Central Monitoring is a service provided to alarm system owners to give them yet another level of protection. How it works: When your alarm system is triggered, it sends a signal to the central monitoring center, where a trained operator acts based on the signal type received, you should receive a call about the alarm from this monitoring center. 

There are many forms of communication we offer for alarm signal communication. The best overall options are Cellular & Network.

Contact our office at (800) 722-1070, Option 4 to discuss your options.

Your system PIN is a 4 to 6-digit code that allows you to arm/disarm your system as well as access your system remotely through your app. A passcode is a form of verification to confirm we are speaking with an authorized user about the account.

Regular testing and training for security users. We recommend you test your security system quarterly to ensure all devices are functioning properly. You will also want to make sure to run a training test with any new guests or employees who will be using your security system. 

Fire systems should be inspected by a professional at least once a year for any deficiencies. We also recommend performing fire drills at your own discretion. Not only does this allow you to keep up to date in case of a fire but also to confirm all the horns and strobes are alerting properly throughout the year.  

Address the beeping by acknowledging your system. It varies from system to system for security, consult your user manual. Fire systems should have an acknowledge/silence button that will need to be pressed to stop the fire panel from beeping. 

If it’s after hours and you can silence the beeping, call our office the next business day between 8 am and 5 pm. If you are not able to silence the beeping and its after hours, call (800) 722-1070 and select option 3.

For pet owners, we recommend a solution using pet-friendly motion sensors. These are specifically designed to prevent false alarms when a small or medium pet activates the sensor. For owners of larger pets (greater than 50-70 pounds) additional considerations like window and glass break detectors might be a better solution. 

Yes, we will place a note on your account advising of the length of time away and if there are any house sitters staying at the residence or pets that will be left at home and their caretaker’s information. We can temporarily contact these individuals in the event of an alarm while you are away. 

Yes! Many camera systems can be self-monitored through a phone app or on CCTV, but if you want central monitoring to check your cameras during an alarm, we do offer this service with select systems. Reach out to our office at (800) 722-1070 and select option 4 to inquire. 

Yes! All newer security systems offer app access to your system. However, if you are using an older model security system, it may not be compatible to use this feature. Please contact our office at (800) 722-1070 option 4 to inquire about your existing system.  

For alarm system backup batteries, the typical life span is 3-5 years. This can vary depending on the variables of your environment and the model of your equipment.

Wireless device batteries should be changed once a year or as your system reports low battery issues. 

If you get the same low battery notification again after changing the battery less than 6 months prior, please contact our office at (800) 722-1070 and select option 4 for further assistance. 

Periodic testing is the best way to confirm your system is working as it is intended to do. Call our office at (800) 722-1070 and select option 4 for customer service. We will gladly walk you through testing your system. 

If your system is using a phone line to communicate, check to see if you have dial tone. If you do not have a dial tone, this means the phone line is having issues and you should contact your phone provider. 

If your system is using cellular, it could be that cell coverage is not adequate in your area or a cell tower is down, causing connectivity issues. We do offer cell signal boosters for alarm panels that are having cell coverage issues. 

If your system is using your Network, check to make sure your modem and/or router are not displaying any troubles and reset if they are. If your internet connection is good, it could be that something has changed, especially if you are running a dynamic IP, as your IP address can change at any time. We recommend a static IP address connection to correct this issue.  

If still not resolved, contact our office at (800) 722-1070 and select option 4.

An External Static IP address

An external IP is the address that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has assigned to your modem. This is the address “others” would use to reach you from the internet. In most cases, this address may be changed periodically by your ISP–this is what’s referred to as a dynamic IP. We do not recommend using a dynamic IP for connection. You may ask your ISP to assign you a permanent IP Address, usually at an additional charge. This is called a static IP. A static IP allows your devices to be configured for long-term use without service interruptions.

When there is a change in ISP, or perhaps you replaced or reset your router, the IP addresses and port information have likely been lost. In this case, your equipment may need to be reconfigured to work properly.

Many systems have redundant connectivity options for reporting alarms, such as a wireless radio. Products with this feature allow your system to report trouble, even when you are offline – however, features such as viewing cameras remotely, mobile app and smart home integrations, and device updates will likely be affected.

Many User Guides are available right here, online! If the model you have is not listed, you may choose to check the manufacturer’s website or reach out to your consultant for further assistance.
