Residential Security System Monitoring
24/7 Home Security Monitoring
Sentry Installation, Inc. has the ability to offer your family Central Station Home Monitoring. Central Station Home Monitoring adds an important safety component to your residential security system. Our security technicians offer home secuirty monitioring to the Washington DC Metropolitan areas in addition to residents in Northern Virginia and Prince George’s County and Montgomery Count in Maryland.
While a security alarm system itself is an excellent theft deterrent, a home with a monitored security system is 15 times less likely to be burglarized than a home without one. Only with a home monitoring system can you summon help by pressing emergency panic buttons linked to your security alarm system. Your First Alert Professional / Honeywell home security system can also allow you to summon help discreetly should an intruder “ambush” you and force you to turn off the security system.
What is Central Station Home Monitoring?
When your First Alert Professional / Honeywell home security system detects a burglar, fire, or other emergency, it can automatically transmit a message to Sentry’s central home monitoring facility where trained personnel respond immediately. In most cases, they will attempt to verify the home safety threat and then contact the police department, fire department or medical emergency service.
Security verification is important. It prevents having the police, fire or rescue service come to your home when there is no need. Through verification, these important safety resources are only deployed if you need them. Verification keeps those important resources available to people who might really need them.
Whether you are home or away, a central station home monitoring system will keep your family, home and possessions safe – 24 hours a day, every day.
The Central Home Monitoring Facility
Your First Alert Professional / Honeywell security alarm system will be monitored by a highly sophisticated facility, or “central station” staffed with skilled operators who know exactly how to respond to alarm messages from your home security system.
Alarm messages are immediately displayed for operators who can instantly access information about your home and security system, and then verify the alarm. If necessary, an operator will summon the appropriate emergency personnel to your home to assist you. The central home monitoring facility is staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year – insuring your family and home always have maximum security protection.
