In a town where many owners live somewhere else for much of the year, Destin properties need someone watching even when nobody’s home. TekPro provides 24/7 monitoring for burglar alarms, fire alarms and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, so an alarm gets a response instead of going unheard. We serve Destin from Panama City, about 55 miles east.

What to Expect

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.

Monitoring services for Destin:

• 24/7 burglar alarm monitoring
• Commercial fire alarm monitoring
• Smoke, heat and carbon monoxide monitoring
• Cellular communicators
• Custom call lists and instructions

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

When the Owner Is Hundreds of Miles Away

For a condo owner who lives out of state, a smoke alarm in an empty unit is a serious problem if nobody hears it. With monitoring, the signal goes to a monitoring center, which follows your instructions: call the people on your list and dispatch help as needed. For businesses on the harbor and along US 98, monitoring covers after-hours break-ins and fire signals. Commercial fire alarm systems that are required to be monitored also need an approved communication path, which we can set up and maintain.

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.

Keeping Your Call List Current

An out-of-date call list slows down the response. We’ll help you set it up and remind you to review it, especially when staff or tenants change.

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.
