Richmond Alarm News Blog

After NBC 12 featured Richmond Alarm’s COO and our RSI Videofied product, Dan Gelinas at Security System News wrote about and quoted Corey Bogg’s regarding  connection to police departments in Central Virginia. Richmond Alarm is demonstrating to local law enforcement the enormous benefit the Videofied product can offer in catching criminals and prevent calls for false alarms.

Criminals are not aware sites are monitored so they get caught!

With Videofied, potential thieves or vandals do not hear or see an alarm signal so they get no ‘heads up’ to run. Police can often make arrests at the scene, or get a good idea what he or she looks like, to make an arrest soon after.  Criminals are not just scared away and free to try a different, unmonitored location since they are often caught in the act.

How Videofied minimizes false alarms

False alarms are reduced because our monitoring station can see what caused the signal or if there is any unusual activity at the monitored location. This is a significant benefit to officers who are frequently called to false security alarms, temporarily distracting them from pressing criminal and safety concerns in the community.
Richmond Alarm is unique in communities of Central Virginia because we develop relationships with police and support their efforts to protect all of us. Our experienced technicians are exceptional at reducing the number of installation and service errors that can cause false alarms. At Richmond Alarm, we live and work in the communities we serve and we want police to focus on the real problems, not snipe hunting on false alarm calls.
