How does Central Station monitoring work?

1. Your alarm, whether we installed it or someone else did (we can take over monitoring most alarm systems), is programmed to dial into one of our receivers. This signal tells us your account number and what "zone" was triggered.
2. One of our highly trained dispatchers will call the premises to verify that it is not a false alarm.
3. If there is no answer, or someone answering the phone gives an incorrect response to our dispatcher, they will notify the proper authorities (fire, police, etc.).

Matson Alarm Company, Inc. is a UL approved Central Station Monitoring company. What does this mean to you?

1. Your security system will be installed by professional and reliable technicians. When you call you will be talking to trained dispatchers and service professionals.
2. You can be assured that your security system is being monitored by a reliable and redundant system. This means that all of our systems run in dual, so if one phone line goes down, or an electronic system were to fail, a second system will automatically take over. These systems are checked regularly by Underwriters Laboratories which means that all of our equipment is in the best condition. Also, if your business needs a UL site certificate, we can not only install and monitor your business, we can do all of the paperwork needed to receive the certificate.
