Overview

PPVAR was established to educate all electronic security stakeholders on the value of video, audio and emerging technologies to verify alarm activity during the dispatch process to ultimately reduce false alarms, increase apprehension rates, provide quality information for increased first responder safety. We have built an organization comprised of members from Public Safety and the Electronic Security Industry to fairly represent all interests in the battle against property crime to provide the most reliable and cost effective alarm response to the end user. Although we remain committed to traditional alarm response methods as a deterrent to crime, we consider video & audio verification to be a significant enhancement and one that deserves a higher priority response by all first responders. Our goal is to collaborate with all members involved in the alarm response process and share best practices, ideas and the information necessary to maximize the effectiveness of all resources necessary to protect our valued customers' life and property.
