SMS Messaging and Alerts:
Do your customers want SMS text messaging or alerts instead of phone calls? No problem. As technology continues to transform our industry, we are staying in-step with the needs of the buying public. With iPhone, Android, Blackberry, and tablet technology permeating the security market, our ability to use and incorporate this technology means that you will be able to meet your customers’ needs in an ever changing world.
ADA Elevator Monitoring with Dedicated DID Lines:
We offer American Disability Act Elevator Monitoring. We provide each elevator we monitor with a dedicated DID phone line. This means we know where the call is coming from even if the caller doesn’t. This ensures we can get the help the caller needs when seconds count.
Custom Cancellation Lines:
Want to have your customers phone calls answered in your business name? No problem. We offer Custom Cancellation Lines with a display of your business name to our operators when your calls come into our dispatch center. This ensures that we answer your customers’ phone calls, not with some generic central station name or phrase, but with your name and a customized greeting. We also provide personalized greetings, on hold messages, and contact transfer information for your customers. This will boost your phone traffic from your customers back to your offices, keeping you in frequent contact with your customers.
Answering Services:
Need an Answering Service or have one that isn’t doing the job you thought it would do? Let us help! We can provide Answering Service to you and your office staff. Since the Central Station generates most of the after -hours calls to your on-call staff, we are better prepared to differentiate between a technical help phone call and an answering service phone call. Want your messages logged or sent to an email or Smartphone? No problem. We can come up with a plan that suits your needs and gets your messages to the right people in your office.
BoldNet Dealer Account Management Access:
We provide to our alarm dealers BoldNet Web Access into your database. This web based tool allows you to see your accounts, run reports, enter new accounts, and change data on existing accounts. With 128-bit encryption on our web server, you can rest assured knowing that access to your accounts is safe and secure.
Terminal Services Dealer Account Management Access:
Does your office process a lot of data? Do you need unrestricted account access into your database? Want to see what the dispatchers see? Do you need access to your data like our Client Relations Department has? No problem. We offer Terminal Services access to your data over a secured/encrypted VPN connection. Your staff can log into their data as if they were sitting right in the central station. Access to everything our employees can access! Does your current central station offer your staff this level of access?
BoldNet Customer Access:
Do your customers need web access into their accounts? Do they need to see history or run their own reports? We offer a customer level web access so your demanding customers who want access to their data can have it. Customer level access gives those demanding customers instant access to the most recent events so they can manage their business with the most up-to-date information available. Most access for this level of information availability is view-only; however, we do offer data entry capability for customers whom you deem it necessary to have.
AlarmNet, DMP, Bosch, Honeywell and Firelite IP/IPDACT Communication Services:
We offer a wide variety of IP based communications services. As the industry moves away from phone lines to IP-based commutations, we continually test and evaluate newer IP-based interactivity that we can deploy in our central station. This allows you to keep up with the current trends in the alarm industry. Allowing you to retain your older customer base and bring on a new customer base with IP communications.
Connect24 & AlarmNet GSM Services:
We’re a Master Reseller for Connect24, which means we can help you save time and money on your GSM units. Our Client Relations team can manage your account base for you. If you want to handle your GSM customers, we can move your account under our Master Reseller agreement, reducing your monthly charges from Connect24 and minimizing upfront costs. Additionally, we offer AlarmNet GMS services, allowing you to set up your dedicated identification for unique access to your accounts and billing. This simplifies your AlarmNet billing, helping you track your services and customer data usage accurately for billing purposes.
AES Radio Network:
We have four FCC licenses we currently hold providing AES Radio Network coverage from Redding to Fresno and from the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe. If your customers need a radio solution or you need more information, then please contact us so we can discuss this amazing technology, and why, in many ways, it is a superior offering to your customer base.

We have multiple reports (over 100 so far!) and each one of those reports has multiple options so you can drill down to just the information you want to see. Do you like to see information displayed in a specific way? No problem! If we don’t have the report you need, we can make it!
