Don't Be A Statistic!

As we enter the fall season it is a special time but with the holidays soon approaching, burglaries tend to be on the rise.  Don't be a statistic.  Remember to arm your system as well as testing your system to ensure your system is communicating properly.  In addition, if you are a smart phone user and use apps then you may want to consider upgrading your existing system so that you can remotely access your alarm.  For more information contact our service department. 

Medical Alarms and More

What's great about security is you can additional services including fire and carbon protection.  As well as did you know that our central station is equipped to handle medical alarms?  As a monitored customer we can offer you a separate medical button without increasing your monitoring rate.  Therefore if there is an emergency and if pressed we will contact the ambulance as well as alert someone from your call list.  For more details, contact our service department.

Your Alarm and Permit Requirements

Every city and county has it's own ordinance. Your local Police Department or County Sheriff may require you to register your alarm system. Some police departments charge an annual fee. You will be billed for too many false alarms, and there are significant fees for operating an alarm system without a permit. Make sure to register your alarm system and avoid a hassle. You can also visit our web site for more information on permit requirements: http://absalarmco.com/alarm-permits.html


Beware of Bundling Services

Some Internet/phone and cable companies are now offering bundle packages that include an alarm. There are many reasons why bundling isn't good. For one, companies tend to want to sell bundling to customers so you'll be reluctant to switch because you have all your services looped together, even if you're unhappy with the company. In addition, these companies do not specialize in alarms so they cannot offer solid technical support, product diversity, as well as reliability to your alarm. Security is an important thing, and bundling it with a one stop shop that doesn't specialize in security is something to truly be cautious about. For more information or questions feel free to contact our service department at 1-888-595-6003.

Changing Your Telephone Service Provider?

In most cases, your alarm system is designed to work with your telephone line. It's connected in a special way to transmit alarm signals without interference using your main phone line. If this connection is disturbed, alarm signals may not be reported to the central station. Alarm systems may not work or may not be as reliable with some VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) cable telephone service providers

Before making any changes to your phone system it's important to let your telephone provider know that you have a monitored alarm, and call us so we can confirm if it's a reliable source for communication. Test the alarm before your phone tech leaves to ensure your alarm is communicating with our central station.

Another option - keep your traditional landline phone but reduce your service to receiving calls only. This can significantly reduce your phone bill and you can be assured that your alarm will continue to communicate. If you have any questions, call our service department at 1-888-595-6003.
