Question

Options
- ACentral station alarm
- BProprietary alarm
- CA remote station alarm
- DAn auxiliary station alarm
Explanation
An auxiliary station alarm connects a building's alarm system directly into the local municipality's existing fire or police alarm circuits. When triggered, the alarm is automatically relayed over those municipal circuits to both the local fire/police station and the appropriate central headquarters - without requiring a separate monitoring service. This distinguishes it from: a central station alarm (monitored by a private commercial monitoring company), a proprietary alarm (monitored by on-site staff at a dedicated control center), and a remote station alarm (transmits to a fire or police station but not necessarily through municipal circuits or to headquarters).
