Burglar alarm systems misconceptions
You may be asking yourself a ton of questions about burglar alarm systems. Are they for me? Can I afford one? Are they difficult to use and install? Let's run through the myths of burglar alarm systems and try to put your concerns to rest:
Myth #1: They're too expensive. Choosing CTS, a burglar alarm system for businesses or residences are quite affordable - a small business or home can get a basic system for a few hundred dollars. We provide the equipment and installation for a modest fee and a low monthly monitoring rate.
Myth #2: There's no value to my bottom line. Yes you may never need it, but the small total cost will pale in comparison to the losses you could realize without protection - your equipment, merchandise, customer information, operation uptime, and even employee confidence that you run a safe work environment. Or with your home, the damages that could be prevented when they are deterred from your residence - fire, water, vandalism.
Myth #3: They're too hard to use. Operating a burglar alarm system can be as simple as memorizing a few numbers that make up your passcode.
Myth #4: I don't have time to train employees. It typically takes under an hour to explain and demonstrate how burglar alarm systems work. CTS's Licensed and Trained staff will make sure you're comfortable with your system before they sign off on the installation~
Myth #5: The system won't work if my phone lines are cut or I lose power. CTS offers burglar alarm systems that are equipped with sophisticated battery and/or cellular backup systems that kick in right away should your power or phone connection fail.
Myth #6: False alarms will have us "crying wolf." CTS's burglar alarm systems allow you to cancel alarms yourself. There are also audible delay features to give authorized personnel time to prove to the monitoring station that they belong there.
Myth #7: They take too long to install. A burglar alarm system for a small-to-medium sized business can be installed in 4-8 hours. CTS can have your alarm up and running and your staff trained within a single workday.
Myth #8: I don't need one; I have insurance. Insurance exists to replace lost, stolen, or damaged property. But it can't replace the losses your company experiences due to downtime. What happens if an intruder rips up your phone system or smashes your servers? How about if they steal confidential information about your customers or partners? Insurance won't reimburse you for business lost or the fear your customers experience from having their identity tampered with.
Myth #9: I live in a gated community so I don't have need of one. How much does the gate guard have invested to protect your home that is not in his direct line of site? Do you know how easy it is to get into a gated community - most communities are in a constant state of construction...meaning workers come and go all day making it easy to get relaxed with seeing them that they do not stand out. A burglar is not going to look like the cartoon with a black and white shirt so we recognize him/her. Even with a security patrol for hire they are not focused only on your home they patrol the entire community leaving your home unprotected for periods of time. With a monitored security system your home is being protected 24/7 - with no restroom breaks.
With a monitored burglar alarm system installed, your business benefits are two-fold - you prevent people from breaking in and stealing or damaging your merchandise, equipment and information, and you also maintain your ability to keep your business running.
