U.L. Station 24-Hour
Monitoring
Our monitoring service provider
has a local receiving station (located in Fremont) as well as redundant
equipment in Southern California.
|
What is monitoring?
Alarms have
the ability to send communication signals via radio or over phone lines.
When these signals are directed to a monitoring facility, live operators
are notified in the case of an alarm condition. The operators then make
phone calls to notify police or fire agencies.

Have you been sold
out?
Many burglar alarm companies sell
alarms for less than their actual cost of materials and installation labor,
intending to make their profit entirely on a mandatory monitoring agreement.
They then "sell" their monitoring accounts to a different provider.
Some
things to consider when purchasing an alarm system:
- At Reed Brothers
Security, our monitoring customers have never been sold to an outside
provider.
- Monitoring is OPTIONAL. We gladly install
alarm systems that ring an exterior bell or siren and do not send signals to
a monitoring station.
- We install non-proprietary systems. Some
companies install alarm systems with proprietary technology, meaning you are
locked in and only your installing company can service your system or
provide monitoring. At Reed Brothers Security, customers stay with us by
choice.
