Threats to our client’s businesses and properties are increasing year after year. Whether it is theft, fire, flood, or other emergency, they risk losing their inventory or the entire business if they still rely on an outdated local security system.
One of the best ways we can help them protect their investment is by encouraging them to update their security and alarm systems. The answer is crystal clear when they understand the benefits of central monitoring over local systems. They need to seriously focus on improving their systems. Take a look at why modern security demands an upgrade.
What is a Central Monitoring System?
Central monitoring systems offer much more coverage than local alarms since they are professionally installed and monitored 24/7. When something happens and an alarm is triggered, the signal immediately goes to the monitoring station, where security personnel will notify emergency services and/or law enforcement.
This includes during business hours when people are onsite and after hours when no one is there. This service provides peace of mind for the owner, and immediate action will be taken.
Central Monitoring Benefits Over Local Systems
It’s important to make sure your clients understand local vs. central monitoring. Here’s a quick comparison between local and central security systems:
- Local systems are typically installed by the business owner, and central station systems are professionally installed. Professional installation by trained experts guarantees the system is properly set up, configured, and tested for reliability.
- Local alarm systems don’t have remote capabilities, while central systems will notify your client’s phone and go directly to a central monitoring station.
- Local alarm systems aren’t usually “smart systems,” while modern central systems offer “smart” features.
- Some local alarm systems aren’t easily customized, while modern central monitoring systems offer various customization options.
- The business owner must monitor local alarm systems, while modern central systems feature 24/7 around-the-clock coverage.
What Types of Clients Benefit From Central Monitoring?
The great thing about central monitoring systems is that every home or business can benefit from the superior security central systems provide. All they need is a wireless internet or cellular connection.
Building owners, businesses of every size and type, warehouses, medical facilities, schools, and government buildings can all benefit. The bottom line is that anyone who needs to protect their investments, property, employees, and brand needs the superior protection that central monitoring services provide.
Comparing Local and Central Monitoring
Your clients are likely looking for ways to reduce costs while receiving quality services and performance. Business owners are experiencing higher labor and maintenance costs for every aspect of their business.
This is where partnering with a third party like Quick Response for professional security monitoring can save them time and money. It is also a sign to employees, customers, and competitors that you are serious about protecting your investments and providing a safe and secure environment. Quick Response will ensure that they always get the highest level of industry-leading service at the best cost.
More Reasons Why Modern Security Demands an Upgrade
Your clients should consider you a partner, an extension of their brand. Share more reasons they should upgrade their systems that they might not have thought about or overlooked as a priority for their business.
- A professionally installed alarm system gives them a team of trained professionals who are ready to take immediate action when an alarm is triggered. This team knows and understands various protocols to alert for emergency assistance and minimize damage and risk.
- A central alarm system works for your client 24/7, so whether your client is on-site or away, there is always someone monitoring the system in the event of an emergency or incident.
- Thieves and criminals are aware of and target businesses that don’t have security cameras and other alarms. When a professionally installed system is front and center, your client’s business is not appealing to them.
Plus, if they target their business, video footage assists in finding the guilty parties and provides evidence for pressing charges.
- One central alarm system is your clients’ one-stop protection for their entire property. They no longer have to have multiple alarm systems for different emergencies, such as fire, theft, and other potential emergencies.
- Insurance companies favor businesses with central security systems and could offer premium discounts, an added and appreciated bonus.
