Tips for Creating & Maintaining a Successful Monitoring Center

Aventura, a video surveillance company out of New York, has been lying to the U.S Government for the last decade. They have been importing unregulated security cameras from China and selling them to the government as “made in America”. This is an issue because the cameras are known to be notorious for cyber-attacks.

Another one of the charges? The owner was using his wife as the face of the company, which meant that they could secure multi-million dollar government contracts allotted for women business owners.

Is Security Alarm Monitoring Worth The Investment

Is it worth it to invest in a monitored security system? The price can vary depending on if you plan to install the system yourself or DIY it for your home or small business. However, you save some on the monitoring, as this cost only ranges from 15 to 50 dollars per month.

Overall, statistics show that this is a small amount to protect your home and business. A study has shown that 83% of burglars checked for a security system in place, and 60% of burglars wouldn’t attempt a break-in if it did.

It’s hard to put a price on peace of mind, but if you did, it would be the cost of a security system and a low monthly payment for security monitoring.

Tips for Creating & Maintaining a Successful Monitoring Center

So you’re up for the challenge and want to create your own call monitoring business. Well here are some helpful bits of advice to start you off.

First, determine what alarm industry your services will support, whether it’s fire, PERS, security, or IoT.

Next, when selecting a location, make sure it meets the UL criteria with a secured power room, fireproof walls, and a back up electrical service.

After that, the next step is to get commercial insurance to protect you and your business. Now it’s time to go after your UL certification, to let your consumers know that your business is legitimate, open and followed the proper steps.
