At American Burglary & Fire, Inc., we know that 24 hour monitoring is an essential part of a security system. It is the critical link between our customers and our Central Monitoring Office. When an alarm status reaches our Monitoring Office, our trained operators immediately notify the police or fire department of the alarm situation.
Without monitoring, you are dependent upon a neighbor or passerby to inform police or fire officials if an emergency situation occurs. Despite the image that burglaries are committed in the evening, the truth is that a majority of burglaries occur during the daytime when home owners are away at work. Who will be around when your alarm sounds? Like car alarms, burglary or fire alarms can be easily ignored. Critical time will be lost, and precious possessions can be stolen from our home.
Our UL listed Central Monitoring Center is located here in the St. Louis, Missouri area. Our operators work closely with local jurisdictions, which enables us to provide quick notification of fires and burglaries.
If you are reviewing other alarm companies, be sure to find out where you will be monitored from - in or out of state, or even by a third party. A third party Monitoring Center is one that monitors for many alarm companies that do not have their own monitoring center. This situation can result in poor customer service due to their limited knowledge of your particular system, and often no verification of alarm signals to prevent false alarms.
At ABF, we feel it is important to be installed, serviced and monitored by the same company in order to provide quality protection. We have operated our own UL listed Monitoring Center since 1976 - over 25 years of monitoring experience.
