Our alarm systems are able to be programmed to be monitored at a monitoring station, have texts sent to your phone or a simple noise maker at your site. There is no discernible difference upon a brief inspection of the system, however thieves and vandals have been known to set an alarm off and watch to see if any activity results from the alarm. We can discuss the pros and cons of all options to find what will work for you. If you aren’t going to have your system monitored, please check that a monitored alarm isn’t a requirement of your insurance policy.
