Supervising stations receive alarm, supervisory, and trouble signals and initiate response. Common types include: central station (third-party monitoring with listed facilities), remote supervising station (signals to a remote location such as fire department), proprietary supervising station (monitoring owned/operated by a property owner for their facilities), and auxiliary systems. The type affects performance requirements, staffing, redundancy, and listed service obligations.
Worked example(s) Example: A hospital campus may use a proprietary supervising station in its security operations center to monitor multiple buildings, dispatch internal responders, and coordinate with public fire services.
