You can feel safe with Loss Prevention Services Inc. as your monitoring partner.

 

In our 2500 square foot facility in Clemmons, North Carolina with eight inch thick concrete block walls, corrugated steel ceilings and quarter inch thick iron bar window coverings, we have built a highly secure central station with more than necessary redundancy and protections to provide assurance that our monitoring service will be there through any circumstances.

 

Power redundancy is created through two propane fueled 25,000 Watt generators connected to two separate transfer switches that monitor the main power supply that, in the event of a power drop, will automatically start the generators and take over the central stations power load without human intervention. In the event the first generator fails to start…the second generator takes over. Each generator is tested weekly on load for a half hour and is constantly alarm monitored for security.

 

Behind our state-of-the-art firewalls, we have triple redundant database servers, which by "UL" standards eliminates the requirement for a central station to maintain hard copy backups of all account information...but we exceed the standard by maintaining hard copy back ups anyway. In addition, all automation systems are supported by a 9,000 Watt UPS system providing uninterrupted power should a switch over become necessary.

 

Our primary communications network is provided by three national telephone service companies via a main telephone service trunk fed underground to a private termination box inside the central station.

 

Live Operators are on duty every minute of every day of the year. They are carefully selected in accordance with state regulations, receive above average wages, are highly trained to handle any alarm situation and are licensed with the NC Alarm Systems Licensing Board. In addition, they are required to maintain a level of proficiency through state mandated continuing education training classes during each two year licensing period.

 

In the event of a major catastrophe requiring the relocation of operations, a subsidiary station employing redundancies equal to our main facility is available within a three minute drive. All staff members are trained for this possibility and a disaster drill is conducted annually to insure a quick and efficient relocation.

NFPA Allows Monitoring of Fire Extinguishers

 

Recognizing the improved reliability and added safety of electronically monitored fire extinguishers, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) voted to amend NFPA 10 and NFPA 72 to include electronic monitoring in lieu of mandatory physical 30-day inspections. The ruling will go into effect in September 2006 following ratification by the NFPA Standards Council.

Enhanced Call Verification

 

Everybody has cell phones these days…if your alarm should go off, we can call your home or business, then up to two additional numbers to verify if an actual emergency exists before dispatching. This has been statistically proven to reduce false alarms by up to 40%!
