WHAT IS A CENTRAL STATION AND WHY BE MONITORED?

What is a Central Station?

A Central Station is a facility that monitors security and other systems for specific situations, e.g., burglaries, robberies, fires and medical emergencies,

and then makes an appropriate response. The key components of a Central Station are the equipment used to communicate with the alarm systems, the computerized receiving equipment that logs and prioritizes calls for assistance, and the professionally trained staff that responds to each situation.

MONITORING

At Covan, we consider no security system truly complete unless it encompasses all elements of what we call "The Circle of Protection." The Circle includes three elements: the security system itself, the monitoring center and the responding authorities.

All of these elements are vitally important to ensure that, in an emergency, you receive the help you need.

All incoming calls to the Central Station are received by highly trained, proficient and tenured operators.
Our operators are courteous and professional and uphold our policy of a "Two-Ring Commitment", which
guarantees our customers an immediate response from a live operator.

We provide:

Intrusion and Hold-Up Monitoring
Two-Way Voice Monitoring
Video Monitoring
Fire Monitoring
Cellular/Radio Backup

Why Be Monitored?

It's a well-documented fact that alarm systems that are monitored by a qualified Central Station reduce crime. A recent study by researchers at Temple University found that homes with monitored alarm systems were 2.2 times less likely to be burglarized than homes without a system. Businesses with a monitored alarm system are 4.6 times less likely to be victimized. Our Central Station acts as your "silent guardian," safeguarding your monitored home and business 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

When we receive an intrusion or hold-up button alarm signal, we will immediately notify the police, a patrol service, or your authorized representative.

Your safety and security come first. Let us know how we can help protect your business and give you the
Peace of Mind you are looking for.
