With Locations in Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City, IA

While security cameras are a nice measure to have installed on your property, security cameras alone will not protect your home or business from intruders. For example, if you are out of town, you may not easily know that intruders have broken into your home or office until it is too late. If you have cameras, you can pull up the footage of the burglary to show the authorities, but the damage will have already been done.

Alarm Monitoring

One feature to add to your security system is alarm monitoring. With alarm monitoring, you can go out of town without worrying about constantly checking camera footage or needing a friend to housesit for you. Alarm monitoring technology contacts local authorities as soon as the alarm is tripped.

This way the authorities can be immediately dispatched to your home without you having to call them, which means police can arrive in time to catch the intruders in the act. This can relieve the anxiety that many experience in the time between a robbery and when the perpetrators are caught. You can have peace of mind knowing that trespassers were caught immediately and will not attempt to break in again.

Alarm monitoring is not only beneficial whenever you are out of the house, but also serves as protection for you and your family when you are inside your home. For example, if an intruder breaks in while you and your family are at home or are asleep, you may have a delayed reaction before calling the police.

Your priority will be to get yourself and your family to safety. You may even attempt to ward off the intruder on your own. During this time, your alarm monitoring system will contact the authorities for you, so you can rest assured that help is coming.
