Which type of supervising station alarm is wired into a common receiving point operated by the facility owner?

The idea being tested is who owns and operates the receiving point that collects fire alarm signals. When a supervising-station alarm is wired to a common receiving point that is operated by the facility owner, the system is designed so the owner controls a central receiving location that aggregates the alarms. This setup is described as a remote receiving system: the signals from the fire alarm are sent to a single receiving point that the facility owner maintains, rather than being handled by a third-party central station or being entirely on-site and monitored by internal staff. This arrangement gives the owner centralized control over monitoring and dispatch while using a remote receiver to collect and relay the alerts.
