A local alarm system designed to provide notification to building occupants on the immediate premises is called what?

• A. Central Station System
• B. Protected Premises (Local)
• C. Supervising Station System
• D. Remote Monitoring System

Answer: (B)

The main idea tested is the level at which alarm signaling provides notification. Local, or protected premises, systems are designed to alert people on the immediate site—within the building or property—without sending signals to a monitoring service. So the alarm sounds for occupants on the premises, and responders are those nearby who can take action.

That’s why the best choice is protected premises (local): it denotes on-site notification to building occupants only. The other options involve external monitoring—central station, supervising station, or remote monitoring—which route alarms to a monitoring facility rather than just warning people on the property.
