Monitoring

Monitoring software and hardware is only as good as the people backing it up.  As a result, Safeguard is committed to having the most qualified and extensively trained personnel using the most advanced technologies available.  This serves the singular purpose of providing our customers with the very best monitoring services. Protecting lives and property while ensuring the safety and welfare of employees and families that we serve means that we never take shortcuts.

No other monitoring provider in the industry has invested more resources in pursuit of this mission.  Safeguard monitoring facilities consistently exceed the most stringent industry standards. These include UL and FM certification for our Monitoring Control Centers, Department of Defense accreditation, FDNY certification and more. Our main Central station on the East Coast is 75,000 sq. ft. and we also use a 21,500 sq. ft. full-load capable West Coast facility to provide redundancy.

Our enhanced monitoring centers are custom designed and maintained to exceed all industry standards and to provide the ideal work environment for our employees to serve our customers. Our work areas and on-site training centers have been cited as the best in the business.
