Burglary alarms and other monitoring systems used to be the purview of businesses, but today you can find them in most modern homes as well. All those additional systems on the network, means there's more false alarms as well. It's starting to cause an issue for emergency services in some cities, as they struggle to meet the increased demand.
It's lead some cities, such as the City of Upper Arlington, to require owners to obtain permits for their alarm systems. The city takes it one step further by also requiring them to register for their False Alarm Management System Portal, which will allow the city to track false alarms so they can better understand the impact they're having on emergency services and public safety.
What do you think of this idea? Are you required to obtain a permit to run your monitoring system?
