Five Tips for Becoming a Demanding Customer
-
Have some idea of what kind of intrusion or fire
detection you want for your home or business. If you
turn all decisions over to the dealer - whose input
should be extensive but not overbearing - your
system will reflect the dealer's preference rather
than yours.
-
Talk with friends, relatives and business colleagues
who already have a security system and know the ins
and outs of the process.
-
Don't be afraid to express high expectations. A good
security professional will spend time listening to
your concerns - large or small. If they just come
in, count doors and windows and give you a price,
they're not interested in your safety.
-
Ask questions and expect answers. It's all right if
the salesperson doesn't have the answer right away.
But you should expect to get answers back in a
reasonable time.
-
Listen for clear statements about what the company
can and cannot do. A reputable dealer will be
candid, explaining how your demands will affect the
installation's design and cost. When you're clear
about what you want, the dealer will be clear about
costs.

Police chiefs throughout the country say
that a home with a security system provides a
significant deterrent to intruders. Studies have
shown that homes without a security system have
a significant higher break-in rate than homes
that are protected.
While most American homes have items of value to
thieves, only about 30% of all private homes
have a security system. Most customers call for
systems after they've been burglarized.

Security Tips:
What to Do if You Have a False Alarm
|
|
A false alarm can be a source of panic for
anybody, but what happens after the system goes
off, doesn't have to be alarming. Follow these
guidelines for panic-free false alarms:
-
Remain calm so you can remember your access
code and personal identification code.
-
Disarm your system, being careful to press
each number of your access code slowly and
deliberately.
-
Once you have reset the system, have your
personal identification code ready. Call the
monitoring company to report the accidental
activation.
-
If you find the phone has disconnected, wait
a few seconds and try again. Your alarm
system has temporarily turned off the phone
while it is calling the monitoring company.
It will release the lines when its call
cycle is complete. Continue to call until
you have reached the monitoring company.
-
Remain at your home or business until you
have spoken with the monitoring company.
Take the "panic" out of false alarms by
preparing ahead of time:
-
Rehearse emergency drills with everyone in
your home or commercial building.
-
Make sure all persons with a key know how to
operate your system and how to cancel an
accidental alarm.
-
Inform all users of who to call in the event
of an alarm and to have their personal
identification code ready.
-
Keep your security system instruction book
and the phone number for the monitoring
company handy.
-
Immediately cancel all alarms not requiring
emergency response.
