 What is the purpose of having a monitored Security System?
With Young's Security Systems, Inc., your home or business is protected, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Imagine the peace of mind you will have knowing that when you are at home or away, your property is protected. With a residential alarm system, you, your family members and your cherished possessions are shielded from fire, burglary, carbon monoxide, sump pump failures, low and high temperature, humidity, water leaks, gas leaks and power outages.
A monitored alarm system uses sensors and control electronics at your home or business to automatically communicate alarm events to a central monitoring facility (Central Station). The Young’s 24 hour, UL-listed Central Station automatically receives coded information from your system through phone, cellular, internet or radio connections, which is recorded in our computer systems and analyzed by trained operators who call police, fire, and medical authorities to respond to the situation. The cost of an alarm system depends upon your individual needs. Our sales representatives are trained to work with you in identifying the most cost-effective system to meet your needs.
Most insurance companies give significant discounts to alarm owners who are monitored by a UL listed Monitoring Station.
What is the advantage of having monitored smoke detectors? Having a monitored smoke detector at your premises ensures that the fire department will be contacted if you have a fire emergency. A good photoelectric smoke detector will detect smoke particles caused by even a slow smoldering fire. The smoke detector is powered continually and the Young’s security system supervises its condition. With this service, you can rest easy, knowing that your smoke detector is continuously monitored through a 24 hour zone, even when your alarm system is not armed.
A basic alarm system will not be able to communicate with the Central Station, but it will sound the siren on the premises. Young's offers GSM cellular communication which will communicate with our central station when your wired phone lines have failed.
The system has a back-up battery housed in the control panel for this emergency. It will recharge itself once the power returns. Our latest design in motion sensors allows for pet movement while still providing protection. A pet immune motion sensor is specifically designed so that a pet under a certain weight will not cause an alarm. This is achieved through state of the art, dual sensor technology, located in the motion device.
Simply enter your security code and press OFF. Then, call the monitoring station at (217) 522-9000 to advise us that you accidentally tripped your alarm. You will need to tell the monitoring station your name and password Since all of our systems are programmed to send us alarm cancellation signals as well as the alarm, our procedure is to notify emergency services soon after we receive the alarm, then start on the call list. If an alarm is false, disarm the system immediately. This will quickly convey the cancellation signal to us. What happens when the alarm goes off? A trained dispatcher will quickly notify the authorities. The monitoring station will then proceed through the call list for the premises and try to reach a responsible party. The police, once they have arrived will do a perimeter check of your premises, and look for any visible signs of forced entry. If none is found, they will leave. The alarm will reset itself after 8 minutes and the siren will stop sounding. If a break-in has occurred, the police or guards will enter and check the premises and notify the Central Station.
