Alarm Systems & Monitoring

1. RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS:

 

WE MONITOR EVERYTHING BECAUSE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

Our home security systems are easy to operate and can be customized to fit your lifestyle. We can install wired, wireless or a combination of devices that best suit your needs. Optimum Security Services understands the importance of protecting and securing what you love and value. A security system monitored by Reliance Protectron can protect your family and home from the following:
Home Invasion
Annually, 1.2 million Canadians fall victim to a property crime and 300,000 are victims of a violent crime1. A Reliance Protectron Authorized Dealer will complete a security assessment and develop a complete solution that protects you from unwanted intruders.


Smoke and Fire
In 37% of the homes where fire and death occur, the smoke alarm was inoperable due to the battery2. Reliance Protectron can ensure a monitored smoke detector is always working and if fire is detected, a fire and rescue crew will be dispatched to your home within minutes – whether you are there or not.


Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
CO poisoning causes over 300 deaths annually in North America3. CO is colourless, odourless and undetectable by humans, but with a monitored CO detector, Reliance Protectron will sense it immediately. You will be contacted immediately and emergency help will be sent if required.


Flood & Water Damage
Flood related insurance claims in Canada are estimated to be $140 million per year4. Early notification can prevent or reduce the effects of flood-related damage. As a Reliance Protectron Authorized Dealer, we can install flood sensors in the basement, laundry room, or near any water source.


Extreme Temperature
We can install temperature sensors that monitor abnormal changes in temperature, alerting and saving you from a costly and unfortunate outcome, resulting from overheating or freezing.

3. MONITORING:

 

HOW DOES MONITORING WORK?

All of the components of your security system are connected to your central control panel - the brains of the system. The control panel communicates with Reliance Protectron's Monitoring Centre via a communication line like your phone line or a digital wireless network.
When your system is ARMED, Reliance Protectron monitors the various sensors in your home or business for activity. If a sensor is tripped and no valid user code is entered into the keypad within a specified time, an alarm signal is sent to the Monitoring Centre. 
This is when Reliance Protectron Operators jump into action.

If you have the proper devices to monitor for smoke & fire, CO poison, flood and extreme temperature changes, Reliance Protectron is always monitoring your home for these potential threats. If one is detected, a signal will be sent to the Monitoring Centre to be acted on. Arming and disarming of your system has no impact on this.

5 INTERLINKED VIRTUAL MONITORING CENTRES

Reliance Protectron began monitoring Canadians for personal medical emergencies in 1989. Since then it has developed and grown its monitoring centres into one of the most technologically advanced monitoring stations in the country, protecting over 430,000 homes and businesses.
Reliance Protectron's monitoring centre combines the very latest in technology with a best-in-class training program for their Emergency Response Operators. With 12 weeks of in-house training and practicum learning, their ERC Operators learn to respond to emergency alarm situations and medical emergencies with precision and professionalism. In addition to this training, all of their operators become certified with the Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) and the Security Industry Association (SIA).
Multiple-monitor operator stations, integrated with leading edge response platforms, two-way voice technology and complete customer management systems, ensure that all of the information to handle the situation quickly and correctly is obtained for the operator. This high-end technology ensures a rapid response to any emergency.
Through their commitment to excellence, Reliance Protectron has built and operated their Monitoring Centres to meet the requirements of the Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada (ULC) and has one of only two Canadian monitoring stations that has earned the prestigious Five-Diamond Certification from the CSAA. To earn this designation Reliance Protectron displayed proficiency in alarm verification, communication with emergency services and emergency preparedness for a wide variety of scenarios. The CSAA Five-Diamond Certification is seen as the benchmark of excellence for a central station.
Over the past few years, Reliance Protectron has invested millions of dollars developing and enhancing their monitoring centres.  Their national network of ULC-listed centres share the same operating software and are connected by a secure and dedicated communication line.  This allows each centre to act as a back up in the event of a disaster or outage. 
Reliance Protectron's credentials, technology and experienced personnel set them apart from others.
