Making the Most of TELSCO Connect Notifications for Your Business
It wasn’t all that long ago that the only thing we expected from our alarm systems was for them to let us know if there was a break-in. If there was no break-in, traditional alarm systems would sit quietly for months or years at a time without providing any other information. Although this basic intrusion detection was still incredibly valuable, the full potential of modern alarm systems was not being recognized. Now, with TELSCO Connect Notifications, your commercial alarm system goes above and beyond the call of intrusion protection. It provides you with valuable real-time information about the daily operational activity of your business.
Business Alarm System Benefits We Recommend
Here are a few of our favourite notification features:
Business Not Open on Time Alerts
Your customers are counting on you to be open on time for business operations. With a “Not open on time” alert from your alarm system, you will know if someone is running late. This prevents the risk of customers waiting to be served outside your business. For staff members that start before daylight hours, this notification feature also offers peace of mind. You know that they have arrived safely at the business location.
Business Not Closed on Time Notifications
The power of a commercial alarm system comes with reliable and fast emergency response when an alarm occurs. Of course, if the alarm system is not turned on, there will be no security response. Setting up a “Not closed on Time” notification will ensure you are made aware immediately. You receive an alert if the alarm system is not armed by the expected closing time. If you receive a text message or email letting you know that the security system is not turned on, you can use your smartphone to quickly arm it. This remote arming happens with the touch of a button.
Early Business Closure Detection
Have you ever had a customer say that they arrived at your business shortly before closing time? They found that the doors had already been locked for the night earlier than expected. With an “Early to Close” notification from your alarm system, you will not have to wonder about daily operations. You will know for sure if the shop was opened until the end of the business day.
Alarm System Arming and Disarming Activity Tracking
Individual user codes have always been a best practice for commercial alarm systems. With the addition of TELSCO Connect notifications, you get even more operational value from assigning unique user access codes. Anytime the security system arms or disarms, you can receive a text message, email or push notification. Each notification includes the name of the specific user who accessed the system. If someone you don’t expect disarms the alarm on a weekend, you will know right away. If the cleaning crew is not onsite as long as you might expect, you will receive immediate notification about their shorter visit.
Door Left Open Security Monitoring
You take great care to ensure your business is locked and secured at the end of each day. However, alarm system notifications can also help keep you protected throughout business hours. With door left open alerts, you can receive a text message, email or push notification immediately. These alerts activate if a warehouse door, private office door or freezer door is left open unexpectedly during operations.
Custom Alarm System Reporting and Video Integration
With custom reports from your alarm system, you can receive daily, weekly or monthly summaries of all the notifications listed above. Summary reports allow you to quickly spot operational patterns and address any security concerns. With the addition of Video Surveillance systems, you can take your business awareness to the next level. You can log in from anywhere on your smartphone or PC to see exactly what is happening at your business location in real-time.
