If you are going on vacation, even if it is just for a weekend, we encourage you to call us and let us know. When you call you can tell us when you will be leaving and returning and what is the best phone number to reach you when you are gone. It is also good for us to note who, if anyone, should be coming or going into the house when you are gone. This way, if we do get an alarm we will save valuable time tracking you down to let you know of the incident.

Everyone has instructions on their account that tell our dispatchers who to call and in what order to call them in the event of an alarm. Some people even have detailed instructions on how to react to certain alarms that are specific to their needs. If you have any questions on what your instructions are or who gets called in what order, call us and we can review your instructions with you. These can be mailed or emailed to you as well. You will need to have your password in order to review any account information.
