A Proprietary Alarm is used to protect large complexes or several sites with one receiving point. Which statement is true?

• A. It Is Used For Single-Family Homes
• B. It Monitors Only One Store
• C. It Centralizes Monitoring For Multiple Locations
• D. It Is Part Of The Building Smoke Control

Answer: (C)

A Proprietary Alarm is owned and operated by the property owner or manager and is designed to protect multiple buildings or sites from a single monitoring point. This setup centralizes all alarm signals at one receiving point, making it ideal for large complexes or campuses where coordination and rapid response across several locations are needed. That’s why the correct statement is that it centralizes monitoring for multiple locations. It isn’t used for single-family homes, it isn’t limited to just one store, and it isn’t part of building smoke control, which handles airflow and smoke management rather than monitoring.
