Why Edmonton Businesses Choose TELSCO over Shield Security
The Local Monitoring Difference
The most significant differentiator is where your alarm signal actually goes. Shield Security, while owning an office on 58th Avenue, outsources monitoring to a third-party, Canada-wide company. TELSCO operates a 100% Edmonton-based monitoring center located at 12750-127 Street. With TELSCO, in an emergency, you aren’t talking to a call center in another province; you’re talking to someone who knows the difference between Mill Woods and Griesbach.
Contract Flexibility
At TELSCO, we have a “No Long-Term Contracts” philosophy. We offer month-to-month flexibility, which is a massive draw for Edmontonians wary of being locked into a service that no longer meets their needs. Shield Security often requires a standard contract period in exchange for lower upfront equipment costs.
Simple Switching, Handled By Us
If you are a Shield customer looking to switch, TELSCO specializes in “Hardware Reuse.” Our technicians are trained to take over existing Shield or ADT hardware, potentially saving you hundreds in new equipment costs while upgrading you to the TELSCO Connect mobile app.
Your business deserves more than fragmented security and monitoring. Speak to us today and we’ll customize a security solution for your business’ unique needs.
