What happens if my system goes into alarm.

Our monitoring station will receive a signal and then reach out according to your call-out procedures.  They will try to reach each person on the list and if they do not get a hold of you then the police or appropriate service will be dispatched to assist you.

 


Who should I call if I set off my alarm by accident?

Call the monitoring station at 1-888-267-7858 and they will assist you.  They will reach out to you as well but it is best to be pro-active and avoid a false dispatch of police or fire services.  It also helps free up the station operators so they can concentrate on actual emergencies.
