On a rural property near Chipley, a siren may go unheard. Monitoring sends the alarm to people who will act on it. TekPro provides 24/7 monitoring for burglar alarms, fire alarms and life-safety detectors across Washington County, serving the area from Panama City, just under 50 miles away.

Before We Begin

Starting monitoring is simple. We check your panel and communicator, set up your call list and instructions, and test that signals reach the monitoring center.

Moving Off Landlines

Alarms that report over copper phone lines are at risk as those lines are retired. A cellular communicator gives the system a modern, supervised path to the monitoring center.

Our Chipley monitoring includes:

• Custom call lists and instructions
• Opening and closing reports
• Alarm.com app alerts
• Takeover of existing systems
• Trouble signal follow-up

Many Chipley customers pair this with security alarm systems or fire alarm systems.

Getting a Signal Out From Rural Properties

A monitored system is only as good as its connection. Many rural homes and businesses still have alarms that dial out over a landline, and those lines can be slow to come back after storms, or be discontinued. We switch systems to cellular communicators where coverage allows and test that signals reach the monitoring center. For businesses near the I-10 interchange and in town, monitoring covers burglary and fire signals, and commercial fire alarm systems can be monitored as required.

App Alerts as Well

With Alarm.com you can get alerts on your phone in addition to professional monitoring, so you know what’s happening as it happens.

How Monitoring Works

When your system sends an alarm, the monitoring center receives it and follows the instructions on your account: contacting the people on your call list and dispatching help as needed.
