I want you picture a scenario. Your job is too be there, on time, awake, sober, in uniform and clean. And then to stay on property to man the computers and alarms in case something goes wrong, do a bit of driving around for visibility so that people who might wanna break in know there are people on property and will hopefully choose a softer target, and check the door locks which takes about an hour and a half of an 8 hour shift. There are 2 people on the site doing this job, one in the truck/walking around checking the door locks, and the other one is manning the computers and alarms in case something goes wrong.
Unless and until an alarm goes off, your there for the same reason a fire extinguisher is in the kitchen, and work has a first aid kit and a defibrillator. NOT because you expect too need them often, but cause when you need them you really need them, and it's cheaper than the insurance cost of NOT having them.
So, given that overnight alarms are a once a month at absolute most scenario (And even then are generally all sorted in an hour or less barring VERY abnormal circumstances. ), the basic expectation is "Stair at paint, don't do anything for 8 hours, and don't fall asleep, cause were trying to ban everything none work related, which is almost everything we can think of in our uncreative boomer minds, and expect this too work. Please nevermind all the numerous decades of study's that say this is the stupidest way of doing this we could pick."
That's not "We expect you to work at work." that's "we expect you to effectively get in a deep fighting stance, and hold it for 8 hours, even though anyone who's paid any attention too the actual job understands that that is both none essential and indeed, actually potentially counter productive."
