TECH’s Pick – Residential & Commercial Security Tips From Daniel Posted on February 19, 2019 by

commercial security tips from Daniel

Once a month, we will post a blog featuring a Security Alarm Technician and discuss their favorite security feature.

For February, we’re highlighting Daniel, who is not only a Security Alarm technician, but a local restaurant owner, and learning about his favorite commercial security system feature.

Question: What is your favorite feature that a security system can provide?

Answer: “The ability for a business owner to get notified when his alarm is not armed or disarmed by a certain time. This cuts way down on the number of times that their phone will ‘ding’. No need to get notified unless there is an issue. Families can also use this feature to notify them if the bus is late to drop their kids off. If the kids never disarm the system by a certain time, they will receive a notification.”

Remote Monitoring Improves Your Security System (and your life)

A traditional burglar alarm system is more robust than just motion and glass break detectors, door and window sensors and fire protection. Yes, these along with the keypad and control panel are the nuts and bolts of a security system. They keep you safe from break-ins and potential fires.

However, a security system can also improve your life in other ways.

When a security system is controlled by the Remote Safe app on your phone, it has the potential to simplify your life. One of the features of this app is the ability to receive notifications when a system is not armed or disarmed at a specific time.

Remote Safe For Commercial Security Systems

Business owners, like Daniel, find immense value in remote monitoring.

Let’s say you own five stores and all are connected to one Remote Safe app on your smartphone. It’s not necessarily important to get a notification every time an employee arms and disarms the system. You don’t need to know if Joe disarmed the system at 8:00 am or if Cindy armed the system at 8:00 pm.

What you do care about is knowing if Joe didn’t disarm the system when he was supposed to, and the same goes for Cindy. Remote Safe gives you the updates you need when you need them most.

Remote Safe For Residential Security Systems

Parents also benefit from this security system feature by knowing when their kids arrive from home from school.

For example, if the bus normally drops your kids off at 4:00 pm, you can set the Remote Safe app to notify you if your home is not disarmed by 4:05 pm. This gives your kids time to get off the bus, in the house, and to disarm the system. If they’re late, you’ll know instantly.

Technician Daniel’s Picks For Best Security System Feature

Daniel, our tech, is a restaurant owner and father of 3. He knows how busy his life is and he appreciates the time and headache saving features that Security Systems can provide.

Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, we’d like the chance to talk to you about how a professionally installed and monitored security system can simplify your life.

Systems are top notch - modern, reliable and thoughtfully designed to provide real peace of mind. Everything is explained clearly, installed professionally and customized to fit your needs rather than pushing a one-size fits all solution.

What truly sets them apart is their small-town, genuine desire to help. You're not treated like an account number - you're treated like a neighbor! Every interaction is personal, honest and rooted in a sincere commitment to keeping people safe. They take the time to answer questions, check in when needed and make sure everything is working as it should.

It is rare to find a business that combines cutting-edge security technology with such authentic care and integrity. If you are looking for a company that delivers exceptional systems AND truly stands behind their customers, Security Alarm is the one.

I have owned a security system for my personal residence for a number of years. From the installation to the follow up, the experience has been nothing short of a fantastic. I just recently added cameras to my system and again had the same positive experience. I know first hand that this company and their employees care about the customers they serve and they invest a lot of time and money back into the communities that they serve. Their competitors do not even begin to compare.

We have Security Alarm here at the church. We are well pleased with them. We do not have any issues with their security company. Once in a blue moon, there may be a technical issue. A simple phone call and they resolve the issue.

We like Security Alarm, we have had very little problems and what we did have they fixed. The only problem we have is when we travel, we have trouble seeing our cameras on our computer, could be the computer though and we can see them on our phones with no problem. Thanks, Larry

The entire experience was great. Meeting with salesperson Ryan C. who didn’t try to sell us things we didn’t need. The installation crew who cleaned up as they went along and answerd all the questions about operating the system. Top notch all around. Would highly recommend Security Alarm to anyone wanting peace of mind concerning the family and home.

The technicians (Curtis and Jeff) arrived as scheduled, had the installation diagrams as discussed with Larry during the sales presentation and immediately began working on the planned installation. These gents came prepared with proper tooling, equipment and most impressive was a strong desire to satisfy the customer. The install was timely, they ensured their quality of work was satisfactory and cleaned up their work areas after the system functionality was verified. Great technicians!
Response from the owner:Gene, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so thankful for our techs and the amazing work and customer care that they give.

I called Security Alarm to check on cameras for outside since we had used them in our Ag business for years. The process to get lined up was simple and Larry was very thorough in explaining everything. They were out in just a few days to install them. Both guys were very friendly and professional. It didn't take long to install and I know they probably had wiring issues to deal with. They did a great job and the cameras show exactly where I wanted them. I am very pleased with the service and products installed.
Thanks!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Cindy! We are so happy that you had a great experience with us and that you are pleased with the product. If either of those things ever change, please let us know!
