When the days grow longer and the weather warms up, many start planning for well-deserved time away. Whether it’s a weekend getaway, a family road trip, or an extended overseas adventure, summer is the season for travel and relaxation. But while you’re soaking up the sun, who’s watching over and caring for a home or business? We can help you with that.
Summer vacations commonly bring more break-ins, theft, and property damage. You know that old saying, “When the cat’s away, the mouse will play!” Well, not when one proactively approaches security and alarm monitoring systems.
That’s why central station alarm monitoring is more important than ever for summer and every season. Let’s look at how professionally installed central alarm monitoring provides peace of mind while you’re away and why securing a property with 24/7 protection is smart.
Why Summer Is A Higher Risk Time for Break-ins
It’s no secret that crime often increases during summer.
Crime can increase up to 35% during the summer.
In a 2014 study from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) on seasonal crime in the United States, researchers found that the increasing crimes in question were violent crimes and property crimes, which is what we are discussing here.
There’s simply more opportunity for unexpected things to go wrong. Empty homes become easy targets for burglars and vandalism. It’s also prime time for small fires or water leaks to become major disasters if left unattended.
Imagine being thousands of miles away on vacation and having no idea that an intruder has entered your home, your on-site alarm is ringing, or the fire alarm is going off in your lobby. What could happen could be devastating! Investing in alarm monitoring services means you no longer have to worry.
Central Monitoring: The Summer Security Solution
So what makes central station monitoring summer security go-to solution? It provides proper round-the-clock protection and peace of mind when you’re away.
Immediate Response to Emergencies
Every second counts if an intruder tries to break in or a fire starts. Alarm monitoring services from Quick Response provide a dedicated, professional team ready to act the second an alarm is triggered, regardless of time or season.
Summer brings more concerns than just break-ins and vandalism. Issues like power outages, HVAC failures, fires, and even flooding from summer storms can cause costly damage. When environmental monitoring is part of the alarm system, these problems are caught early, preventing major issues.
Peace of Mind When You Need It Most
You have to agree, there’s nothing quite like knowing that someone you can trust is keeping an eye on things while you’re away. With convenient mobile app integrations and remote access, you can get real-time updates, check on system status, and get alerts to any potential issues from anywhere in the world! We like to say that it’s about confidence, convenience, and calm, everything we want to feel while enjoying our vacation.
Alarm Monitoring Saves the Day: Real-Life Examples
- Vandalism or Break-in: You are away for the week, and someone tries to force entry. The alarm triggers, the signal is sent to the monitoring center, and local police are dispatched before the thief can do much damage. They can also evaluate if it is a false alarm. Cameras can record and capture the break-in in action and serve as evidence in legal proceedings.
- Warehouse fire: A minor electrical issue starts in a storage area. Heat sensors trip the fire alarm, which the central station notifies the fire department within seconds. Thanks to the central alarm and swift response, damage is minimized.
- Flooding after a storm: Heavy summer rains leak through the roof and begin to flood. A water sensor alerts the monitoring team, who contact a maintenance crew to intervene before any equipment is ruined.
