Basic intrusion alarm systems sound a high decibel alarm when an entry point is breached – but they may not always be a link to first responders. Often, they just provide a loud noise that is intended to scare off intruders. While the noise may frighten off less-determined criminals, most will simply ignore the noise and attempt to disarm your control panel as soon as they can.
A monitored intrusion alarm system is fully linked to a professional service provider that continuously monitors your property, is alerted when the alarm is triggered, verifies with you that there is an emergency situation, and summons the appropriate help when it is needed. With a monitored system, you can rest easy knowing that your home or business has complete protection from criminal activity like break-ins, theft and vandalism.
A professionally monitored intrusion alarm system from Crime Free Living can provide many benefits to Chico, CA residents and business owners, including:
Alarm monitoring is an essential component of an effective home or business security system. Nationwide studies have shown that having a professionally monitored intrusion alarm system increases safety and deters theft. And when you display signage that alerts others that you are protected with a monitored security system, this increases your protection factor even more.
Our highly trained staff members continuously monitor your property day and night. No matter whether you are at home or away, we will respond immediately if your alarm is triggered. In such an event, we first contact you to verify; then if needed we contact first responders to dispatch the appropriate emergency services so that they arrive at your site within minutes, which can potentially save lives and prevent the loss of valuable possessions or business assets. Even if your home or business is unoccupied, help will be on the way.
We provide radio service as either the primary alarm monitoring technology, or as a wireless backup. Signals are sent wirelessly to our central monitoring station, without the need for dedicated phone lines or third party networks. Our alarm monitoring facilities are UL listed, so you can rest assured that our personnel and equipment are among the most dependable in the security industry. Plus, our facilities feature built-in redundancies for their power, computer and phone lines. So if something happens to go wrong with one of these systems, the redundancy ensures that our team can continue monitoring your alarm system without interruption. We take pride in always upgrading to the latest monitoring technology, to better serve our Chico, CA customers.
Almost every insurance company provides a substantial reduction on property insurance premiums – generally 10% to 30% – for homeowners and business owners who have their alarm systems professionally monitored. When you choose Crime Free Living for your alarm system monitoring, we will provide you with an alarm monitoring insurance certificate that you can forward to your insurance company in order to receive your premium discount. Often, the savings on the insurance premiums are enough to cover all or most of the annual alarm monitoring fees.

We offer wireless alarm system monitoring for Chico, CA homes and businesses. This allows your alarm system to be monitored without a land phone line, saving you the cost and hassle of having to get a landline just to use with your alarm system. And landlines can easily be cut or disabled by intruders, disrupting the communication between your alarm system and the dispatch center, and putting you at unnecessary risk. With wireless monitoring, we can communicate with your alarm system 24/7 through cellular networks.
Crime Free Living also offers interactive services that enable you to know what's going on at your home or business at all times. You can monitor your alarm system from anywhere, using your smartphone, tablet or laptop, which saves you time and puts control at your fingertips. Remotely arm and disarm your security system, schedule automated arm and disarm schedules, receive text or email alerts with open/close reports, instantly delete user codes for terminated employees, and more. For example, if your employees fail to arm your security system or enter your building outside normal business hours, you’ll receive an alert sent to your smartphone.
False alarms can be costly, as the Chico, CA police generally impose significant fines once a certain number of false alarms have occurred at your property. Our central monitoring station utilizes two-call enhanced call verification. Our operators take extra steps to determine the source and severity of an alarm event. This allows us to reduce false alarms, and dispatch law enforcement or other first responders without taxing their resources with unnecessary visits.
In addition, secure, managed IP communications transmit a test signal several times per hour, unlike traditional phone lines which only send a signal every 24 hours. We regularly monitor your alarm system for trouble conditions so that we can notify you accordingly. And if your system does not check in with us during a routine test transmission, we will promptly contact you to schedule a service appointment.
