posted on 22/10/2007

Toys ‘R’ Us is switching the intruder and personal attack alarm monitoring for its total UK estate to Chiron Technology’s Iris system. Adoption of the Iris technology means Toys ‘R’ Us will take advantage of Chiron’s secure IP-based dual-path alarm signalling and should reduce its alarm monitoring bill by around 70% compared with its previous use of existing line protection systems and back-up. The chain has chosen to use the Iris 840 dual-path IP/GPRS signalling system to provide communications between its 73 UK stores and its alarm receiving centre, provided by contract management and monitoring provider SSS Management Services. SSS' NSI-approved ARC, which is accredited to BS5979 and BSEN ISO 9002, includes secure digital-based TCP/IP communications for monitoring of intruder alarms, CCTV, access control and other management systems.
