First Alarm also uses the latest in technology to ensure you receive the highest quality of service.  We use an Electronic Guard Tour System called “The Pipe” to ensure our officers are alert and performing their duties.  “The Pipe” is basically a small computer that has a built in clock and memory.  We install small round discs we call “buttons” at various locations on your account.  Each button encases a small micro chip with an electronic serial number.  The electronic serial number is recorded along with the current date and time each time a button is touched by “The Pipe”.  This information is downloaded to, and sorted by, a central computer once a week.  Individual reports are then printed and can be sent to our customers for their review.
