Commercial and Residential Security Systems are more than just burglar alarms. They can be set to monitor doors and windows, but they can also detect smoke, heat, carbon monoxide, freezing temperatures, and rising water.
At Stage International, we use Digital Security Controls (DSC) equipment which includes alarm verification technology that greatly reduces the chance of false alarms. Before authorities are dispatched, operators use audio verification to be in voice contact at the alarm location. If the alarm is accidental, the user can cancel the alarm by providing an authorized user code. In addition, the DSC system offers five one-touch function keys with one word commands. So at the push of a button, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your home or business is protected.
The DSC system has the capability to protect two separate areas of your home or business at the same time. It is actually two systems in one. Additional features include an intercom so you can communicate with visitors at your door without having to open it. Motion and glass break detectors will indicate if there is movement or if a window has been broken in your home or business. In the event of a fire, smoke alarms will cause the system to dispatch immediately. So a monitored system provides automatic notification to authorities in the event of intrusion or fire whether the premises are occupied or not.
A wireless key can be used to arm or disarm your system. In the case of an emergency, the wireless key also has a panic button that will alert the central station monitoring immediately. An optional escort module will let you know if your system is armed or if there have been any alarms while you were out. So you can go on vacation or a business trip with complete peace of mind.
It has been our experience that businesses without alarm systems are burglarized at least four times more than those with an alarm system. In residential areas, homes without alarm systems are burglarized at least two times more than those with alarm systems. In addition, audible alarms account for at least 75% of all uncompleted burglaries. Your insurance company may also offer a discount on your insurance policy when a security system is installed and monitored by a central station.
