Monitoring

How Does It Work?

Your alarm system is connected to your existing telephone service. When your alarm is activated, the alarm panel automatically seizes the telephone line. This is a an added precaution that Prime Security Systems installs on every monitored alarm system. If you are on the phone, have the phone off the hook, your alarm signal will still go through to EMERgency 24 – our central station monitoring company. EMERgency 24′s computers receive your alarm signal through the toll-free number we have programmed into your system. The central station receives the signal and their computers dial the numbers you have requested.

 

What Can We Do For You?

We can call to verify your alarm signal or, if you prefer, we can call the authorities first. Then our monitor calls your designated contacts until we reach someone. If an intruder forces you to call and cancel an alarm, use your stress code instead of your pass code. Our operators will tell you the alarm is canceled, then call the police and inform them of a stress situation. Only your pass code will cancel the calling sequence. Along with burglary, panic, hold-up, and fire alarms, we can monitor for medical emergencies, furnace failure, water detection and even page you if you have an alarm signal.

In independent surveys conducted by a leading security industry trade publication, EMERgency 24 is consistently rated as the most preferred monitoring company, by more security professionals, when ranked with all other alarm monitoring companies in the country. EMERgency 24 monitors more alarm systems, in more states, than any other alarm monitoring company servicing independent security companies.

What if…?

During adverse weather or catastrophic conditions, your alarm signal can be rerouted to monitors to another EMERgency 24 facility. No other nationwide monitoring company has this capability. If your telephone line is cut, our alarm systems will sound an audible alarm. Prime Security Systems, Inc. along with EMERgency 24 also offers cellular backup to your digital alarm monitoring.
