About Alarm Receiving Centre
An ARC (Alarm Receiving Centre) is the 24/7 control room that watches your cameras and alarms, verifies threats, and dispatches response. UK providers operate from BS 5979 Cat II-graded facilities with redundant power, network paths, and trained operators. Whether you're a security installer looking for a white-label monitoring partner or an end-user wanting direct ARC connection, SitePatrol lists the operators that cover your service.
