Carlisle Street trades from early coffee to late dinners and drinks. Many of its shops and venues sit under apartments or open onto arcades, lanes and car parks. When an alarm activates after the last person has left, someone needs to check it.
With alarm response from TeamSignal Security, that check is made by one of our officers instead of you or your staff. The officer works through the areas you nominate, calls the people on your list and records the attendance. If your alarm is not monitored, we can arrange back-to-base monitoring through a professional monitoring centre.
Many Carlisle Street premises share a building with apartments, sit inside an arcade or have their back door on a lane or car park. That changes how an officer gets in and what they check.
Before response starts, we agree:
When tenants, staff or contacts change, tell your account manager and the instructions are updated.
Cafés, restaurants and bars on Carlisle Street often close hours after the shops around them. The last person out sets the alarm, and an activation later in the night can come from a door that did not latch, a system fault or an attempted break-in. Either way, it needs checking.
For venues, an alarm response plan can cover:
We work to the industry response requirements that apply, or the times agreed in your contract, and aim to attend well within them. Attendance on the night depends on officer availability, the time of the activation and traffic.
Three different parties can be involved when an alarm activates:
Council has also proposed Carlisle Street as a location for new public CCTV, with footage linked to St Kilda Police Station. Those cameras watch public spaces. Your own alarm, monitoring and response arrangements still cover your premises. For new or upgraded systems, see our CCTV and alarm systems.
Tell us about your premises, your trading hours, how your alarm is monitored and how an officer would get in. If you share an entry with apartments or other tenants, include the building manager’s details.

Yes. We can arrange back-to-base monitoring through a professional monitoring centre, so activations are passed to us for response. If you already have monitoring, we can work with your current provider.
We agree the entry with you before response starts, including any shared or rear door, where an access arrangement is agreed. The officer checks only your premises and the areas you nominate.
