  • Going Cellular

    Going Cellular

    If you’re thinking about giving up your landline here are three great reasons why cellular monitoring on your alarm system is a good idea.

    1. Monitoring Not Interrupted

    If the phone line, or the phone service goes down the communication of your security system will be interrupted. With a cellular module added to your home alarm system we can continue our monitoring services without interruption.

    going wireless

    1. Your Landline can be Cut

    If a criminal knows you have an alarm system, they can cut your phone line and continue on with a robbery. Cellular modules, on the other hand, can never be cut: they operate wirelessly over a cellular network, which means your home is still protected even if an intruder cuts your phone line.

    Local-Monitoring

    1. You can get rid of your land line

    If you don’t use your landline anymore and are thinking about ditching it, your alarm monitoring can continue uninterrupted with a cellular module. It will transmit to our Central Station directly, without relying on another company’s service or an actual line coming off the pole and into your home.

  • Preventing Data Theft

    Preventing Data Theft

    Educate Employees

    Most employees don’t even realize that taking data is dangerous, let alone wrong. Educate your employees on how valuable data is as well as what constitutes data theft.

    Video Surveillance - Hosted Video

     

    Have Clear Policies

    Come up with a clear policy on data handling. Common issues include using personal smartphones to access private company data, emailing company information to or from a private email account or uploading it to the cloud.

    Strict Permissions

    Not all everyone need access to everything. By using strict permissions your data is only accessible by your most trusted employees and those who actually need the data.

    WirelessNetworksSecurity

    Monitor Activity

    Monitor employees for large amounts of data transfer, employees that access company data at odd hours. While having employees that are willing to burn the midnight oil is a great thing, it’s still a good idea to keep an eye open.

  • 6 Reasons To Consider Video Surveillance

    6 Reasons To Consider Video Surveillance

    1. Reduce/Prevent Theft

    Installing a video surveillance system can help prevent vandalism, theft and break ins. When security cameras are appropriately placed around your home or business, they can help deter potential burglars.

    1. Real Time Monitoring

    Real time video monitoring allows you monitor areas of your home or business from wherever you are through your smartphone, tablet or PC. Our Total Connect app makes it possible to have multiple sites on the same login.

    1. Improve Productivity

    Video cameras can improve worker productivity. Not only is communication between different sites and departments is improved, employees are more likely to work at their fullest potential when they know they are being monitored.

    Man Putting out Open Sign

    1. Resolve Disputes

    No matter what type of business you run, disputes are going to occur. A surveillance camera can provide clear proof about an entire incident.

    1. Provide Evidence

    A video surveillance system can offer submissable evidence for an investigation. If any type of criminal activity or suspicious activity in the vicinity, cameras can help identify the criminals.

    Video Verification

    1. Digital Storage

    With an IP camera you can store footage digitally on a hard drive, network server, or an NVR. Digital storage makes it easier to search for specific footage.

  • What Burglars Want You To Keep Doing

    What Burglars Want You To Keep Doing

    Are you leaving hints about what valuables you have when you’re not home?
    When it comes to protecting your home, there a few things to do that seem obvious: Locking your doors when you leave, setting your security system at night. But there are some things that burglars with even the lowest IQ’s just don’t want you figure out.

    visitor management

    1. Let them in

    Letting delivery men into your home for deliveries usually isn’t necessary. Criminals sometimes moonlight as robbers after scoping out your home. This may not be the case most of the time, but if you must let them in, demand to see ID.

     

    1. Let then use the bathroom

    If a service worker you don’t know asks to use your bathroom, it’s best to learn to say no. Its very easy to unlock your window to get in later.

     

    1. Only lock the front door

    Your back door, second story windows, and window above the kitchen sink are all practical openings into your home. Protect them, too.

     

    1. Leave your alarm system in plain sight

    When installing your alarms, make sure the keypad or control box can’t be seen from the outside. You don’t want burglars to see if you’ve forgotten to arm it.

     

    1. Answer the door for strangers

    When a stranger knocks asking for directions, they could be testing your vulnerability or scoping out your home. It’s not a crime to ignore your doorbell.

     

    1. Use a front porch flowerpot

    Burglars of all I.Q. levels will know to look under doormats, flowerpots, garden pebbles, and so on for a house key. Leave your spare with a trusted neighbor or friend.

    1. Leave out your kids’ toys

    That shiny new bike you saved up to buy for your kid’s birthday could lure burglars to your house, because it indicates more shiny things inside.

     

    1. Reveal your new purchases

    When you purchase new electronics or high ticket items, make sure the packaging isn’t proudly displayed on the curb. Let your friends or neighbors know your got a new Smart TV, not burglars.

     

    1. Brag about vacation

    Don’t let everyone on social media know that you’re taking an extravagant tropical vacation for three very long weeks. You don’t know who’s looking, so just post some #tbt photos when you’re back home instead.

     

    1. Open the shades

    Sunset are beautiful, but when it starts to get dark outside and all your lights are on, burglars can scope out your most valuable items.

     

    1. Leave out your ladders and tools

    Even if you’re going to be back out in the yard early in the morning, put your tools away. Don’t make it easy for burglars to break in with own tools.

  • Don’t Ignore Trouble Lights
