WE WATCH OVER YOU DAY AND NIGHT

Over the past 5 years, Protectron has invested several million dollars in a fail-safe technology infrastructure. Protectron boasts a national network of four remote monitoring centers that use the same operating software and are linked by a fiber optic network. Each center can act as a backup in the event of a disaster elsewhere (ice storm, flooding, major power outages, etc.)—guaranteeing uninterrupted service at all times.

Certified by Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada, our remote monitoring centers  are unquestionably among the most effective security facilities in North America. No matter what the circumstance, one of these high tech fiber-optic-equipped centers is always standing by to ensure your protection 24 hours a day. In case of need, you will be contacted immediately by an operator specialized in the specific procedures of your sector (residential, commercial, industrial, or institutional) and who can help you in your own language. No other remote monitoring network in Canada can offer such peace of mind! Not all remote monitoring centers are equal. Protectron constantly invests to improve its service.

ULC-certification means that Protectron remote monitoring centers meet all Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada standards.

Facilities, Installation Standards, and Service—Protectron Puts Quality First

Of course, quality service demands top-notch operator training. All employees dealing with customers are required to have an in-depth understanding of the operating software and procedures. Each undergoes technical training to learn how to provide customers with clear instructions on how to arm and disarm their systems. All new employees are paired up with a mentor until they can work independently. It’s not just a matter of customer service, but your security as well. An alarm is not to be taken lightly. A person’s life may be in danger.

Personalized Service and Fast Response (the invisible, but vital component of your system!)

When your security system is triggered, every second counts. The remote monitoring center identifies the source of the problem and quickly sends you the help you need (police, fire department, or emergency response).


Responding to an Alarm

Here’s how we respond to an alarm:

  • Your security system emits an alarm signal.
    Our remote monitoring center is alerted the moment your alarm is triggered and our operators intervene immediately.
  • Our team of operators receives the signal.
    Our computer systems gives us the precise location where the alarm was triggered. We follow the response instructions in your personal identification file.
  • An operator will either contact you or the appropriate response service, or both. The operator will call you to confirm the situation and process the call according to the instructions you previously provided.
How to Avoid False Alarms
  • Be sure your doors and windows are tightly shut before you leave home.
  • Everyone who has access to the property when the system is armed must have a password and be familiar with the alarm procedure.
  • If you have a pet, be sure your security system is capable of distinguishing it from a possible intruder.

Caution: Customers are responsible for false alarms, and in a number of municipalities the police may charge a fee for coming to your premises. So be careful and make sure you thoroughly understand how to operate your security system. Consult the User’s Manual or contact our customer service.
