It shall be unlawful for any alarm system to terminate directly at the Berkeley Police Department whether or not said alarm system signal is transmitted by prerecorded dialing devices, telephone lines, radio waves, or any other means, unless specifically authorized in writing by the Chief of Police and the City of Berkeley electrical division.

Any alarm system which, when activated, causes an alarm to be sent by self-dialing, prerecorded voice notification units must meet "UL" standards for installation and equipment or similar standards of another testing agency. (Ord. 5377-NS § 8, 1981)
