Three Times to Arm Your System

Ever have that dream where you need help and try to scream but no one can hear you? It’s a frightening dream to have, but it can be a reality. You have an alarm system to do the notification for you during emergencies. If you fail to arm your system regularly, you’re not fully protecting yourself.

There are three times that you should be sure to arm your alarm system:

  • In the morning before you leave for the day. You should arm your alarm system in “away mode” whenever you leave your house. If you stay home during the day, be sure your alarm system is in “stay mode” in the morning.
  • When you return home. Just after you come in the door, arm it.
  • Before bed. Your alarm system should already be alarmed in “stay mode,” but why not take the opportunity to be sure that the system is armed?

If you follow a routine, you can be sure that you are getting the most protection from us and your alarm system. Monitronics cares about your safety. To talk to one of us about getting an alarm system for your home, call 800-290-0709.

Everyday Superhero: Chris Tuttle

In the middle of the night, Monitronics Emergency Dispatch Operator Chris Tuttle received a burglar alarm from a retail store in Arizona. Chris made a call to the business but couldn’t get an answer or a voicemail.

He called the local PD and they were on their way to the business in no time.

After the emergency

The officers showed up to find two burglars in the act. They were quickly arrested and off to jail they went.

Everybody knows–nobody messes with Monitronics customers.

Why Get an Alarm Permit?

You know how you get that all-of-a-sudden-out-of-nowhere strike of knowledge. Yeah, I was there today. I was standing in line at the DMV today waiting to get my car registered. There was a moment, in the hot, grump-filled office, in which I made the connection between car registration and alarm permit registration.

You see, while the time and money that it takes to register a car is somewhat painful—especially since all we walk away with is a measly sticker—we do it. We do it because it is the law, and because there are consequences for not obeying the law. Alarm permit and vehicle registration are equally important and should be treated as such. Some of the consequences of not registering your alarm permit can include:

Fines and citations. Those who do not register their alarm permit can be charged considerable fines. And sometimes the fines increase for each alarm occurrence. The fee to register your alarm is usually reasonable and much more worth it than paying fines when emergency agencies are dispatched to your home.

No police response. Some agencies refuse to respond to alarms in cases where the permit registration has not been complete. Without an alarm permit in this case, you won’t get the help you need when you need it.

Now, I must say, not all of us are required to get an alarm permit. So, how do you know if you need one, you ask? It’s simple. Contact your alarm monitoring company, call your city, check your city’s website, or contact your local police department.

Just like it is your responsibility to keep your car registration up-to-date, it is up to you to determine and register an alarm permit if one is required.

MyMonitronics Account Simplifies, Streamlines

Lately, we’ve gotten several questions about MyMonitroncs, so we thought we’d explain this great feature on our website and show you the benefits.

MyMonitronics allows Monitronics customers to manage their security account online. Pay your bill? Yep. Change your password? Check. All without calling and at anytime. With your MyMonitronics account, you can:

* Print out an monitored alarm insurance discount certificate

* Download your user manual

* Manage your emergency contacts. You can even send an e-mail to your contacts informing them they’ve been added to your contact list.

* Update your billing address

* Test your alarm system

* Change your passcode
