215Secure – Protecting thousands of businesses and commercial buildings from fire, intrusion, and unauthorized access

Any building system requires regular inspection, testing, and maintenance to ensure it can do what it’s expected to. Fire and life safety systems are no different. There are so many reasons, and they go beyond loss of life and property, although those two are of course top of mind when you think about a fire. It’s about your family, the home you’ve built, your peace of mind and more. We are privileged to live in a time where fires are much less common. But to keep it that way, we have to keep in mind the simple actions we can take to make our homes, families, businesses, and colleagues safer. When properly maintained and inspected, fire protection systems are among the most reliable means to ensure the safety of your building and everyone in it. Trusting that your systems will optimally perform in the event of an emergency depends upon the quality of the service and inspections performed on them. If done thoroughly and correctly, organizations can expect to see many benefits. With confidence that you’re prepared should a fire happen, you’ll be ready if it does. That peace of mind is priceless.

215Secure is one such company that is protecting thousands of businesses and commercial buildings from fire, intrusion, unauthorized access and more. Clients count on them for cost-effective, custom-tailored solutions, streamlined installations and highly responsive support. The company has been in the security industry long enough to recognize that every environment has different vulnerabilities and faces different threats. They also understand that every organization, every business is unique, with its own culture, its own needs and goals. Their goal is to put knowledge and experience to work to make it easy for you.

Revolutionizing Security Sector with Robust Fire and Life Safety Services

Access Control: Access control systems are designed to limit unauthorized entry — to your entire premises or just sensitive areas. Many systems also generate an audit trail, so you know who entered or exited and when. Whether you want to control access by people or vehicles, 215Secure can design and install an access control solution to fit your needs and budget. Their systems are flexible and easy to use. They make it simple to identify authorized users and to reduce risk by remotely deactivating lost credentials, disabling amenity access for delinquent residents and locking out terminated employees. They also offer entry systems that allow visitors, guests and package deliveries to enter a lobby or vestibule while restricting access to the rest of the building.

Central Monitoring Station Security System: Fire and intrusion alarms require rapid response. 215Secure partners with trusted professionals to provide central station monitoring services for their clients, regardless of who installed your system. Their partners meet all licensing, accreditation and compliance requirements, including UL Listed monitoring sites and National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) compliance. For maximum reliability and timely response, they maintain failsafe backup systems at multiple sites, and their dispatch teams have been thoroughly vetted and evaluated, so you can count on exceptional professional service.

Intrusion Detection: Detecting an after-hours burglary or other breach the next day is too late. 215Secure's intrusion alarm systems monitor and alert you to forced entry. They also detect door props and support such applications as wandering management and infant protection notifications. Drawing on a variety of sensor technologies, they can design systems for restricted areas as well as building perimeters and can set up event triggers to automatically force live camera streams to command consoles or monitored displays or to alert authorities as appropriate.

Video Surveillance Security Systems: Prevent many problems before they happen. Their video surveillance systems enable you to watch proactively for potential threats, like vandalism and jobsite theft, and provide documentation in the event of a fraudulent slip-and-fall or false workers’ comp claim. Integrated with your access control system, they also allow for remote access decisions. They will work with you to identify your risks and determine placement — at entrances, busy common areas, garages and parking lots, mailrooms, cash management areas, trash and maintenance areas — for monitoring suspicious activity.

Fire/Life Security Systems: Today’s fire and life safety industry offers an enormous selection of equipment — but with choice comes complexity. 215Secure will listen closely to your needs, evaluate your building and help you navigate your options. They are always evaluating new technologies, and they partner with best-in-class manufacturers whose equipment offers great features, solid performance, ease of use and exceptional value. If it doesn’t meet their standards, they won’t offer it. What’s more, as brand-agnostic systems integrator, they are free to recommend the solution that is right for you. Their skilled field technicians are experienced with products from most major equipment manufacturers — even if they don’t currently carry that brand. As long as the company can get parts, they can repair your equipment.
