Is Your Current Security System Provider Letting You Down?

Is Your Current Security System Provider Letting You Down?

When you’re running a business in Covington, KY or the surrounding areas of Boone, Campbell, and Hamilton counties, the last thing you should worry about is whether your security system will work when you need it. Yet far too many small business owners are frustrated with alarm companies that overpromise and underdeliver.

If you’ve been burned by slow service, unreliable technology, or poor customer support, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to settle for less.

5 Signs It’s Time to Switch Your Security Provider

A solid security system should protect your property, not cause you stress. Here’s how to know when it’s time to make a change:

  1. You’re dealing with frequent false alarms
    Whether it’s sensor issues or poor system design, repeated false alarms cost you time, money, and credibility with local authorities.

  2. You never hear from your provider
    No follow-up, no maintenance check-ins, and no one answering your calls? That’s a big red flag.

  3. Your system is outdated or missing features
    Modern systems should offer mobile access, high-res video, and smart alerts. If you can’t view your cameras remotely or get real-time updates, you’re behind the curve.

  4. Emergency response times are too slow
    The value of a monitored system is in how quickly it triggers a response. If your current provider can’t deliver that, your business is at risk.

  5. You’re not sure what you’re paying for
    Confusing contracts, hidden fees, or unclear service levels are signs your provider isn’t transparent—or trustworthy.

“We were stuck in a contract with a national alarm company that never returned our calls,” said a local restaurant owner in Campbell County. “Emergency Systems came out, assessed our system for free, and helped us switch without the headache.”
