FINANCIAL INSTITUTION SECURITY ALARM MONITORING
Allied Fire & Security provides banks, credit unions and other financial institutions with security and fire alarm monitoring services. Since banks and credit unions are prime targets for internal and external theft, you need a solution that will protect your financial institution day or night. Our highly skilled and trained monitoring center professionals are ready to deliver a fast emergency response within minutes of an incoming alarm call.
Not only can Allied monitor new security alarm systems for banks or credit unions, but we can also monitor and convert your existing system even if we were not the original installer. We have been monitoring financial institutions in the Pacific Northwest since 1980.
WHY HAVE A MONITORED ALARM SYSTEM?
1. Protection of your business, assets and employees 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
2. Obtain optional monitoring reports that tell you.
- When the alarm is armed/disarmed.
- Who armed/disarmed the system.
- If someone forgot to arm/disarm the system when the business is supposed to be open or closed.
3. You can add fire alarm components to your security system so it becomes both a burglary and fire detection system. Monitoring for both fire and burglary means complete protection of your business.
YOU DON’T NEED A REGULAR PHONE LINE TO BE PROTECTED!
If you no longer use a land-line phone, your alarm can still be programmed to communicate both fire and security signals to the monitoring center. Allied uses a special cellular backup device that securely communicates between your alarm and the monitoring center. These devices can be installed when you first install your new security system – or at a later date.
Even if you do have a regular land line phone, installing a cellular backup communicator is a great security feature for extra protection in the event of a power failure or a cut phone line. In today’s world you can get your business phone line from a number of different sources. Each one has its own shortfalls when it comes to security, and a cellular backup can help ensure your alarm signal gets to the central station in the event of a phone line failure.
