Why Should You Consider Professional Monitoring Over Self-Monitoring
May 23, 2018
Why should you give this some more thought? It sounds like a great idea when we talk about being able to do anything with our Smartphone. So why should you consider Professional Monitoring over Self-Monitoring?
Three simple reasons
24/7 Total Monitoring
Immediate Emergency Assistance
Easy Start Up
Security systems are installed to detect something and then alert someone that an alarm has been detected. Door Sensors detect that something has opened, motion sensors detect movement, glass breaks detect a frequency of noise, etc. If the system detects an alarm but no one is notified, nothing happens. For example, how many times have you heard a car alarm sound? What did you do? Notification is sent to your smartphone only. What happens if you are away? If you are on vacation, you may have your data/text turned off and you will not receive the alert when it happens. You are travelling and are out of 100 calling territory, who do you call?
If you look up the local police contact number, and you call them, they may require your registration number. Some municipalities have by-laws that state a security system must be registered, before responding. Should they respond, it may be noted that registered systems take priority. If it is a false alarm, you will be fined and could also be fined for not registering your system.
