The Advantages of a Professional Alarm Provider

April 4, 2023 10:18 pm Comments Off

In a world of increasingly numerous options in the market for self-installed alarm systems, we get many questions about the advantages of using a professional Tucson alarm provider for your security needs.

Expertise and Experience are the primary reason why hiring an alarm company is the best option for most homeowners in Tucson. Professional alarm companies have extensive expertise and experience in home security systems. They have trained professionals who can recommend the best security solutions for your home, and who can install and maintain your system to ensure that it is functioning correctly.

24/7 Monitoring means that your home is being monitored even when you’re not there. If your alarm is triggered, the monitoring center will immediately alert the authorities, which can help to prevent theft or damage to your property. Additionally, DIY solutions do come with monitoring options. However, once these services are added on and you have upgraded to utilize all the features, you’re spending about the same amount.

Remote Access and Control means that professional alarm companies offer remote access and control of your security system, which allows you to monitor your home from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. You can arm or disarm your system, view live video feeds, and receive alerts if there is any unusual activity in your home.

Increased Peace of Mind is knowing that your home is being monitored and protected by a professional alarm company can provide you with increased peace of mind. You can rest easy knowing that your home and your family are safe and secure, even when you’re not there.

Call Central Alarm today to see how we can help YOU enjoy the peace of mind working with a local company right here in Tucson can give you. Call (520) 600-6548 today, or you can Contact Us via email or submit a request.

5 Ways to Improve Business Security

July 3, 2022 10:28 pm Comments Off

1. Install Video Surveillance

Video surveillance has come a long way over the years, and solutions are getting better, faster and even more affordable. Today there is little reason not to employ a video surveillance system because of how easy they are to install and how affordable they are. They give you access to remotely view what is happening in and around your business, and can provide remote off-site backups in the cloud to give you even more peace of mind.

2. Complete a Threat Analysis

When you work with a security expert, one of the first things that will occur is a threat analysis. This is a crucial step in understanding how best to secure your business, which includes a list of potential security threats, potential solutions and which tools make the most sense. This can include both actions on the part of the business owner as well as recommendations by our security team. We want to properly identify weak points and address those specifically to ensure you have the right solutions in place to guarantee your safety.

This doesn’t just apply to outside forces acting against you from the exterior. This also includes solutions to address both customer theft as well as employee theft.

We work with you to determine every possibility in order to employ common sense tools to install and maintain a high level of security for your business.

3. CCTV Consulting

Our commercial security experts can work with you to determine what type of video recording technology will work best for your specific situation. We offer a huge range of analog and digital solutions that can meet any of your requirements.

4. Install Monitored Alarms

Central Alarm Inc. will always recommend a monitored solution beyond self-monitored. Frankly, there is too much at stake at your business for your own livlihood and those of your employees to save a few dollars and potentially avoid your business from being damaged or burglarized. Any security expert will tell you this is one of the first steps to achieving a defense against attempts to break into your commercial space. Monitored solutions are managed remotely and can immediately tell when something is amiss and begin to notify the appropriate parties.

We can work with you to determine what system makes the most sense for your business and how these solutions can work for you to make an effective security footprint.

5. Warn Intruders

It might sound odd to announce to intruders that you have active recording, but studies clearly back up that criminal behavior is directly dictated by deterrent level. If it is clear that you are recording what is happening on the company premises, you provide a huge incentive for intruders to pass your company by. Posting clear signage and visible cameras around the inside and exterior of your property to make people aware they are being monitored is an excellent way to keep your business safer.

Not Residential or Commercial Security, But Good AirTag Safety Info

June 14, 2022 10:21 pm Comments Off

While this demonstration isn’t directly related to Residential or Commercial Security, we felt that it was good safety information to know. AirTags are a relatively new technology that brings a completely new element to allow individuals to more readily track various items, or in this case, people.

Keep your wits about you and maintain a good level of education about what is going on! Stay safe out there, Tucson!

What to Do In the Event of a Break In

October 16, 2020 10:51 am Comments Off

The unthinkable has happened – someone has broken into the home during the night. Now what? The most important thing is to remember a plan you’ve already come up with, which is why we always recommend that you have a working understanding in your mind of what to do. Otherwise in a state of adrenalin in the moment, you might make poor choices. What are some tips to keep in mind in this situation?

Call 911 Immediately – Get on the phone right away with emergency staff. In the event of a monitored system being in the home, the authorities likely have already been alerted, but emergency personnel will be able to confirm the moment that police have arrived and when they have cleared the home. That ensures you can come out safely.

Weapons Are a Last Resort – Unless you are a trained professional, it is not recommended that you grab a weapon and confront the intruders. At this point you are unsure how many intruders are in the home and what they are after. It is far more effective to maintain a distance between you and them in places they cannot easily access. Weapons should be considered a last resort when the issue is forced.

Don’t Make a Sound – Remain quiet and stay barred into locked areas that are not easily accessible. If you can easily escape the home to go to a neighboring home, that is another option.

Keep Your Car Keys at Hand – Keeping car keys at hand not only shuts off potential get-away vehicles to criminals but at this point you can use the panic button on your remote if you have one. This kind of noise can also deter criminals and force them to flee.

Don’t forget that your family is the most important thing to keep safe during these of situations. Belongings can easily be replaced. Remember that the actions you take are designed to maintain safety for everyone in the home!

As always, Central Alarm offers fully monitored solutions that provide the peace of mind you need to ensure the safety of your family. If you don’t currently have an alarm system in place, or you don’t have one that is monitored, we recommend that you contact us today for a completely free security evaluation and quote. We have a huge range of options with varying price points and can meet the needs of any budget!

Is Your Home or Business Safe?

April 20, 2020 11:15 pm Comments Off

During the COVID-19 pandemic, most of us are home for a bit more than usual, if not working from home regularly. This may be an ideal time to look at some of your security measures at home and also at your office.

Home Owners

If you haven’t done a security check on your doors, windows and other entries, or have been putting off installing a security system, then this is the right time for both of these steps. This allows you to make an accurate assessment of your property and we can work with you to determine what type of system works best for your family’s safety and budget.

While most people are hunkered down, there are opportunities for criminals to take advantage. And if more people get desperate because of a long-term community shut down, then you want to ensure you are protected.

Business Owners

This is a specific comment to small business owners that have been deemed “non-essential” in the community. If your location is empty, are you adequately protected from theft? If you don’t know the answer to this question, or can’t readily say if a break-in occurs what your immediate next steps are, we invite you to call us today.

Simple monitoring solutions can ensure that criminals do not take advantage of fewer people being around business properties.

Don’t Forget – We’re Still Operating!

The great news is that Central Alarm Inc is still operating and if you have any questions or concerns about your security at home or at your business, our professionals can work with you to make smart and budget conscious decisions. Our teams have been fully trained with personal protective equipment (PPE) in adherence to CDC guidelines and our phone support is second to none.
