Services
Fire Alarm Systems
We design and install fire alarm systems that integrate smoke and carbon monoxide detection with automatic sprinkler monitoring. Our systems provide immediate alerts to both property owners and emergency services through UL-listed central stations. Custom solutions work with traditional phone lines or modern wireless communication for reliable performance in all Tahoe-area properties.
24-Hour Monitoring
Our continuous monitoring service covers fire, burglary, and environmental threats through partnerships with certified central stations. When alarms activate, we notify property owners and dispatch emergency responders as needed. Wireless backup communication ensures system reliability even during power outages or internet disruptions across Lake Tahoe, Reno, and Carson City locations.
Burglary Alarm Systems
We implement advanced burglary detection systems including bear-resistant alarms for Tahoe-area properties. Systems feature remote access through Total Connect 2.0 or Alarm.com platforms, allowing property owners to arm/disarm systems and receive real-time alerts. Custom installations accommodate both new constructions and historic buildings with equal effectiveness.
System Installations
Our technicians handle complete system installations from pre-wire stages to final setup. We specialize in adapting modern security technology to Tahoe's unique properties, including vacation rentals and historic cabins. All installations meet industry standards for performance and reliability, with wireless options available for properties lacking traditional phone lines.
Emergency Repairs
Licensed technicians provide 24/7 troubleshooting and repair services for all security systems. We address fire alarm malfunctions, burglary system failures, and environmental alert issues with prompt on-site service. Emergency repairs prioritize restoring system functionality to maintain property protection during critical situations across our service areas.
