Back to Base

Is Back to Base Monitoring Right for You?

Back to base monitoring is exactly how it sounds. When an alarm is triggered on your property, a professional security team “back at the base” will be alerted immediately and can determine the level of threat without having to interrupt you, unless it’s deemed necessary. Using back to base monitoring makes having a personal security team accessible for most homes and businesses and gives you the freedom to go about your day without having to check security alerts that may be triggered by a falling leaf or stray cat – because, who has the time for that? And while it might be fun to scroll through your security footage to figure out how your Amazon box somehow ended up behind a bush (did the driver really just toss it from his car window?) you’ll have the option of leaving it to the professionals.

While some ‘smart devices’ work great if you are easily accessible, it’s not ideal for you to be monitoring activity while you’re trying to work or away on a holiday hoping to unplug and recharge. Furthermore, if you’ve travelled far away from your home or office and can’t rush back when an alarm goes off, having someone else understand what has triggered sensors and respond accordingly will give you great peace of mind. Insurance companies also recognize the added value of having back to base monitoring and will often give you a discount on your premiums when you incorporate it into your security system.
