Power Loss Signal to EMC Security Foils Thieves Plans!

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

If a customer’s home or business ever suffers a loss of power, EMC Security receives power loss signals, and notifies customers as an service at no additional cost to the customer.   In this day and age, we are seldom surprised that thieves will steal anything not locked down, even a power box.  Recently, the EMC Security monitoring center received a power loss signal from the business of a customer protected in Commerce, Georgia.   We notified the customer who traveled out to the business and discovered the theft of the power box from his business.  The monitoring center contacted police for him and he reported the incident.  It would appear that the thieves may have been setting up the customer to be robbed later that day when the system batteries died.  This is another great way that EMC Security continues to protect homes and businesses across Metro Atlanta and North Georgia!

Attempted Home Invasion- Alarm Saves Customer at Home

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

The EMC Security Monitoring Center received an alarm from the home of a customer in Commerce, Georgia.  Their alarm was activated at 01:44AM.  Immediately after the alarm was activated, the monitoring center was in contact with the customer who stated that a man was attempting to break into her home.  Monitoring center operators maintained in contact with both the customer and the police in order to give minute to minute updates for the police prior to their arrival at the home.  Once the customer was with the police, the monitoring center ended the call with the customer.  EMC Security learned that the suspect did not gain access to the house.  The customer believes the alarm siren sound probably scared the suspect away.  She reported damage to the front of the house where the suspect cut the screen out of her porch.  The alarm functioned as needed and the police arrived in time to prevent any harm or property loss.  This is a real monitoring story of how the of the EMC Security alarm helps protect customers while they are at home.  Whether you are at home or not, home invasions are an unfortunate and all too common reality.  Please remember to always arm your system while you are at home and away.  If you don’t have a system, please check out our Security System Buyer’s Guide.
