Whether you are simply out doing errands or out of town for a week long vacation, a fire can spark at any time. You’ve protected your home with a security system, but have you protected it from dangers within?
With EPS smoke and heat monitoring, our customers understand that if a fire ever does erupt, our expert operators will be able to dispatch emergency services with remarkable efficiency.
Unlike battery operated and AC powered smoke detectors, EPS monitored detectors are directly connected to your home’s security panel. Once smoke is sensed by an EPS monitored detector, a message is relayed to your control panel. The control panel then sounds local alarms while connecting to the award winning EPS Central Station.
Once an EPS Central Station operator receives a fire signal, the appropriate fire departments are notified. This seamless process completes in seconds, so whether you’re home or away, help is on the way.
