Alarm & Response Services
The vast majority of home alarms are useless.
An alarm system is no longer an effective deterrent to burglary. As more people have burglar alarms installed in their homes, the deterrent value of those systems decreases. Market saturation has significantly reduced the deterrent value that alarms once had.
So why have an alarm?
The most important reason for installing an alarm system is to generate an immediate response. That’s it. An alarm provides notification that something that requires immediate attention could be underway. It may be a burglary, flood, fire or medical emergency.
An alarm provides information that has an incredibly short shelf life. Without an immediate response, it doesn’t matter how much you spent on your alarm system. It’s just a loud noise. It’s certainly not worth paying a monthly fee for.
The Police are not coming.
The vast majority of all alarms are false. That’s why Police Departments all over North America have instituted verified response or non-response policies. In Vancouver, the average VPD response time to an unverified alarm is 2 hours and 6 minutes. In Whistler, the RCMP will not respond at all.
