Loss of inventory is a potential threat that almost all business owners face. Video surveillance and access control are two important features added to your alarm monitoring system that prevent the additional expense of having to replace stolen inventory. Our advanced video equipment uses HD Mega Pixel Cameras, NVR (Network Video Recorder), DVR (Digital Video Recorder) or Analog Cameras to suit your needs.

Whether you own a large hotel, restaurant, gas station or a huge factory, your employees, customers and guests will feel safer knowing they have a video surveillance system that will enable them to see what is happening both internally and externally. Safety and comfort usually translates into greater productivity.

Wireless Security System

Posted by: Doug Penson Posted Date: 02/26/2010

An exciting new product available at SECUR-U - The ALEXOR 2-Way Wireless Suite

Alexor is the centre component of DSC’s 2-Way Wireless Security Suite. It operates as a completely wireless control panel and communicates wirelessly to the other DSC wireless security devices.

Because it is a distributed system, the panel is not attached to the keypad physically, but rather wirelessly. Designed for flexible, secure installation locations within the home, as long as there is access to AC power, Alexor operates via up to four wire-free keypads. DSC’s 2-Way Wireless Security Suite offers wireless and continuously supervised communication between devices. The signals between the 2-way wireless devices and the Alexor Panel are fully encrypted, prohibiting unauthorized interruption of communication between them. If the security system changes its armed state or any of the 2-way devices are tampered with, Alexor will immediately be signaled and the appropriate transmission will be instantly be transmitted to the monitoring station. Alexor offers all the reliability of traditional wired/hybrid control panels but with all the convenience that wireless delivers.

Security System Installation Question?

Security System Installation Question?

Potential SECUR-U Security System Client Question:

Hello, I recently moved to Hamilton and am interested in an alarm system. You came highly recommend by our State Farm and Mortgage Architects in Milton. I am looking to cover at least 6 windows and 2 doors and possible video surveillance. However my only concern is after living here for a couple months we have realized that the area is not the greatest and are not looking to stay for very long most likely a year, maximum two years. Do you have any monthly programs for those lengths of times?

How much would I be looking at spending with this reduced amount of time on a contract? We will be keeping it as a rental unit however so there is a possibility of future tenants wanting to continue with the service, would that be possible? Thank you, Michelle

SECUR-U Reply:

Michelle,
 
To answer your question around short term monitoring we can sell you a system based on time and material but in the long run if you are planning to stay were you are for two years and potentially rent out your existing home I would certainly recommend going with one of our three year packages which are either wireless or hardwired depending on accessibility to run wire in your home.   If you decide to move at year two, you can transfer the monitoring agreement to the new owner and your real estate agent can make it apart of the purchase and sale agreement.  If the new owner does not agree to transfer the monitoring then you can move the system to your next home or payout the remaining term of the agreement outstanding which is typically a lot less then paying the time and material cost upfront for the original installation.
 
 
I am happy to visit you at your home to provide pricing and a tailored system including cameras if required to suit your requirements.
 
Our team at SECUR-U look forward to working with you.

Personal Emergency Reporting System "PERS"

Posted by: Doug Penson Posted Date: 02/22/2010

Supporting Independent Living...in your own home!

 

Freedom made possible with a personal emergency reporting system from SECUR-U Inc.

 
Given the choice, most seniors and persons with medical conditions or physical challenges would prefer to live in their own homes and be as independent as they can. That’s not always possible, but for many, this dream can become a reality with the addition of one easy-to-use communications device. A Personal Emergency Reporting System connects to your home telephone line and automatically places a call for help whenever you need assistance, any time of the day or night. Family, neighbors, and medical personnel whom you predesignate are notified immediately, so they can respond. This system has proven dependable enough to meet some very tough standards. It is listed by Underwriters Laboratories as a home healthcare signaling device and a smoke alarm accessory.
 
The means to activate the system couldn’t be simpler or more reliable. You keep a wireless transmitter with you at all times.  In the event of an at-home emergency — any emergency — you press the alarm button, which functions like a TV remote control, to signal the console to automatically call the Emergency Monitoring Center, staffed by trained professionals 24 hours a day. When one of these operators receive your call, he or she notifies the key people whom you preselected to respond in specific situations: family members, neighbors, friends, or rescue personnel.
The system includes a very versatile personal emergency transmitter that you should keep with you at all times.
 
A number of accessories make it easy to adapt to different circumstances. These include a wristband, a pocket/belt clip, and a pendant string. The transmitter is completely waterproof, so you can even wear it in the shower. And it will tell you when a transmission has been sent to the console through visual confirmation (a red indicator light) and audible confirmation (a beep).
 
Enjoy life independently, freely, and confidently in your own home. With peace of mind made possible with a personal emergency reporting system.
A long transmission range ensures that you can depend on its signal reaching the console. However, each unit must be tested for range at the individual location. The transmitter is also continuously monitored by the console, alerting you when its long life batteries get low.
 
 
Benefits of a Medical Alarm
 
•             Elderly or disabled people can enjoy an independent lifestyle in their own homes.
•             Immediate medical assistance can be provided in an emergency.
•             24 hour monitoring that will prevent tragedy and provide peace of mind.
•             Communication device that is designed to work especially in the event of a fall.
•             Easy to use technology that includes a neckstrap with a lifeline button or main console with a large red button.
•             Portable nature allows you to take it with you everywhere, even in the shower.
 
 
Round-the-Clock Assistance in Any Emergency
 
The heart of this system is the console itself, which is designed for tabletop use and is ideal for bedside placement. It features a centrally located EMERGENCY button for manual activation in the same manner as the personal transmitters.  Two other functions are located on the console as well: a CLEAR button, which cancels alarms or resets the system following an alarm, and a HOME button, which resets or turns off the activity reporting timer.
During an alarm, the console sounds a distinct tone to identify the type of alarm. During a power outage, continuous protection is ensured by a long-life back-up battery.
Other valuable functions are easy to add.  The console can be equipped for two-way voice communications.
In an emergency situation, the console contacts the Emergency Monitoring Center. With two-way voice capability, the console will also work as a speaker phone, allowing you and the Emergency Monitoring Center operator to talk directly with each other until help arrives.
 
Special sensors can monitor activity within your household. In the absence of activity for a specified period (either eight, 12, or 24 hours), the console will automatically alert the Emergency Monitoring Center.

In the presence of fire or smoke, optional smoke detectors will initiate an automatic fire alarm call to the Emergency Monitoring Center. Warning tones will be sounded by the console and the smoke detector to alert you, even if you are sleeping.

Residential and Commercial Security Alarms

Posted by: Doug Penson Posted Date: 02/05/2010
Reduce False Alarms at no added cost by simply adding two signal dispatch to your home or business alarm system. Most importantly your existing security system must be tailored so that you have sufficient coverage to implement this service. Here is how it works; by activating two signal dispatch on your alarm monitoring with SECUR-U the operators at the central station will immediately notify the premise and key holders only upon receiving one independent zone signal (ex: one door or one window or one motion detector or one glass break detector) but will not notify and dispatch the police. When any two zones are received (door + motion, motion 1 + motion 2, glass break + motion, etc...) the operator at the central station will dispatch police, call the premise and contact the key holders on your security alarm account. Contact SECUR-U for further details by clicking this link: http://www.securu.com/contact-security-company.aspx We look forward to tailoring the right solution for your security needs because at SECUR-U we are "Working Together for a Safer Community"

Tips for your residential and commercial security system

Posted by: Doug Penson Posted Date: 01/22/2010

At SECUR-U our job is to ensure that your security system is functioning properly at all times. There are times when environment changes can affect this and components on your alarm system may require a small adjustment.

The winter months bring cold temperatures causing windows and doors to contract. Because of this, the transmitter on your door that signals to your panel when the contact is opened or closed can appear open even when it is not and cause a false alarm. A good way to test this is to enable the chime feature on your keypad, lock your door and then push and pull on it. If your chime doesn’t sound then your transmitter is positioned correctly. If you do hear a chime it means your door transmitter needs to be adjusted to ensure proper function throughout the cold weather.
