In this age of technology, alarms are everywhere. As you go about your day, it’s common to hear car alarms sounding, house alarms wailing, and horns honking. Over time, we’ve learned to drown a lot of it out. Since alarms are so common that people have almost been conditioned to disregard them, security alarm monitoring is more important than ever.
While having an alarm system is useful, if the only response to a fire or burglary is passersby glancing over, shrugging, and walking past, the alarm system only fulfills a small portion of its purpose.
Security Alarm Monitoring for All Types of Emergencies
Mistakenly, many people believe that monitored security systems only protect against burglaries, sending the police when a break-in occurs. In fact, a professionally-installed and monitored security system can keep your family safe in a wide variety of emergencies.
Whether it senses the smoke from a fire or a buildup of carbon monoxide, when a security system is monitored, it will do more than simply create noise. It will send the appropriate police, fire, or medical personnel to your residence to put out a blaze, get people out of the house, or render aid to anyone who is ill or incapacitated.
Call Center Professionals: An Important Part of the Puzzle
Because they’re the communicators between you and emergency personnel, it’s important to have well-trained, professional security experts working at your security alarm monitoring center. This is why ProTech Security is proud to have partnered with Rapid Response Monitoring for central station monitoring services.
Imagine one of the two following scenarios: your burglar alarm has been set off while you’re upstairs asleep or one of your glass break sensors has been activated while you’re at work during the day. Whether you’re at home and communicating with central station personnel or receive a call from them to notify you of an alarm while you’re away, you need them to be calm, professional, quickly responsive, and able to make a good decision on when to send a police, fire, or medical team.
