About the TMA-AVS-01 Alarm Validation Scoring Standard
AVS (Alarm Validation Scoring) is an intrusion alarm classification standard. The standard defines intrusion alarms based on various threat levels and the process to determine the alarm level. This process can be done manually by a central station operator or can be adapted by automation providers or other parties for automated processing. It also includes language on communicating these classified or scored alarms to Public Safety through Emergency Communication centers (ECCs/911) as well as language regarding compliance for alarm monitoring centers.
There are five alarm levels:
No call for police response
Police response request with no or limited additional information
Police response request with confirmed or ‘highly probable’ human presence with unknown intent
Police response request with confirmed threat to property
Police response request with confirmed threat to life
