One System for Intrusion, Fire, and Panic

We combine intrusion detection, commercial fire monitoring, and panic or duress buttons on one panel that reports to the same 24/7 central station.

You have one agreement, one call list to keep current, and one team to call when something needs attention.

Protecting Your Staff

Panic and duress buttons give staff a silent way to call for help from a register, reception desk, or back office. Employees who open, close, or work alone can carry a lone-worker device that sends an alert with one press.

We’ll help you decide where buttons go and who should carry a device, based on how your team works.

Know When You Open and Close

Opening and closing reports show when the system was armed and disarmed, and with which user code. Owners with more than one location, or with staff on early and late shifts, use them to confirm the building was secured each night.

Built Around Your Business

A dental office, a liquor store, and a contractor’s yard need different systems. After a no-cost, no-obligation on-site evaluation, we put your plan together from the systems we build from: intrusion, fire, access control, video, and lone-worker alarms.

24/7 Monitoring from a UL Listed Central Station

Your business reports to a UL Listed, TMA Five Diamond certified central station staffed around the clock, with redundant centers in Florida, New Jersey, and California. When a sensor triggers, a trained operator reviews the alert, works through your account’s call list, and dispatches police or fire when the event is confirmed or no one can be reached.
