Many of the features of electronic security systems are futuristic. In the electronic age, you would expect a security system installation to follow suit. This is happening, and the internet, cellular phones, and wireless technology have all impacted security system technology. Cellular phones are now used to relay an alarm signal to a monitoring center. This is a big change, because basic land lines can be easily cut, and then you are relying on the monitoring center to run regular time tests. With cellular back-up, the security system is more “fool-proof” and burglars have a tougher time breaking in without getting caught.

Wireless technology has been an active part of security system technology for years, however it is only now getting to the point where it is as reliable as it should be. Many nationwide companies have used faulty wireless security equipment to make the installation process easier, and as a result the systems they install are often dysfunctional. For example, a friend of mine has an ADT security system and every once in awhile the system goes “ding ding” thinking that a window has opened. This is an example of faulty wireless security equipment.

The internet has been introduced to security system technology very late, but it’s here. Now, you can arm or disarm your security system over the internet with many security manufacturers. Another great technology is security systems that can use a home or businesses network to relay a signal to a monitoring center. It has taken a while for wired and wireless network technology to become reliable enough for a security system to use, but that time is now.

These are all new technologies that security systems can have. Progressive Technology has the capability to install and maintain all of these new security system technologies. If you are interested, call today: (800) 577-2527.

Since 2006, Government Spending on Alarm, signal, and security detection systems has increased every year. In 2006, the federal government spent $577 milion on security systems, and in 2008 the total came to $754 million.

Progressive Technology has held their GSA Contract since 2007. And in that short time, we have gained a reputation of offering high quality security systems, security cameras, door access control and intercom. Our security system customers include Camp Pendleton (Marines), Veterans Affairs, The US Coast Guard, the Air Force, and many others. We have installed security systems for most government agencies across California.

Progressive Technology has been installing security systems in San Diego for over 22 years, and even the oldest systems have lasted far beyond a normal security system. Our competitors might offer cheap (or even free) security systems, but they are only trapping their customers into a long and expensive contract, and installing security systems that do not meet the needs of their customers. This holds true for the government contracts, and that is why Progressive Technology has been able to emerge in the government market.
