General FAQs
How much does a security system cost?
We get this one all the time, usually from people who either want a
budget figure for planning the expenditure or simply want to know if
they should even consider it. Not to belittle the sincerity of the
question, but this is about as useful as going to a car lot and
asking the dealer, "How much does a car cost?" There are simply too
many variables to give a perfectly accurate answer until we have
properly surveyed your situation. Under ideal conditions, we prefer
to arrange to meet the prospective client at his/her/their premises
to evaluate the realities and provide an accurate price. We can give
you a price range based on a telephone interview, and this requires
answers to specific questions. We’re not trying to be cagey, just
accurate. You provide "ULC listed" alarm monitoring service. What is the significance of
"ULC"? ULC stands for
Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada which is a professional
rating body that publishes standards defining the construction,
installation, and maintenance of products and services
integrally involved in the loss prevention, life safety, and
security industries in Canada. ULC has set down standards
pertaining to alarm monitoring services covering everything from
standard operating guidelines for signal handling to standby
power systems, telephone line backup, and the physical
structural security of the building housing the alarm monitoring
centre itself. All of these measures are in place to make sure
that our monitoring station is there for our clients when they
need it. With respect to liability and property insurance rates,
ULC listing is fast becoming an absolute must for the
application of insurance premium discounts based on the presence
of security, fire alarm, and other protective systems.
What is the significance of the "Survival" in "Whynacht Security
& Survival"? "Survival" originally
referred to our involvement in providing training programmes in
wilderness skills. As the years have passed, this area has
expanded to include a broader scope of courses and seminars as
well as consulting in other areas of self-reliance. Check out
Consulting and Courses and Seminars on our
SERVICES page.
Do you rent video surveillance
systems? No. We design them,
we write specifications for them, we install them, and obviously
sell them, but we don’t rent them.
Do you provide security guards? No. While our members
are usually uniformed when on the job and this has led to
occasional misconceptions, we do not now, nor have we ever,
offered guard service. We do, however, perform surveillance and
evidence collection operations if the mission requires it, as
well as property check and Emergency Response Service (ERS) for
clients with monitored alarm systems who need someone to respond
with the key in the event of an alarm. |
