Thank you for helping us out with the alarm installation in our home. While we were up north over Memorial Day weekend, we had our hot water tank fail, spilling water into our lower level. The water detection system notified Pointe Alarm & Monitoring and we were notified of the problem. When we returned, we shut the water off to the hot water tank, which eliminated a major problem. We also have a carbon monoxide warning system as part of our alarm system. Your installer did a great job making sure we had a strong enough signal, which required a second trip out to the house. Both of us feel secure knowing that someone is monitoring our home while we are away."

"We love the personal attention and fast response time from the Pointe Alarm team. They are such a vast improvement from our previous vendor.
The technicians are skilled and respectable, the office staff are prompt and knowledgeable, and the ownership team understands our role as a welcoming Church in the community."
JIM SCHULTZ, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE & OPERATIONS, GROSSE POINTE MEMORIAL CHURCH
There is an obvious difference between Pointe Alarm and the nationwide alarm companies. Personalized alarm design, prompt service, and lower pricing is just a few of the advantages that come to mine. Pointe Alarm has contacting me three times in the last year to remind me to test my system or offer a free review of my system. In the previous 15 years with a national service, that had not happened once. Doing business locally with people from my community is important to me as it fosters an accountability that I could never seem to find with other alarm companies. Thank you Pointe Alarm, please don’t change a thing."

Residential intrusion alarms focus on detecting entry through doors and windows. The systems also detect motion within the home. We offer contactless alarm installation with no service visit required.
Pointe Alarm has several systems and methods of detecting intrusion attempts. Door contacts are used for entry doors, garage doors, sliding doors, and all types of windows – whether they slide or swing open. Glass break detectors add a level of security because they use sound or vibration sensing to trigger an alarm. The systems can be hard-wired or wireless. Our sales staff can guide you through the right choice for your application.
Commercial security alarms secure perimeters with monitoring and detection. These systems create a strong defense with visible deterrents and hidden sensors.
Physical security is your first line of defense. Door contacts are used for entry doors and all windows that open and slide. Glass break detectors add a level of security because they use sound or vibration sensing to trigger an alarm. Glass can be made burglar-resistant with polyester films. Motion detectors monitor for movement near points of entry.
By leveraging our suite of Managed Services, you’ll add the capability of a skilled team who can access your video systems directly, help determine if an unauthorized activity is taking place when an alarm is triggered and provide emergency personnel with critical information to assess the situation. Managed Services also assume a number of administrative and functional tasks to help simplify and reduce workload, ensuring your systems are always in good working order.
The ability to remain self-sufficient in one’s own home is important to the elderly or people with a disability. Medical monitoring and alert systems help people maintain their independence with help on call at the touch of a button.
Emergency pendants can be worn around the neck or on the wrist. They have easy-to-use buttons that can be pushed in the event of an emergency. A base station detects the call and uses a speakerphone to communicate with emergency personnel.
