Monitoring Service

1. Monitoring Service https://pogosecurity.com/

2. Each year, there are more than 2.5 million home intrusions in the U.S., proving that a burglar alarm system on its own is not enough. A professional monitoring service of the system will be your first line of defense, notifying the police to immediately come out to your property. Statistics show that most burglaries take place after a home or commercial property has been carefully scrutinized. Burglars watch the movements of the residents or employees and prefer to break in when there is no one present. In the event of the burglar alarm going off while you are away, how will you know about it to respond?

3. At a very low monthly or yearly cost, this is how you can benefit from a 24 hour, seven days a week security monitoring service: Swift response: The moment the alarm is activated o your property, our monitoring station knows about it and they contact the police. Emergencies: Any smoke, fire or water detectors will instantly sound the alarm in the event of an emergency and we will immediately contact the relevant authorities.

4. Panic alarm response: Many businesses and homes opt for panic response during break-ins or a crisis. • This can be placed in a strategic position of the area monitored or it can be one of the buttons on the remote controlled alarm activating/deactivating device. The moment the button is pressed the police will be contacted. • The responsibilities of the monitoring service: • 24-hour/365 days a year monitoring - A centralized computer system, staffed by trained professionals, will immediately alert you to an alarm or fault. • Communication – In the event of a residential alarm being activated, the person monitoring the system will communicate with the homeowner by phone to ensure that they are safe or if they need the police or emergency services. • If a business alarm is activated, then the monitoring service will contact the telephone of the person who is responsible. Modern monitoring systems are adaptive, and quickly know which person to contact within the business, while also remembering any changes for future reference.

5. Verification and response – The instant the alarm is received the monitoring agent identifies and verifies it. If the verification is negative, i.e. no intruders, the agent will restore the system. If it is positive, then the right types of emergency services are sent out. The system automatically chooses the emergency services closest to the home or business. • Keeping systems operational – Modern burglar alarm systems can also notify the monitoring service about any faults or failures within the system. This allows for the fault to be rectified so that the system is optimally operational at all times. • The type of monitoring service you choose will depend on many factors. • Most types of monitoring services require a telephone line or internet connection. • Nowadays, people opt to arm or disarm a burglar alarm via a mobile phone and its service provider, without needing the internet. Home automation systems can be interconnected with burglar alarm systems and cameras, while alerts can be received on mobiles or emails. • Speak to us at Pogo Security and we will advise you on the best monitoring service for you.
