Monitoring

Your basic alarm panel is capable of sending signals through a phone line or wireless transmitter to a central station. Many different types of signals can be sent: burglar, panic, fire (if you have a fire system installed to your alarm panel), trouble, low battery, power failure, etc. Once the central station receives a signal from an alarm panel a dispatcher will respond. Central monitoring stations can be locate in or out of town or even out of state. Ours is a UL listed Central Station located right here in Houston, Texas. Insurance companies give discounts for having an alarm monitored by a central station.. The discount may even pay for the cost of monitoring. Turbo Communication, Inc. offers several different options for your monitoring needs:

One (1) year contracts Three (3) year contracts Five (5) year contract

You can Pay: Monthly Quarterly Annually

We will be happy to quote you our prices.

Cellular Backup

This is an alternate method of communication for your alarm system when the phone lines have gone down or been cut. It is a wireless transmitter that can be added to your alarm system.

Glass Break Detectors

Turbo Communication, Inc. uses Caddx Controls Solution glass break detectors. These detectors can be mounted on the wall or ceiling up to a 25' radius of the glass it is to protect.. These glass breaks use 3 x3 Technology. The Solution performs the complex task of identifying multiple frequencies associated with breaking glass, while ignoring similar sounds which are present in many applications.




		LED Keypad

Keypads

There are two basic types. First there is the LED, this keypad uses lights that are numbered to identify if a zone is closed, open, or bypassed The other is called a LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). This kind provides a customized zone description, such as "Front Door" instead of a light marked Zone1. Both type of keypads can turn on or turn off the chime feature, this is when a door or window is opened with the alarm disarmed the keypad will chime letting you know that a door or window was opened. A third type of keypad is your phone. You may arm, disarm or check status of your alarm from any phone inside or outside your home or office.With the Caddx NX148 LCD Keypad you can check and see the last time your alarm was armed or disarmed right from the keypad

Panic Buttons

When you feel threatened, you can press a panic button to sound your alarm. If you are monitored, the central monitoring station call the local law enforcement. There is a panic button on your alarm keypad. You can purchase an optional wireless panic button or stationary button that can be mounted. The wireless panic button is one of the handiest, it can be activated when you answer the door, from your bed or when you step outside your home or office up to 200' from the receiver.


		Alarm Screens Looks like a regular window screen on your home. The difference is the screen has a thin alarm wire that is weaved through the screen. If someone were to cut or remove you alarm screen, it would sound your alarm. The screens and frames are available in regular or solar, and come in a number of different colors that you can choose from.

Motion Detector or PIR Detector A motion detector or PIR is used to detect motion when your alarm is armed. When the detector senses motion it will trigger your alarm to sound off. Turbo Communication, Inc. only recommends that motion detectors are to be used as a second line of defense against a burglary. Make sure that you have ALL of your exterior opening doors and windows to your home or office contacted so when they are opened your alarm will sound.
