Benefit to Local Security Monitoring

When in comes to monitoring your home alarm or business system, there are many large national security companies who have their monitoring in a centralized location. This location may not be in your city, your area, or even your state. Using local monitoring stations assures that the company is familiar with the location of your home or business, understands municipalities and what their emergency protocol is, and that they are even aware of outside environmental factors. Did it recently flood? Did your area just get hit with an ice storm that knocked out power lines and telephones? Another benefit to monitoring your system through a local company is that it supports your city.
