ADT has been accredited with BS8418 for its Remote Video Response Centre.

This means that ADT customers with remote monitored or detector activated CCTV installations that also comply with BS8418 can now be issued with a police unique reference number, and subject to meeting the police response criteria, will be eligible for police attendance. ADT European communications director Peter Laverack said: “Receiving the accreditation is excellent news for our customers. The introduction of BS8418 will have a significant impact on the way CCTV systems are monitored and actioned by Remote Video response Centres in the future.”
