Why ULC Fire Alarm Monitoring Is Essential
Why ULC Fire Alarm Monitoring Is EssentialMost fire alarms are designed to alert building occupants—not dispatch emergency responders. With a ULC-S561-compliant monitoring system, you get:
-
- Automatic fire department dispatch within 30 seconds of an alarm trigger
- 24/7 professional monitoring by a certified ULC station
- Compliance with fire codes and insurance requirements
- Peace of mind knowing nothing is left to chance in an emergency
How Our ULC Fire Alarm Monitoring Works
We install a ULC-approved fire alarm transmitter that connects to your existing fire alarm or sprinkler system. When triggered, your system instantly sends a signal to our ULC-certified monitoring station.
What We Monitor:
-
- Fire Alarms: Smoke, heat, pull stations, and sprinkler activation
- Fire Troubles: System faults or malfunctions—reported within 5 minutes
- Sprinkler Waterflow: Triggers emergency dispatch when activated
- Low Pressure Alerts: Warns of system issues that could prevent sprinkler activation
- Gate Valve Status: Ensures sprinkler valves remain open and ready
Reliable Communication Backed by ULC Standards
We use ULC-approved communication methods to transmit emergency signals:
-
- Cellular (most secure and common)
- IP (Internet-based)
- Landline (POTS)
- DVACS (for legacy systems)
Redundant Monitoring Options:
-
- Active systems: Monitored every 180 seconds with no backup required
- Passive systems: Daily supervision with a second communication path (e.g., cellular + IP)
Our technicians will recommend the right setup based on your building’s needs, budget, and code requirements.
What Is ULC-S561 and Why Does It Matter?
ULC-S561 is the Canadian standard for fire alarm monitoring—mandated in many building and fire codes. It governs everything from how monitoring equipment is installed and maintained to how emergency signals are handled.
At ProActive Integrated Security, we:
-
- Meet all ULC-S561 requirements
- Operate a certified ULC monitoring center
- Can issue official ULC certificates for insurance and compliance
If your fire alarm monitoring provider can’t issue a ULC certificate, you are not ULC compliant.

Here's What They Say
ProActive Integrated Security Ltd. is a professional security company who provides the utmost care in ensuring your residential property is secure, safe and protected. From the initial contact to the completion of the work, everyone involved answered all my questions and concerns in a prompt and courteous manner. I would highly recommend this company for all your security needs. Thank you to Bren and Troy for your expertise.
I called in the morning as my alarm was going off and I didn’t know why. I spoke to Brenda initially and she was very calm, professional and patient with me. She was able to do some troubleshooting with me and told me the cost to have a technician come to my house. The technician was scheduled to come within the hour. Todd was also very professional and took the time to explain what he was doing and how I could better utilize my security system. I truly felt valued as a customer and would recommend them.
Needed a tech to come take a look at our alarm system, Bren was super responsive and very quick to reply with helpful information. She was able to get a tech sent out easily. The tech was on time and very professional. Had us back up and running in no time. Great service from everyone I dealt with! Highly recommended if you have questions or need your alarm system looked at. Thanks ProActive!
That was best customer service and the fastest delivery of service I have ever experienced. Amazing! We needed our fire alarm reset and they were amazingly fast to send a technician. Technician was amazing, he not only fixed the issue but also demonstrated how to fix it in future and how to operate the alarm system. I knew nothing about this system. Thank you again for such an incredibly fast service.
ProActive is a "10". Quality, quick and friendly service. Dedication to detail and resolution of problems. They have restored our faith in what customer service looks like.
👍👍😊😊
ProActive Security was highly recommended by a family member that has received services from this company for approximately 20 years. Recently I had them install a new home security system and this was the easiest decision for my new home. Bren has been my first point of contact via email and always provided a response within the same day. Installation completed by Troy was fast and professional.
I had to run a DIY c/o YouTube factory reset on my system. I called ProActive and Brenda is so pleasant over the phone, and within 15m she had me schedule for a service that same day. Within 30m Troy is over at my place to service my alarm system, and he finished within 30m walking me through all the work he is doing (so I can learn to DIY for next time). If you guys call try to request for TROY, he is so polite and so pleasant to talk to. This guys are AMAZING! Keep it up guys! My home security go-to from now on!
We had proactive come in to install a completely new CCTV system. Ian and Troy were incredible. Very professional, friendly and helpful. Service was stellar and will be recommending to all colleagues who are looking to update their system. Top notch service and great product. Very happy with results.
