Why Monitored Security?

Monitoring increases the value of your security system.

By considering the purchase of a professionally installed security system, you've taken the first step toward improving the security of your home or business.

There are essentially two ways a security system can be configured to respond to an alarm. The first is a "local" alarm, in which your system's horn, siren and/or alarm-connected lights would activate to alert you to an emergency. The second is a "monitored" alarm, in which your security system activates sirens and automatically sends a signal to a central station. An operator at the central station gathers the details about your alarm and calls the appropriate authorities, such as the police or fire department, as pre-arranged by you and your professional security consultant.

In most cases, a monitored security system provides superior protection because it ensures that someone will always know about an alarm - whether or not you are there when it happens. Central stations are staffed around-the-clock by trained operators.

Monitoring gives you the most value for your investment by ensuring that no emergency will go unattended.

By now you've heard the stories about Americans whose identities have been stolen. They're not pretty…people working for hundreds of hours over many years to get their lives back in order, kids not getting student loans because someone has already ruined their credit, people losing homes because thieves placed mortgages they never knew existed, even innocent individuals ending up in jail.
