CENTRAL STATION SERVICES

Accurately dispatching alarms is, beyond a doubt, the most critical service a central station provides. After that, the service providing the most value for my company and customers is:

Giving my customers high-quality customer service when they call.

Helping technicians troubleshoot signal transmission issues when setting up accounts.

Providing back office support (database improvements, reports, e-mail/fax alerts, answering billing questions, etc.)

Pushing notifications to customers, such as notifications for signals such as low battery and trouble, service calls, etc.

Offering new managed services (video, access, etc.)
