A complete intrusion alarm featuring motion detectors; glass break detectors; heat, smoke, and rate of rise detectors; and monitored by an Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC)-listed central station, should be included in all buildings and storage facilities. Although most insurers require heat, smoke, and rate of rise detectors, they are not required by code in some jurisdictions. If the building will be fitted with automatic sprinklers, the alarm should also monitor water flow at the sprinkler riser. Dealers should consider who will have access to the buildings as key holders, and who will respond to an alarm event. Bear in mind, insurers prefer that a response company respond to any building alarms.
