(a) The Chief of Police, or his designee, shall have the authority, at reasonable times and upon oral notice, to enter upon any premises within the Village to inspect only installation and operation of an alarm system the purpose of which is to report an emergency to the police.
In the event the premise to be inspected is a private dwelling such inspection shall only be done between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and only if the notice is in written form addressed to the permit holder and presented to a responsible adult. Under this chapter, such residences are only subject to the above inspection after three false alarms have originated from them. The written notice shall cite the specific false alarm history of that permit. Failure to allow reasonable inspection of alarm system may be grounds for revocation of the alarm permit.
(b) The Chief of Police, or his designee, may require that repairs or adjustments be made whenever he has determined that such repairs are necessary to assure proper operation. Failure to make such repairs or adjustments may be grounds for revocation of the alarm permit.
(c) No alarm user permit shall be issued for any alarm system installed after December 31, 1999 that can be activated by a failure in the electrical current from the utility. Systems shall be equipped with a secondary power source that shall hold the alarm readiness for a minimum of 120 minutes or shall be rendered inoperable by such power interruption.
(d) After December 31, 2000, no alarm user permit shall be issued or renewed for any audible alarm or automatic dialer alarm system designed to detect an intrusion that does not have an automatic cutoff that ceases the alarm signals within fifteen minutes after activation.
(e) The equipment shall meet standards as set forth by the State and the Chief of Police, and the applicants may be required to submit evidence of the reliability and suitability of the equipment to be installed.
