Happy Holidays from Keystone Security to you! Thank you for your continued
business and best wishes to you and your family for a joyous and safe holiday
season. We hope 2005 brings you prosperity, joy and peace.
The Keystone Security staff has been hard at work to bring you
state of the art security. We attended the GE Security conference
at the beginning of December and came home with an array of new
security products. Many of these new products can be assimilated into your existing
security system, so don’t hesitate to ask about “upgrades.
Get ready for security that's unlike anything else in its range. Concord™ Ultra
offers a long list of popular features. The on-board crystal 96-zone wireless
receiver has an open-air range of 2300 feet, solving distance challenges for
large homes and detached buildings. It's fully loaded with an impressive list
of standard features for total performance i.e. 225 word vocabulary to identify
locations of your sensors. And you can add modules for advanced electronic capabilities
like Internet security monitoring, home
The Micro Crystal Panic Button is a water-resistant wireless device used for activating police, medical or auxiliary alarms. When the panic button is pressed, the LED mounted under the front cover will blink and an alarm signal is transmitted. This product has an open-air range of 375 feet and may be added to most ITI/GE Security alarm systems.
FREQUENTLY
Asked Questions:
How do I know if my alarm system is connected to the monitoring center?
We do everything in our power to ensure that you have an uninterrupted connection
to our central station. In a recent local homeowners association newsletter,
there was an article discussing this situation, and even stating that the alarm
company could not give them a good explanation when a fire alarm went off in
their home, and the central station did not dispatch.
All of the alarm systems Keystone Security has installed in the last ten years
sends a weekly signal to the central station (there are a few exceptions – and
those customers with these exceptions have been notified.)
We also track a report from our central station for alarm systems that do not
report in once a week. We follow up and find out why.
Some alarm systems have a 30 second delay before calling the central station
after an alarm has been set. This is a false alarm protection that gives you
time to reset your alarm system. If you wish to turn this feature off, let us
know.
You can also check your alarm system’s connection. Call the Central Station
and let them know you are going to test your system.
Frequently asked questions, continued.
Then trip your alarm, (set it to away, wait for the alarm to set, and open the
front door. Let it sound for more than 30 seconds.) (Warn your neighbors that
you are testing your alarm!) Disarm the system, and call central station to
ensure that they received your signal. If there is any problem, don’t hesitate
to call our office during business hours.
Keystone can also check your alarm history from your control panel and at the
central station to see when your system last communicated. Just ask!
Tips to Prevent Identity Theft
The next time you order checks have only your initials (instead of first name) and last name put on them. If someone takes your checkbook they will not know if you sign your checks with just your initials or your first name, but your bank will know how you sign your checks.
When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT
put the complete account number on the "For" line. Instead, just
put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number
and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check
processing channels won't have access to it.
Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home phone. If you have
a PO Box, use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a PO Box,
use your work address.
Never have your Social Security# printed on your checks (you can add it if
it is necessary.)
Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine, do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel.
If your credit cards are stolen, call the three national credit
reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and
Social Security number. The alert means any company that checks your credit
knows your information was stolen and they have to contact you by phone to
authorize new credit. The numbers are:
Equifax: 1-800-525-6285
Experian (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-3742
TransUnion: 1-800-680-7289
Social Security Administration (fraud line)
1-800-269-0271
