Benefits of Local Monitoring

Benefits of Local Monitoring

since 1892, Creating Peace of Mind

You can rely on the fact that we work with local Law Enforcement Centers and Fire Departments to continue to improve our ability to ensure rapid and accurate responses to alarms.

24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week, 52 Weeks a Year

Johns Brothers Security is one of very few security companies in the Commonwealth of Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina to house and operate its own UL® Listed Central Monitoring Station.

The company is the largest independently-owned security company in this region of the United States.

Johns Brothers Security can respond to your security and fire needs immediately because we have the most comprehensive and sophisticated monitoring equipment and our local staff works constantly with our customers to help them operate their systems to their maximum capacity.

Our entire operation is UL® (Underwriters Laboratories) approved. UL® standards are extensive and extremely strict. UL®’s representatives inspect our Central Monitoring Station annually in order to maintain the approval.

Johns Brothers Security is made up of dedicated and highly-trained people who are available 24 hours-a-day to take care of our customers’ needs, who deliver great service, through our state of the art technology.

When you have invested in a security system monitored by a Central Monitoring Station, you may be required to purchase a city permit. The requirements vary between the Cities in the state. You should check with your local government about the rules in your City. Permit rates are minimal and some need to be renewed annually. Check with your City Hall for full details on permits and false alarm charges.
