THE NEW DICE MONITOR

January 2024 EDITION

My Vision


AVS-01 and The New DICE

A Game-Changer for the Industry

The Monitoring Association's (TMA) groundbreaking new standard, AVS-01 (Alarm Validation Scoring Standard), is leading the charge in revolutionizing how burglar alarms are handled. This will bring significant benefits to monitoring centers, first responders, and ultimately, the entire industry.


Let's take a deeper look at AVS-01 and then let me share how The New DICE is doing its part in this game-changing standard with our vision, products, and services.


Why is AVS-01 so important?

  • Enhanced first responder response time: Equipping responders with verified information will provide faster response time. In addition, having that information before they arrive allows them to take proper precautions and minimize potential risks.
  • Reduced false alarms: AVS-01 analyzes data from traditional alarm panels as well as smart devices like sensors and cameras to assess the likelihood of real danger before dispatching emergency responders. This means fewer wasted resources and safer response for everyone.
  • Improved apprehension rates: Precise information obtained through AVS-01 helps police prioritize genuine threats, leading to faster apprehensions and potentially preventing crimes in progress.


How does AVS-01 work?

  • Standardized scoring: Monitoring centers utilize AVS-01 metrics to assign a score to each alarm, ranking its authenticity based on data from connected devices.
  • Streamlined communication: A defined protocol ensures clear and efficient information exchange between monitoring centers and emergency responders, eliminating confusion and delays.
  • Dynamic workflows: Monitoring centers can adapt their response procedures based on AVS-01 scores, leading to more effective and targeted interventions.


The New DICE: Your AVS-01 Advantage

Having a comprehensive understanding of what is happening at the location of the alarm provides critical context for operational success. The fast adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, including sensors, cameras, virtual assistants, etc. has significantly improved situational awareness.


Because AVS-01 is the first standard to look at data and variables provided by smart devices and use it to ascertain new priorities in the monitoring center, this will undoubtedly boost the adoption of audio and video monitoring for security dealers. And DICE is right at the forefront in making this a reality.


Did you know that DICE is the only company that has a cloud-based unified platform for alarms, video, infrastructure services, communications, and much more.


This has become even more important with AVS-01. Communication between monitoring centers and emergency responders is vital, empowering first responders with crucial and verified information. DICE, as unified platform, is providing the communication needed as well as real-time information!


The bottom line is that by prioritizing alarms based on real-time information from these smart devices, AVS-01 paves the way for widespread adoption of audio and video monitoring in the security industry.


DICE is ready. Are you?

Both dealers and central station can offer audio and video verification as part of your security packages.


Your security package, using our cloud-based, unified platform, seamlessly integrates alarms, video, communications, and more, providing the information to meet the AVS-01 standard. It also helps to prioritize real threats and ensure swift response to genuine emergencies.


DICE is your one-stop shop for AVS-01 and capitalizing on its potential, both in compliance and providing you with a new and powerful business model that adds to your value as a company and increases your RMR.


Are you ready? We would like to share our vision and how all that DICE is doing can help you shape your future strategy roadmap.

A Central Station with the DICE Unified Platform Provides its Dealers and End Users with....

DICE is the only company that has a cloud-based unified platform for alarms, video, infrastructure services, communications, and much more.


Other automation companies only have part of the solution. Central stations, command centers, and dealers need to mix and match different software / infrastructure, which, when you think about it, doesn't make sense.


What does that mean for dealers and end users? There are many advantages having a unified platform. Central stations can offer and dealers and end users can take advantage of:


• Mobile armed/disarmed and partitioned video zones for cameras

• Instant multi-view of live and recorded video events for end users

• Patented VPN, cybersecurity, and automatic registration of all devices

• Voice down & remote activation of devices (doors, gates, etc.)

• Automated and scheduled reports with embedded video events

...and much more!


That is just the tip of the iceberg. Dealers are looking for central stations that can offer these features and new services. Will your central station be able to provide it to them?


You will if you have Matrix. Contact us today for a no obligation demo and to see how easy it is to switch to Matrix.
