Choosing an Austin Security Monitoring Service
For businesses in Austin and throughout Texas, a monitoring service for your commercial security system isn’t just good for your peace of mind—it’s a smart business investment.
Here are some facts businesses and commercial property owners should be aware of when thinking about a security monitoring service:
- Only about 25% of businesses in the U.S. have actively monitored alarm systems
- Business are far more likely to be burglarized than homes
- Additionally, a business without a monitored security system is 4.5 times more likely to be burglarized than a business that has one
- Of these properties suffering losses from burglaries, most didn’t have their security systems turned on
The takeaway? A monitored security system only works if you use it, and using one can significantly reduce your risk.
Installing a comprehensive security system backed up by 24/7 commercial security monitoring is one of the most effective and reliable ways to protect your business from all threats—from burglaries, vandalism, and other crimes to environmental threats like fires and gas leaks.
As a leading provider of expert commercial security and monitoring services in Austin and throughout Texas, our team at TriStar Commercial has put together a list of the top benefits a monitored security system provides to businesses.
What Is a Monitored Security System?
A monitored system is one that’s connected to a professional security company that watches over your home or business 24/7. It’s not just about burglar alarms—it also covers fire and smoke detection, carbon monoxide monitoring, water leak alerts, and even medical emergencies.
When your system is triggered, the monitoring center reaches out to confirm the emergency. If you’re not available, they quickly dispatch the appropriate responders—whether that’s police, fire, or EMS.
4 Advantages of Security System Monitoring for Austin Businesses:
24/7 Protection for Your Property
While it may seem that all security systems provide constant protection, the reality is that a security system can only be as effective as the personnel backing it up. If you aren’t around, an alarm may not prevent a crime from taking place.
With security monitoring, however, your property is constantly watched over. A monitoring team ensures a fast response to any intrusion or incident, with professionals constantly watching over your home or business.
Full Scope of Protection
The classic use case for a security system is preventing burglaries. However, this is far from the only threat to your business.
A monitored security system provides protection from all dangers, including:
- Break-ins
- Vandalism
- Fire and smoke
- Carbon monoxide and other gas leaks
- Water leaks
- Much, much more

Insurance rates depend on the calculated liability of your property. By installing a comprehensive security system, complete with monitoring, you stand a good chance of saving on your insurance premiums as your property is better protected overall.
