Yah here too, but with the added restriction that ONLY they can monitor
alarms. I'm not sure that same restriction is in effect because I wont do
business in that town anymore. We tried to push a restriction of trade suit
but our association was a bunch of wimps back then. They had one Radx 6500
and an old 685 in a small room the size of a large restroom, no software
just file cards....and they'd yell across the hall to dispatch: Hey Mabel!
Jack Smith has a perimeter alarm again send Joe out there on his way to
Dunkin Donuts! The really sad part is the homes in that area are
mega-million dollar shacks.
They would let us service the crap that someone put in, but not do any of
the monitoring. Infact they were incapable of repairing or installing
anything, they just wanted the monthly.
| West University Place, an incorporated area within Houston, has its own
| monitoring facility at their police station. It has created a lot of
| problems for the citizens because alarm dealers here don't want to service
| equipment they don't monitor. And yes, they do charge more than most of
the
| alarm dealers in town. Their claim to fame is that there is no middle
man,
| the alarm comes in directly to the police station.
