WHY ALARM MONITORING IS A GOOD IDEA!

Monitoring means someone responsible is watching out for your home or business day and night, 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Ready to react the instant your alarm reports a problem (for example, power failure... fire...a personal panic or emergency) OR is activated.

Which means you can enjoy what you are doing without those nagging worries.

GARRISON MONITORING has free special additions.

  • Direct access (via the web) to your alarm's history (90 days):
    • Your children home yet?
    • Staff movements
    • Cleaners been? How long did they stay?
    • Did I put the alarm on this morning?
  • Use the same history to see how fast the monitoring team responds.
  • Immediate person to person contact to the monitoring team, no waiting in automised queues. You already know your call is important!
  • Direct access to the admin team via email so you can change your contact details quickly any time you are going away.
  • Dual monitoring protection... We have 2 monitoring bases in 2 different locations so if one monitoring base is out the other continues monitoring your home automatically.

All this from just 94c per day

POPULAR MONITORING OPTIONS

Standard Alarm Monitoring
The moment your alarm has spotted a problem (fire, power fail) or has activated, a signal is immediately sent to the monitoring station. They then jump into action, contacting the people (keyholders) you have nominated to get the problem rectified. Keyholders could be friends, family, neighbours etc.
  $0.94c
per day incl GST
($28.70 per mth incl gst)

Patrol Response Alarm Monitoring
This is the same as standard monitoring but with the
addition of a guard who is dispatched to investigate the problem. Patrol response is ideal if you are new to an area and haven't friends or family handy, as well as commercial sites in the after hours and weekends.

2 FREE patrol call outs per year

(additional call outs are $65 +GST)

  $1.23
per day incl GST
($37.40 per mth incl gst)

Commercial Alarm Monitoring
With set/unset recording

Includes all the above Patrol Response Monitoring benefits with the addition of:
Alarm Status Reporting - Records each time the alarm is armed and disarmed and the code used in each instance. The monitoring company also checks to ensure the alarm is armed at the normal times and will report immediately any unusual disarmings.

  $1.44
per day incl GST
($43.60 per mth incl gst)

HAVE YOU GONE WIRELESS?

You've gone wireless and no longer have a landline
But would still like your alarm to call / text you directly, if the alarm activates… AND would also like to have the ability to arm or disarm your alarm via text.

NO PROBLEM!
Adding our GSM dialler will provide this capability, all you need to do is purchase a sim card with text credits… easy!

  (on average installed $496.00 incl gst)

You've gone wireless and want your alarm "monitored"
We simply add either our IP100 or PCS300 module (depends on your alarm brand, also must be under 10 years old) and connect this to your internet router.

You just need to know your password and your IP account details so we can programme the module in. Then your alarm can be monitored as normal.

*May vary slightly depending on the distance between the alarm panel and the router, and therefore the time it takes to run the cable to connect them. Your router also needs to be capable of "port forwarding" (most are).

  (on average installed $585.00 incl gst*)


Can my alarm be monitored?


If your alarm is under 12 years old then usually yes. You will need a live analogue telephone line and wiring access to it from the alarm panel.

What costs are involved in setting monitoring up?

  • With a new alarm installation – none, it's free to set up.
  • IF you already have an alarm – ideally it needs to be in good shape if it is to be monitored. We recommend our technician services it first:
    • A standard service is normally         $159.00 (incl GST);
    • Our new monitoring client special   $128.00 (incl GST).
  • Connecting the alarm to your telephone (normally $79) is free.

I've got broadband!


To ensure your broadband service doesn't interfere with monitoring signals, an industry grade ADSL splitter will be needed.
  • Normally $148.00
  • Special $128.00

Am I locked into a contract term?


No. We do have an initial monitoring agreement term of 12 months and from there it can be cancelled at any time beyond that with 1 month's notice.

Terms for Less Than 12 Months


If during that initial 12 month term your circumstances change, then monitoring can be terminated without penalty with 1 month's notice. A site visit fee of $65 may apply if we have to visit your home to disconnect your monitoring.

Direct Dial


In the event of alarm activation (only), the alarm will make a direct calls to 2 nominated cellphones or landlines. If these lines are busy, switched off or outside the coverage area this call will be lost, so direct dial is a very limited self monitoring facility but has no on going cost.
