As homeowners and business owners, we all have the same goal—protecting our property and keeping our loved ones safe. When you've invested your hard-earned money and precious memories into your home or company, you want assurance it's properly secured. While we try our best to prevent fires and other emergencies with safety precautions, risks still exist no matter how careful we are. Disasters can strike when we least expect them. That’s why having a professionally monitored fire alarm system brings peace of mind that even if the unthinkable happens, emergency help can arrive quickly.
At Arrow Security Systems, we share that same dedication to protecting what matters most. For over 35 years, we’ve partnered with residential and commercial clients across Long Island to install and monitor tailored fire safety systems. Our experience has shown us time and again how monitored alarms critically benefit properties when rapid response is a necessity. Let’s take a closer look at how professional monitoring can provide an added layer of protection for your most valuable assets—your home and family or business and employees.
The National Fire Alarm Code requires any building with a fire alarm system to also have offsite monitoring. Why? Monitored systems save precious time in emergency response. With monitoring, a signal is sent immediately to our UL-listed monitoring center the moment a detector goes off in your building. Highly trained professionals analyze the alarm and dispatch the fire department right away.
Having those critical first few minutes can stop small issues from turning into raging fires. Fire departments report monitored sites have significant less structural damage on average. The faster response also improves safety for anyone on your property. Plus monitoring services work around the clock, even when your business is closed overnight and on weekends when facilities are unattended for long stretches.
In a worst-case emergency, quick notifications are critical. Say an electrical fire breaks out overnight when no employees are present. With monitoring systems, the alarm triggers automatically even if it's 3 a.m. Monitoring personnel will still receive the signal and alert fire crews immediately. The system works the same even during holidays, weekends or extreme weather events when roads are dangerous and response from others is delayed. Having a third-party monitoring center as backup around the clock provides assurance your property is protected even when you can't be there.
Monitoring also helps avoid false alarms that can disrupt operations and waste emergency resources. With our two-call verification process, when an alarm is triggered, we first contact you or keyholders to check if it's a false trigger before requesting fire dispatch. If it's an equipment malfunction or employee error that set off the alarm, you can cancel the call and avoid firefighter dispatch fees and emergency vehicles racing to your site unnecessarily. Verification steps help prevent wasting public safety resources on false triggers.
Our team doesn't just monitor your existing equipment around the clock. We also perform thorough quarterly and annual inspections, testing, servicing and maintenance to keep your systems in peak operating condition. Problems get diagnosed and fixed proactively before they turn into real emergencies. We check all detectors, alarms, connections, batteries, power supplies and more and make any needed repairs or replacements immediately. Proper upkeep is essential for reliable protection.
At Arrow Security Systems, we want you to have confidence that your home or business is monitored 24/7 by experienced professionals who treat every alarm with diligence, care, and urgency. Don't leave your property's safety to chance. Let us expertly install and monitor a fire alarm tailored to your building's unique needs and layout.
