I’m surprised by the number of clients that are hanging on to old telephone technology. I still see over 25% of clients that haven’t moved to cellular service for their alarm reporting. Here are the reasons why you should change over NOW. Don’t wait till they are gone!
- With regular phone lines, a $5 set of wire cutters renders your alarm inoperative. It’s typically only $10 per month to add cellular service to your alarm.
- Faster service. It takes almost 30 seconds to send through a dialup signal. reduce that by 70% by adding cellular service to your alarm.
- More pathways to your monitoring center. Instead of a single pair of wires, your cellular alarm dialer may touch three or more cell towers.
- Utilize the tech that’s out there; with cellular alarm service you can also arm \ disarm and check your systems status via a phone app.
- It can remind you if no one is at home and your alarm isn’t set.
- You can control lights, locks, let the plumber in remotely.
- Your alarm company can remotely provide some service levels via phone eliminating the cost of a truck roll and saving you time.
- Some digital phone services such as Comcast and AT&T Uverse don’t always transmit alarm signals properly – it could cause your alarm to fail.
- Digital carriers also don’t typically work if the power is off, leaving you unprotected.
Most alarm companies run deep discounts for cellular installation making it very affordable to activate.
