Managed Video Services UL Listing (UL 827 And 827B)

Hey everyone, 

I know that monitoring is usually on the periphery here but the wealth of knowledge is awesome so I figured I would pose the question. After slowly getting into video monitoring as a contract security providor, my company has decided to jump in with both feet and build out our monitoring central station. The discussions here, all of the threads have been a big help to me already.

But today we had a discussion about developing a plan to become UL listed in the near future. I know a little about UL 827 (Central Stations) and 827B (Monitoring Video Services) but wanted to see if anyone here had real experiences with implementation. I am assuming that you would need to comply with both parts to get your UL certificate? Any recommended checklists?

Hey Evan,

My background before starting with IPVM was covering the monitoring beat at Security Systems News and then I worked in sales at a central station. I'm reaching out to my contacts to see what I can find and will be doing a post as soon as I can.

Thank you for the discussion topic!

My pleasure, Evan. Glad to investigate. Also, not sure if you're a TMA member or not, but in general the ACCENT Listserver is a great resource for any and all questions/issues/best practices for monitoring centers. You need to be a TMA member to join the Listserver.
