The EMC Security monitoring center received a back door and hallway motion detector alarm from the home of a customer in Athens, Georgia. The monitoring center immediately responded to the alarm by calling the home to check the status. During that call a male voice answered the phone, listened for a moment, and hung up after being asked the password. A few seconds after hanging up, the front door sensor had detected activity. It appears that the intruder had broken into the home and answered the call to check and see if the home security system was indeed being monitored. When the intruder realized that the alarm system was indeed being monitored, the intruder fled the home through the front door. With the help of the customers monitored security system, nothing was taken from the home and no one was home at the time. This is a great example of why alarm monitoring centers require passwords when calling to ensure that it is someone who is supposed to be at the home at the time of the alarm.

Brazen Intruder Answers Monitoring Response Call While in the Home!
Thursday, March 29th, 2012Medical Alert Pendant Helps Elderly Customer Home Alone
Thursday, March 29th, 2012The EMC Security monitoring center received a medical alert two-way pendant alarm from the home of an elderly customer living in Elberton, Georgia. The customer had fallen while at home and could not get back up on her own. Distressed and home alone, she pressed the button on her two-way pendant she was wearing and was able to speak directly to a monitoring center operator though the pendant. She told the operator that she did not think she needed an ambulance, but needed some assistance in getting back on her feet. The operator was able to contact the customer’s daughter and remained on the phone with her until the help she needed had arrived. When asked about the incident the customer’s daughter said, “I talked to my mom, and she said everything went smoothly. She said the operator talked to her until help arrived, that my brother was called promptly, and that she was pleased with the way it worked. Thank you so much.” Without the medical alert pendant, no one knows how long the customer may have lay on the floor or what could have happened to her. Please be sure to contact EMC Security about our medical alert pendant for your elderly or disabled loved ones. With this kind of personal emergency response system, your loved ones are never alone or without help.
EMC Security Toy Drive Collects over 200 Toys for Toys For Tots!
Tuesday, December 27th, 2011
December 27, 2011- Suwanee, GA- EMC Security began a holiday tradition this year of collecting toys for the U.S. Marine’s Toys for Tots program of North Atlanta. Despite this year’s economic challenges, customers and employees of the locally owned security company collected over 200 unwrapped toys to donate to needy families this holiday season.
Some customers who made donations have said they found it easier to drop off at the EMC Security corporate office in Suwanee, Georgia than at busy local restaurants and retail stores. “We are so proud of the generosity of our customers and employees through these ongoing difficult economic times,” says Vince Raia, President of EMC Security. “The donations started off strong and continued throughout the entire collection dates. We want to give a special thanks to all our customers, especially those who drove from outside their normal areas to donate big bags of toys to these special children. We are so happy with the amount of donations made.” EMC Security customers came from all over the Metro Atlanta counties including Gwinnett, North Fulton, Dekalb, Forsyth, Barrow, and also Cobb County to donate these toys. This was EMC Security’s first ever Toy Drive and will be an annual event for years to come.
