Registering your alarm with the Town of Gilbert

The Town of Gilbert requires residential and commercial alarm systems to be registered. Here is what the town publishes:

• Register online. New alarm owners register through Gilbert's False Alarm Reduction website. If you received a letter from the town, you already have an account.
• The rules live in town code. Section 42-76 of the Gilbert Municipal Code covers the oversight of alarm systems, including fees.
• You can dispute a fine. A false alarm assessment can be disputed online within 15 days of the date of the notice.
• Questions go to the Gilbert Alarm Coordinator at alarms@gilbertaz.gov or 480-635-7459.

We help every Gilbert customer register at installation, so your system is on file before the first time it ever goes off.

Gilbert's advice on false alarms, and how we build it in

The Town of Gilbert says "the majority of false alarms are caused by user error." Its prevention tips line up with how we install every system:

• "Make sure that everyone that uses an alarm system is familiar with how the system works." We train the whole household or staff before we leave, and the app lets anyone arm and disarm without racing a keypad.
• "Check windows and doors before activating the alarm system." The panel and app show any open door or window before you arm.
• "Be aware of changes in the environment" like animals, balloons, and seasonal decorations. We place motion detectors where pets, holiday displays, and moving air won't set them off.
• "Equipment should be routinely inspected, batteries changed and the system maintained by a qualified technician." That is what our local service team is for.

Adding cameras takes it one step further. With video verification, operators in our monitoring center can view live video and confirm a real event before police are dispatched.

Home security for Gilbert neighborhoods

If your Gilbert neighborhood has an HOA, it probably has rules on what can go on the outside of a home. We plan camera and floodlight placement around those rules and keep equipment low-profile. A typical Gilbert home system includes:

• Door, window, and motion sensors with a touchscreen panel
• A video doorbell plus outdoor cameras for the driveway, side gate, and backyard pool area
• Smart locks, lights, and thermostat in the same app
• Optional smoke, carbon monoxide, temperature, and water leak sensors

Working with Gilbert police programs

The Gilbert Police Department offers a Vacation Watch for residents, with extra patrol of your property while you are away; submit the request at least a week before you leave. Your monitored system covers the hours in between patrols and alerts you the moment something changes.

For property owners, the department's Crime Prevention Unit also runs programs worth knowing about:

• Authority to Arrest for Trespass form. Property owners and managers can give police "preauthorization to arrest" for criminal trespass, provided the property is posted with "No Trespassing" signs that cite Arizona Revised Statute 13-1502.
• Crime Free "Lite" for rental owners. Owners and managers of Gilbert rental properties can receive daily police calls-for-service reports for their rental address, and the department encourages participants to schedule a complimentary security review with a Crime Prevention Specialist.

Signs set the rules; cameras and remote guarding show you, and police, who is breaking them.

Business security in Gilbert

Gilbert businesses register commercial alarms with the town the same way homes do. We install intrusion detection, cameras, access control, and remote guarding for storefronts, offices, medical practices, and light industrial space, with open and close alerts in the app. See business security systems in Phoenix.

Ready for East Valley heat and monsoons

The City of Phoenix notes that the Valley's monsoon season runs June 15 to September 30, with dust storms, wind, and power outages. We favor shaded mounting points for outdoor cameras and install panels with cellular communication and a backup battery, so your system keeps reporting through an outage.
