I feel safe in my home right now. Why do I need an alarm system?
Statistically today, most burglaries occur during business hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). You may feel safe while you're at home, but a security system will protect your home when you can't be there. Burglar and fire alarm systems are designed to give you peace of mind whether you are at home or away. When connected to a Central Monitoring Station, a homeowner can guard against intruders, fire, high or low temperature, gas leaks, water leaks and medical emergency.
What can I do to protect myself from people who want to break into my home?
A good place to start is with a Security Survey of your home. At no cost, an experienced Security Team Consultant will come to your home and evaluate your security concerns. The Consultant will assess your property and provide you with suggestions for immediately improving your security. He will also do a comprehensive evaluation of your home and design a security and fire system that addresses your needs and concerns.
I'm afraid I can't afford one. How much does a system cost?
Since every system is individually designed, it is difficult to say. However, with Security Team, you can start with a simple basic system that will grow as your family needs grow. Just talk to us about your budget and the Security Team Consultant will discuss the different ways to tailor systems to meet your needs.
Some national alarm companies will quote prices over the phone. But, keep in mind, they only sell their own equipment and you will be locked into high monthly monitoring contracts for years. Security Team uses state of the art equipment to fit your needs and a UL listed 24-hour, New England based Central Monitoring Station with some of the lowest fees in the industry.
Security Team proudly offers military, fire, police and senior citizen discounts. Security Team also provides discounts for repeat customers. Please call for more information.
Security Team accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, check and cash.
What about the monthly fee - how does that work?
Central Station Monitoring for residential customers can start as low as $17 per month for monitoring of burglary, fire, panic, medical emergency, high/low temperature, high/low water, power failure and low battery. It is your choice to be invoiced quarterly or annually for the service.
For commercial customers, Central Station Monitoring can start as low as $21 per month.
I'm a little worried about having a system, is it hard to use?
Our systems are very user friendly, they can be armed with the push of one button and disarmed with a four digit code. Some systems can be armed and disarmed with a remote that fits on your key chain. The manufacturers keep your entire family in mind when they design them so your school aged children should have no trouble operating the system, too.
Will I be able to walk around the house when the system is armed?
There is no reason to feel like a prisoner in your own home. Most systems can be armed in the “home” mode so you can walk around inside without worrying about causing an activation.
I just bought a new house and it already has an alarm. Can you monitor it for me?
The answer is YES. In most cases, the panel can just be reprogrammed. Other times, we may need to make some equipment adjustments.
I am selling my house, can I take the system with me?
Typically, once a system is installed, it becomes part of the real estate. Security Team recommends you discuss this with your real estate agent first.
Does Security Team work with businesses?
YES! Over 40% of Security Team customers are businesses. In our 25 years in business, we have developed business relationships with many family-owned small businesses, home based business, restaurants, condominium developments, chain stores, large corporations, warehouses, government facilities and factories. Security Team is proud to have helped prevent and minimize break-ins, armed robberies, fires, employee thefts, employee workers' compensation fraudulent claims, customer thefts, customer fraud, customer law suits, vandalism and parking lot crime.
Why would I choose a smaller, local company instead of a larger national company?
Service, Service, Service and reasonable monitoring costs.
Why do you recommend protecting windows rather than using only motion detectors?
The goal is to keep the intruder outside the home.
Which windows do you recommend we protect?
Any window that is ground level or accessible by a roof or deck.
Can your system call the police if my phone line is cut?
Yes, we have technology available to overcome that, call us and ask for specifics.Yes, we have technology available to overcome that, call us and ask for specifics.
