information are exchanged with 911 centers.
