After Hurricane Michael, Marianna residents learned what it’s like to go without power and services for weeks. A monitored alarm with a solid backup plan is one way to stay protected through whatever comes next. TekPro provides 24/7 monitoring for homes and businesses in Marianna and across Jackson County from our Panama City office, about 60 miles south.

Getting Started

Before monitoring begins, we confirm the system communicates reliably, set your passcode and call list, and walk you through what happens when an alarm comes in.

Lessons From Hurricane Michael

In a long outage, an alarm can go silent once its backup battery runs down or its landline stops working. We can’t make any system storm-proof, but cellular communicators, healthy backup batteries and an up-to-date call list give your system the best chance of staying connected. Businesses downtown and near I-10 can monitor burglary and fire signals, and churches and offices can add opening and closing reports.

What Marianna monitoring can include:

• Commercial fire alarm monitoring
• Smoke, heat and carbon monoxide monitoring
• Cellular communicators
• Custom call lists and instructions
• Opening and closing reports

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

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.

What We Monitor

We monitor burglar alarms, commercial fire alarm systems, and smoke, heat and carbon monoxide detectors connected to your panel.

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An out-of-date call list slows down the response.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.

Yes, where cellular coverage is available.

Can I cancel a false alarm?

Yes. Disarm with your code and give your passcode to the monitoring center.

Do I need a landline?

No. We generally recommend cellular communicators.
