Intrusion System Testing

Does your system actually function correctly?

Intrusion systems can help you protect your assets, but only if it is operating properly. When was the last time you tested your intrusion system? Do you know if your system even works? Sure, it arms & disarms, but does it actually reach the monitoring company when a zone is activated?

A good practice to insure your system is working is for you to test your system on a regular basis. We program our customers’ monitored intrusion systems to send a test signal to the alarm monitoring company on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending on your needs. If a self test signal does not reach the monitoring company, we contact you to let you know. We can then dispatch a technician to remedy the malfunction before it’s too late.

Our ESP plans include an annual, on site, preventive maintenance inspection of your intrusion system that checks all zones, keypads & backup batteries along with verification of communication to the monitoring company. Contact your account representative today for an ESP quote or to schedule an inspection of your system.
