    I can't. I have too much white guilt

    I know and if I were a person of color I would find that white guilt more offensive, patronizing, and condescending than actual racism.

  • I had an eye opening experience with my monitored alarm system a little while back.. I had gotten home early and was doing some serious renovations to my house. I had backed my Black Dodge Truck with a Black Topper up to the front door to roll out my air hoses, elec cords etc etc.. I walked in the front door just as my wife went out the back to work and set the alarm. I ran around outside the house to say bye.. The alarm went off, I scurried in to disable it and wait for the call from the Alarm Co. The call looking for my last 4 SS#s never came so i went about my business.

    I went into the bathroom and took a leak with the fan going, walked out, down the hall, around the corner in to my LR and right into the business end of a 38 with about a 65 yr old short pudgy Dept Sheriff on the other end.. Dude had a BAD case of the shakes! I could see the wheels turning, he was thinking "SHIT!! two weeks to retirement and look at the size of this SOB!! 😮

    I honestly thought this man was going to shoot me out of fear in my own Living Room.. I backed up, he backed up and I told him my wallet was right there on the counter.. Look at my driver's Lic.. I OWN THIS HOUSE!! Not sure who felt more relief when it was over..

    All because my alarm Co did not make the pre requisite call to establish whether the alarm was legit or not. 😵

    He rolled up on a Black Dodge truck backed up to the front door looking like a load up.. I didn't hear him yell upon entry because I was in the bathroom with the fan on.. I felt bad for him.. He was still shaking when he left.. I probably was too.

  • Depends on the signal that was sent. If a zone was set up as a panic or a 24 hour alarm they won't call they'll simply dispatch the cops.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • If you have a false alarm and they don't call it's your responsibility to call them and verify that it was a false alarm. Most police departments will start billing you if you roll them more than twice on false alarms.

  • Generally you'll hear your keypad beeping, in your scenario, to alert you to the fact that your alarm is set.

    Alarm systems can be awesome or kind of useless depending on how much you want to spend. Mine is awesome. Your basic system...well...

  • Yeah, well, I guess they fired that girl for nothing then didn't they.. Not at my request either. Never presume you know more than the person conveying the experience. I have alarm systems on multiple homes I own and two businesses I own.. I'm very aware of how the zones are set up on each.. This was just an extremely bad set, almost a perfect storm for disaster set of circumstances..

    Regardless, With the acquisition of #3 that I closed on Dec 31st, I'll be getting my CC permit soon.. I hate that society makes me feel that to be necessary. 🙁

  • Yeah I've put probably 50,000 alarm systems in from private homes to museums to fortune 500 companies. It's a fair assumption I know more about it than you.

  • I can promise you that you ignored your entry delay warning tone from your keypad. I can also feel confident that your monitoring company would not have fired someone for not calling you prior to dispatch unless it was a chronic problem. I've seen dispatchers keep their jobs after rolling fire trucks to jobs where the accounts were on test which is a waste of taxpayer resources.

    And a close relative owns the franchise that installed and operates all of my systems in a state far far from you..

    Quit digging.. Seriously

    Back away and just breath...

  • You get upset way too easily when challenged. I've seen this from you before. You going to put me on ignore again? Remember when you did that because I didn't like a song you were on about? Thicken your skin.

  • Upset? This is stoopid.. Upset is what I feel about all the Tax prep, regulations, and Obamacare BS I'm going thru this month on top of a start up.. This is a simple diversion from that..

    I simply tried to make you understand that I knew what I was talking about here.. I tried to do it in a respectful manner.. But you simply wouldn't have it and kept digging..

    I did block you briefly when I first re registered.. Was still, and am still figuring out who's who and the lay of the land... I sent you a PM and apologized, remember? And I told you that I'd treat you with respect as long as you returned the favor.. The software notified me that you saw the PM.. Was I not clear?

    If I wasn't. Allow me to reiterate what I said, in public..

    I apologize for my part of the disagreement.. I have removed you from ignore and will treat you with the same respect I'd treat you in a face to face meeting.. All I ask is the same in return...

    Go back, read this entire exchange from my initial post in this thread..

  • I just started off giving you a small piece of advice about typical system operations, not bring confrontational but I think you took it a way that was not intended.

    You would not be believe the amount of people who don't know the first thing about their security systems, and are nervous to get to know them. No disrespect intended.

  • When I said it's your responsibility to call them that's not trying to be a dick or anything. There are certain circumstances that they would call the police or fire service directly and not call you first. If you don't get a call you should always call them. I always tell people that. Even if you don't get confronted like you did they will end up charging you. And even I, a guy who works with this crap for a living, have had cops dispatched for false alarms.

    ok I'll check for them. 99% of the time I'm on mobile and I don't always get messages.
