Case Study
Real Project: Retail Chain — 4 NH Locations
Project Overview
A retail chain with 4 New Hampshire locations needed a standardized intrusion alarm system after a break-in at one store exposed gaps in their old system. Motion sensors had dead zones, the monitoring contract was overpriced, and each store had different keypad codes.
Scope
Installed dual-tech motion sensors eliminating dead zones at all 4 locations; Standardized alarm panels with centralized remote management; Cut monitoring costs 40% while upgrading to UL-listed central station with video verification

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do you prevent false alarms?
False alarms are almost always caused by poor sensor placement or single-technology detectors. We use dual-tech motion sensors (PIR + microwave) that require both technologies to trigger before alarming — eliminating false trips from HVAC drafts, animals, or temperature changes. We also configure entry/exit delays appropriately for each door.
2. What happens when the alarm goes off?
When a sensor triggers, the alarm panel immediately transmits a signal to our UL-listed central monitoring station. The operator follows a custom call list — typically calling the premises first to verify, then dispatching police if no authorized person responds. Video-verified alarms receive priority police response in most NH jurisdictions.
3. Can I arm/disarm from my phone?
Yes. Modern alarm panels support mobile app control — arm, disarm, check zone status, and receive push notifications for any alarm event. You can also set automated schedules and grant temporary codes to contractors or cleaning staff with time-restricted access.
4. Wired vs wireless sensors — which is better?
Wired sensors are more reliable and never need battery changes — we use them whenever possible, especially in new construction. Wireless sensors are ideal for existing buildings where running wire is difficult. Modern wireless sensors have 5-8 year battery life and encrypted signals. We recommend a hybrid approach: wire where practical, wireless where it avoids wall damage.
5. Do you offer monitoring without a long-term contract?
Yes. We offer month-to-month monitoring agreements with no long-term lock-in. If we are not earning your business every month, you should be free to leave. Our monitoring rates are competitive because we own the relationship — no third-party dealer markups.
