Security Monitoring for Your Home

• Benefits of Home Monitoring

  Once FSS Technologies has designed and installed your custom security system to fit your home’s needs, the next question to ask yourself is whether or not you should get home monitoring.
  
  While having a security system is better than not having any protection at all, without a security monitoring process in place, you will only receive security warning notifications from your security system’s app. This can be effective in low risk situations. Unfortunately, for most security warnings, homeowners want immediate and obvious notifications. Using your in-app notifications may cause a delay in your ability to contact authorities.
  
  Understanding the benefits of home monitoring begins with understanding how alarm monitoring works.
  
  With home monitoring, a team of highly trained technicians at a central monitoring station are notified when an alarm is triggered. These professionals follow the proper steps based on your needs and system requirements.
  
  Not only does home alarm monitoring help keep you, your family, and your belongings safe, but it also keeps your pets safe while you’re away from the house.

• What Will My Monitoring Service Include?

  Your property will be monitored 24/7 by a team of professionals who will take the appropriate steps if your alarm is triggered to ensure the safety of you, your family, pets, and belongings.
  
  FSS also offers monitoring of standalone, in-home, and independent medical alert devices, which makes home monitoring essential for your elderly loved ones.

• What Happens When My Alarm is Triggered?

  Once monitoring professionals have been alerted, the next steps are customizable to your needs.
  It may seem that the obvious answer would be to contact the authorities; however, in some cities, you may be fined for sending police out if it’s only a false alarm. To avoid this, you can set up a call list, to include yourself and three other people. If no one on the call list answers, then the police are notified immediately.
  
  How and in what order you and emergency response personnel get contacted is entirely up to you.
