Many Port St. Joe and Cape San Blas homes are seasonal, and the owner may be in another state when an alarm goes off. With TekPro’s 24/7 monitoring, burglar, fire, smoke and carbon monoxide signals reach a monitoring center that follows your instructions. We serve Gulf County from Panama City, about 40 miles away.

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.

Fewer False Dispatches

Passcodes, cancel procedures and user training help prevent false dispatches. We walk everyone through what to do if they set off the alarm by mistake.

Monitoring for Homes That Sit Empty

With a large share of local homes vacant for parts of the year, monitoring can be the difference between a quick response and damage that goes unnoticed for weeks. We set up call lists that include a local contact who can check the property, and we can add monitored smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Businesses downtown and along US 98 get burglary and fire monitoring, with opening and closing reports if you want them.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I have a local contact on my call list?

It helps. A local contact can check the property if needed while you’re away.

What’s a trouble signal?

It means something in the system needs attention, such as a low battery or a communication problem.

Can you monitor fire alarms for my business?

Yes. We monitor commercial fire alarm systems as well as burglar alarms.

Can you monitor a system someone else installed?

Often, yes. We’ll check your equipment first.
