Two reasons:
1. Most owners leave town at some point, from a short trip to a beach holiday to a long overseas trip. They are often not in a position to respond, even if the cell phone coverage is good and the activation is successfully transmitted. Police seldom respond to Alarm Activations.
2. Most owners are also unaware of System Activations (Tampers, Power Loss, Low Batteries etc.). Our state of the art Monitoring System has power back up to run our station in the event of a power cut, our system deciphers what the exact issue is with your Alarm and our professional, well trained team members would be able to help with this.
There are many reasons why having your Alarm professionally Monitored is the right way to go.
1. Having your Alarm Monitored drops your insurance premiums, basically the money you save with your insurance pays for the monitoring.
2. The Police force are understaffed, we can guarantee our response rate is quick. We have had an incident where the Guard has contacted the Police in the event of a confirmed Glass Break, the Police told our Guard that the keyholder had to contact Police. Security were first onsite for the Activation, thankfully the offenders had fled the scene before our Guards had arrived.
