| Who will call the police or fire department when your alarm sounds?
A monitored alarm sends information to our UL Listed Monitoring Station which
allows us to determine which authority to call, police or fire. We then see to it
that someone is notified that an alarm has occurred. This way you are not left to
wonder when you get home or come into work and see that your alarm has gone off. Without monitoring, you are dependent upon a neighbor or passerby to inform
police or fire officials if an emergency situation occurs.
For Businesses, alarm monitoring is an almost absolute necessity.
Commercial intrusion systems not only protect a premise and its contents after
hours, but it can also offer a certain amount of protection to personnel during business
hours with the use of hold-up or panic devices. These devices silently alert our
Operators who quickly dispatch police with the highest priority. Help is on the way
when seconds count.
By code, many businesses are required to have a monitored fire alarm
or sprinkler system.
A common misconception is that residential burglaries are committed
in the evening, when in actuality, a majority of burglaries occur during the daytime when
homeowners are away at work. Fires are no exception... they too are more likely to
start when there isn't anyone at home to detect the early signs of a fire hazard.
Having an unmonitored alarm is like driving a car without wearing a
seatbelt. The protection is there, just not utilized.
