From training to product testing, programming and beyond, central stations can play a key role in supporting security dealers’ PERS offerings.
As security dealers offer or consider offering personal emergency response systems (PERS), they shouldn’t overlook a potentially very helpful resource — their third-party central monitoring station. In addition to offering monitoring services tailored to PERS customers (see related sidebar, “PERS Monitoring Has Unique Requirements,” on page 70), wholesale central stations offer a wide range of PERS-related benefits — from training and conferences, to supplying and shipping PERS devices and more.
Selecting the right PERS device can be time consuming. But third-party central stations can help with that task.
