Welcome back to Part 3 of our Tips of the Week series. Every Monday, we answer common questions from our customers.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>So far, we’ve shared tips on making your property look lived in while you’re away and getting the most from your camera system. This week, we’re focusing on something just as important: your monitoring and response plan.
It’s easy to assume your system is working perfectly. But when was the last time you actually tested it? Give your alarm a quick check and make sure it’s being professionally monitored.
We also recommend reviewing your response plan every 12 months. Who gets contacted if there’s an alert? Are they still the right person? If you’re heading overseas or likely to be out of contact, now’s a great time to update your response contacts to someone local who can act quickly if needed.
For extra peace of mind, HSM offers a professional Guard Response Service. Our trained security officers can be dispatched as soon as an alarm activates. It’s a trusted service used by homeowners and businesses across New Zealand. We also provide Static Guarding Services when your property is busy, staff are onsite, or you simply want a visible security presence.
Follow along next week for Part 4, where we’ll talk all things gates from automation to access control.
