What Alarm System is Right for You?

We try our best to find the perfect solution for you. These days alarm systems are not just for making loud noises and assuring that the things you care most about are safe--these days alarms can help you assure that your store opened and closed when it was supposed to--that your teenage daughter came home when she said she did--they are tools that enhance your feelings of security. Piece of mind is something that we help provide, and we're happy to do it!

Did you know that you don't need a land line to have an alarm system?

Olympia Systems offers a means to monitor your alarm system using cellular technologies, so you do not need to worry about incurring the extra cost of a land line. As the cost of parts and monitoring this sort of signal is a little higher--we charge usually $5-7 more for this sort of system. We can also custom design and install an alarm using most voice over IP (VoIP) technologies.

 

Monitored vs Self-Monitored

Olympia Systems, Inc offers both monitored and self-monitored alarm systems installations available in our Olympia, WA and Portland, OR offices. A trend that unfortunately is growing in the security industry is that there are many small companies offering monitoring services, never informing their clients of all the options, such as self-monitored units. These sorts of companies are often quick to engage you in a ridiculously long contract, and then often disappear afterwards without a trace of customer service. There are very few alarm companies in Washington and Oregon that provide their customers with the option of a monitored or self-monitored panel. So here we'd like to take a little time to explain the differences between Olympia Systems' monitored and self-monitored alarm systems.

Self-Monitored Alarms Pros: - Easy to use interface - No monitoring agreement - Easy to relocate equipment - No false alarm fees because emergency services never gets called - Free tech support through our online forum Cons: - No dispatch to emergency services - All service done by owner - Limited to manufacturer's warranty

Monitored Alarms Pros: - Easy to use interface - Dispatch to emergency services - Monthly Alarm Logs - Phone Tree Alarm Verification - Free maintenance on equipment - Free tech support through our online forum Cons: - Monitoring agreement - Cannot easily be relocated - Need dedicated phone line or dedicated IP
