The Many Advantages of Mobile Applications

Titan Alarm is proud to be able to offer to our customers some of the most technologically advanced mobile applications as a complement to their Titan Alarm security systems. Mobile applications allow our customers to control virtually all of the features of their security system without having to be in their homes or businesses to do so. Specifically, without the advantages afforded by mobile applications, customers needed to have access to their security system panels in their homes or at their businesses to activate or deactivate their security systems as well as to control other aspects of their systems. However, with the advent of mobile applications, controlling one’s security is available with the click of a button using one’s mobile device such as an IPhone, Blackberry, Android or Smartphone. With these mobile applications, a person can use their mobile device to activate or deactivate their security system. These mobile applications are available for free download to your mobile device.

The mobile application initially allows a person to see the status of their security system on their mobile device such as whether their system is armed or disarmed. It also enables the person to see the status of their different sensors via the history section of the application. There is also an option for live steaming video provided the proper camera has been installed. In addition to these features, you can also program your mobile device to receive alerts based upon certain events so that you may monitor the safety of your home and family when you are not there to take care of this yourself. For example, you can set up an alert to be notified every time that the front door is opened or every time the liquor cabinet is opened or every time the garage door is opened, etc. Your mobile device can send you an alert every time one of these events that you choose occurs. This will allow you to monitor the events in your home even while you are away on vacation, at work or otherwise not able to be a home. You can individually customize your application to be notified of the events which are important for your household or business.

Mobile applications provide virtual security for individuals in our busy modern world. It allows people to have control over their security even when they do not have the luxury of being at home to be in close physical proximity to their home security panels. With the proper free mobile applications, security may be controlled through a few quick taps on your mobile device. Titan Alarm is thrilled to be able to make this available to our customers.

To achieve this vision, the company employs a superior group of customer loyalty personnel, technicians, compliance experts, and legal counsel to properly support our loyal customers.

When we discover that our two way system allowed one of our customers to successfully communicate with the monitoring center to get the necessary emergency service provider to the customer’s home, we derive an incredible sense of satisfaction. On the date of May 4, 2012, the company was the recipient of an email from a customer who thanked the company for saving the lives of herself and her family.

2008 Canada Robbery Stats


Residential robberies stable since 2005

Residential robberies are sometimes associated with the term “home invasion”. Using data from the UCR survey, home invasion can be defined in two ways. The first “narrow” definition simply includes all robberies that occur in a residential dwelling, as reflected in Table 4. The second “broad” definition includes robberies that occur in a residential dwelling as well as break and enters that have an associated violent offence. Regardless of which definition is used, the upward trend to 2005, followed by relative stability, is similar (Chart 6).

Chart 6
Police-reported home invasion, Canada, 1999 to 2008

Using the narrow definition, the rate of police-reported home invasions rose by 38% between 1999 and 2005 and has remained stable since. In 2008, approximately 2,700 such incidents came to the attention of police. The census metropolitan area of Hamilton reported the highest rate of residential robberies in the country. Using the broad definition of home invasion, however, the rates in Thunder Bay and Saskatoon were slightly higher than in Hamilton.

Previous research shows older adults (65 years and older) to be less likely than younger age groups to be victimized by violent crime, including robbery (Ogrodnik, 2007). That said, older adults tend to be at greater risk for home invasion than for other types of robbery.7 In 2008, 6% of victims involved in a home invasion were 65 years or older, compared to 3% who were robbed on the street or other outdoor public location and 2% who were robbed in a commercial or institutional establishment. About 2% of victims of total violent crime in 2008 were 65 years or older.

Information on robberies that have been solved by police shows that most robberies are committed by strangers, regardless of the particular location of the incident. However, residential robberies (i.e. “home invasions”) tend to involve strangers less often than those that occur in commercial locations or on the street. In 2008, 63% of all home invasions were committed by strangers compared to about 90% of other robberies. A substantial portion of residential robberies were committed by acquaintances8 of the victim (28%), some of which may have involved the settling of accounts stemming from illegal activity.
Solved incidents also provide information on persons accused of robbery. These data show that robberies tend to involve multiple accused more often than other types of violent crime, particularly when the robbery occurs in a residence. In 2008, 11% of total robberies and 17% of residential robberies were committed by two or more accused persons. In comparison, 6% of incidents involving other violent crimes involved multiple accused.

The Advantage and Benefits of Reliable Security Systems

Business establishments, warehouses, banks, and other similar buildings need this type of physical security. With motion sensors, door/window sensors, glass break sensors and garage door sensors, among others, these places are protected using a combination of defensive principles designed to deter, delay, detect and respond. In some places there is also a need for freeze alarms and water/flood alarms which function similar to fire alarms but for monitoring the respective elements. Over the recent years, panic alarms and other types of personal alarms have also become popular security devices.

Panic alarms are suitable for the disabled or elderly allowing them to be independent while knowing that they can call for help any time they need to. In most cases, a combination of several of these different types of alarms can be installed in one home or facility and integrated into a system for easy operation and monitoring.

Instead, the one hundred and twenty participants insisted upon going above and beyond by both donating significant earnings from their sales but also giving their time and energies by traveling the globe and working on important projects within the local communities in rather primitive conditions. This level of devotion and sacrifice is a source of inspiration not only to the people they are helping, but even more to the participants themselves. For most of the participants, this experience will be a welcome return to the uniquely rewarding work that can only come from making a difference in the lives of those in genuine need.

The trip is being organized by Elisa Taylor who has over nine years of experience in coordinating trips with a charitable purpose. Elisa has a unique vision and commitment to insure that the vision of Titan to see that its donations reach its intended recipients is realized. Elisa has worked with Graham Wood, Titan’s founder on similar projects and they share the same aspiration for this Kenya venture. Elisa has been and continues to work tirelessly on exploring opportunities for the Kenya trip. The Kenya trip will begin on November 7, 2011 and will conclude on November 21, 2011. The first three days will be spent in Amsterdam where Elisa has arranged some exciting sightseeing opportunities including a canal boat tour, a visit to the Van Gough museum, and a tour around the city of Amsterdam.

On November 10, 2011, everyone will fly to Nairobi and will spend two nights in the main area to become immersed in the Kenyan culture. Elisa has arranged for several activities in Nairobi including a tour of the city, time in the national park within the city with an opportunity to see many of what are referred to as the big five animals such as elephants, lions, etc. On Saturday, November 12, 2011, Titan will have the distinct honor of seeing the first tangible results of its magnanimous donations when it visits the elephant sanctuary where ten elephants that have been saved and sponsored due to the generous donations of the Titan Alarm family are thriving. These donations will provide meals, medical care, assistance, caretaker fees, etc. for an entire year. These elephants are in need of care for various reasons including having been injured, having been separated from their mothers, etc. Each elephant will take on the name of the ten sales teams. These fortunate elephants are only the first of many recipients of the Titan Alarm generosity. There will be opportunities to take photographs with these precious elephants and their proud sponsors.

On Sunday, November 13, 2011, everyone will be travelling to the community approximately five hours outside of the city of Nairobi in Amboseli where they will begin the most challenging work for the trip. At this time, Elisa is investigating several different projects for the Titan Alarm participants to work on. However, it has been narrowed down to several vitally important and essential projects. One project would involve assisting in both the purchasing and installation of twenty-four three thousand gallon plastic water tanks for family homes in this area. This would accomplish an integral service for these families as it would enable them to have a vital function which they currently are lacking. A second possible project would involve the building of homes for families similar to the project which took place in Honduras. A third possible project would involve coordinating with the local communities to build schools. Regardless of which project is ultimately selected, all one hundred and twenty participants will work diligently on the project from November 14, 2011 till Saturday, November 19, 2011. The project will involve an enormous commitment of intensive hard but rewarding work. After each day of work, everyone will return to a lovely hotel in the Nairobi area to be arranged by Elisa.

Titan Alarm derives an incredible sense of pride in promoting this trip to Kenya. We thank Elisa Taylor for her hard work and dedication in helping Titan to achieve its mission. Titan looks forward to the many lessons and enlightenment it will gain from this adventure.

Reliance Protectron 2011 Circle of Excellence Awards


Titan Alarm LTD was the proud recipient of several dealer awards at the Reliance Protectron 2011 Circle of Excellence Awards ceremony held in Ottawa, Ontario on October 3, 2011. Graham Wood, the President of Titan Alarm LTD and Tyler Hatch, the Vice President of Sales Operations, represented Titan Alarm LTD at the presentation. These awards were particularly meaningful since Titan Alarm only recently became affiliated as a dealer with Reliance Protectron in April of 2011. Reliance Protectron currently works with one hundred and forty-eight (148) dealers. As such, Titan Alarm had extensive competition for these honors. Notwithstanding this competition, Titan Alarm was recognized for its extraordinary achievements at this ceremonial event. Titan Alarm LTD was given the “Life Safety”, “Diamond” and “Noteworthy” dealer awards in acknowledgment for its outstanding performance as a dealer in the Reliance Protectron dealer network.

Titan Alarm was the designated winner of the “Life Safety” dealer award. The criteria for the Life Safety award is that it is given to the dealer with the highest percentage of overall sales that include a life safety component such as a smoke or CO. Notwithstanding Titan Alarm’s recent membership into the Reliance Protectron network, it still achieved the requisite highest percentage to qualify for this award. During the presentation, the company was specifically recognized for its commitment to honoring its vision of prioritizing the protection of families and for incorporating the inclusion of at least one life safety device into all of its sales. Titan Alarm LTD is extremely proud of this particular award because it confirms that it is abiding by its core values.

Titan Alarm LTD was also presented with the Noteworthy Performance dealer award. This award was extremely meaningful to the company because the presentation of this award recognized virtually every facet of the company’s structure in realizing this achievement. Titan Alarm was credited with its strong company culture, exceptional sales paradigm in selling longer term contracts, establishing a state-of-the-art call center to support all of its operations, achieving a record production of fifteen thousand accounts and inspiring Reliance to take its own organization to the next level. The entire organization takes great pride in this accomplishment.

Titan Alarm LTD was also the recipient of the “Diamond Dealer” award. The criteria for this award is to achieve over one thousand and eight hundred sales between August 2010 and July 2011. Titan Alarm most definite exceeded this level of production. Titan’s highly impressive sales production was again recognized during the presentation of this award. Titan Alarm LTD would like to thank Reliance Protectron for hosting the 2011 Circle of Excellence dealer awards ceremony. It is extremely rewarding to be recognized by an organization that has been unequivocally supportive, professional and provided quintessential industry leadership to our organization as a dealer. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.

Protection from Property Crimes


For many homeowners, property crimes can be a source of concern and trepidation. Property crimes include burglary, larceny, theft, arson and vandalism which involve the taking (or damaging, in the case of arson and vandalism) of money without force or threat of force to a victim. There is also the concern of robbery which involves force or threat of force and/or putting the victim in fear and is considered a violent crime. This can be more disturbing because the safety and well-being of people are also at risk. Although reported cases have decreased over the recent years, it still occurs in many states. Homes are mostly filled with “hot products” such as cash, jewelry, electronics and gadgets that are easily targeted because they are valuable, removable, concealable, and can be easily disposed. Any home and even secured banks and commercial establishments can be victimized by criminals. These crimes are major issues that can be avoided with the use of modern security equipment.

There are now many devices that are designed to detect unauthorized entry and send alerts for proper action. These devices use sensors by passive infrared motion, ultrasound, vibration, electric or magnetic fields, or microwaves. Motion sensors and glass break sensors are usually installed at main doors, windows, and garage doors since they are also the most common entries used by burglars or robbers. Motion sensors detect the opening and closing of doors and windows, as well as drawers, cabinets and other items. Most alarm dealers suggest individual devices be connected to create a system for easy application and monitoring. Some people also include fire protection in their alarm system. Heat alarms, freeze alarms and flood/water sensors can be easily integrated into any alarm system. A dependable security alarm company can provide good quality equipment and services for the protection of homes or any facility.

In Alberta, Canada, homeowners can go to Titan Alarm for their security and protection needs. Titan Alarm Security Company provides equipment as well as security packages to meet the needs of any customer. This alarm company aims to provide the feeling of security and serenity that is most valuable and sought after by home and business owners. Protecting loved ones and valuable possessions is easy with Titan Alarm Company.

Dangers and Preventive Measures for Fires Tips from Titan Alarm Ltd.


Titan Alarm LTD is committed to continually researching the methodologies used for fire prevention so that it may deliver state-of-the-art technologies to its subscribers designed for the prevention, detection and termination of fire for the promotion of household safety.

In the pursuit of this aspiration, Titan Alarm regularly reviews industry publications to discover current studies and trends with respect to systems being utilized for fire safety so that its own equipment will be commensurate with these developments. We recently came across an article which may be located at the following website: http://www.edmontonjournal.com/mobile/iphone/story.html?id=5151244. This article entitled, “Fighting Fire With Fire” describes the extraordinary efforts and accomplishments of an expert by the name of George Hadjisophocleous to study the causes and effects of fire as well as numerous methods of fire detection, prevention methods of extinguishing fires. This article describes the incredible and continuing voyage of discovery of this insightful engineer as he continues to study the impact of various methods of fire detection and termination of existing fires.

In the article, the author references numerous important facts about fires which we at Titan Alarm believe are highly significant and compelling and merit repetition. The reason we believe these facts to be of such importance and urgency is because in so many cases, the fires were deemed to be preventable. As such, when such tragedy can be averted, logic would dictate that proper preventative measures should be taken to safeguard against fire related issues. These facts include but are not limited to the following:

The article indicates that between the years 2000 and 2009, 40% of the fatal fires in the Ontario area occurred between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The article continues to state that half of these fires were considered to be PREVENTABLE by the Office of the Fire Marshall.The article indicates that 86% of 833 fatal fires involved residential fires. The article isolates the causes of many of these fatal house fires to the following: cigarette smoking (17%), arson (13%) cooking (10%), mishandled matches or lighters (6%), electrical wiring problems (4%) or candles (3%). The article states that in 36% of these situations the smoke alarms were either not present or not operating properly.

The article references a 2004 study by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology which found that the typical modern fire smoulders longer, but burns hotter and faster than when smoke alarms were introduced in the 1970s. Ultimately, these facts suggest that a significant percentage of fatal fires may be prevented with the proper preventative measures being taken. This does not even address the issue of non-fatal fires which also present significant dangers to homes and families. Titan Alarm LTD is proud to be part of an industry that is working toward becoming part of the solution to reducing theses fire related tragedies.

Charity Begins at Home


It is an integral part of the mission of Titan Alarm, Ltd. to honor a steadfast commitment to give back the global community which has generously enabled it to realize such success. Such charity takes the form of both monetary donations as well as contributions of time and energy to important and worthwhile humanitarian causes. The Chief Executive Officer of Titan Alarm believes strongly in the concept of leading by example and his history of personal sacrifice and magnanimous bequests serve as noble illustrations of the behavior that the company seeks for its staff members to aspire to.

Graham Woods has always aimed to extend beyond his entrepreneurial ambitions and to give back to those less fortunate. One of Graham’s most gratifying experiences involved a personal journey he took to Honduras. He accompanied a group of people for two (2) weeks during which he worked tirelessly one a project which successfully raised one hundred and eighty thousand dollars ($180,000.00). However, this trip was not limited to monetary fund raising efforts. Graham participated in a true labor of love constructing four (4) homes for needy families and helping to restore electricity to another eight (8) homes for families desperately in need of the most basic supplies. The level of satisfaction from this venture is immeasurable.

Graham considered himself to be blessed with another opportunity to assist a family to realize its dreams. Specifically, Graham was able to grant the family of a twenty-two (22) year old terminally ill woman their final wish. This woman’s last wish was to take a trip to Ireland with her family. Graham financed this entire trip for her family.Graham derived an indescribably sense of satisfaction from being able to share the good fortune that he has received with a family in crisis.

Titan Alarm plans to continue in the fine tradition which Graham Wood has brilliantly begun. The organization will instill the values of charity in every aspect of the company. It will incorporate these concept in several programs including but not limited to company holiday donations to various charities, company matching of donations by representatives, etc.

Titan Alarm Celebrates the Achievements of Women in the Workplace

Titan Alarm LTD is proud to celebrate the success of its female team members who have challenged several traditional stereotypes about gender roles in the workplace. Specifically, Titan Alarm has many female representatives who have triumphed in the alarm security industry. As an organization, we consider ourselves to be the incredibly fortunate beneficiaries of these highly motivated, dedicated, talented and hard working individuals. As an equal opportunity employer, we are most grateful to have such extraordinary individuals working at our organization. 

Titan Alarm is based upon a door-to-door sales model in which the sales force has traditionally been dominated by males. However, we are beyond thrilled that our female representatives have proven that they are a force to be reckoned with as demonstrated by their exceptional sales performance. For example, one of our female sales representatives was the number one (1) sales representative for all of Canada and the number two (2) sales representative for the entire company for the 2011 sales season. This individual has been promoted to the position of Assistant Manager for the 2012 sales season. Another female sales representative was the number three (3) sales representative in Canada and the number four (4) sales representative for the entire company for the 2011 sales season. This individual has also been promoted to the position of Assistant Manager for the 2012 sales season. These are just a couple of examples of the outstanding achievements of the talented female sales representatives that Titan is proud to count among its amazing sales team.

Another position which has typically been exclusively occupied by males is that of technicians. Titan Alarm regularly utilizes the services of technicians to install its alarm security systems and accompanying equipment. This requires expertise in being mechanical and having a capability for working with one’s hands and addressing technical issues within the homes and businesses of its customers. Titan Alarm is extremely proud of the fact that it employs females in this capacity. These talented female technicians have embraced the opportunity to be trained in and work in the area of installing alarm security systems and handling the challenges associated with the installation of alarms.

Titan Alarm has always embraced the opportunity to capitalize on the talent and expertise of female individuals in the workplace. The call center utilized by Titan Alarm employs females in numerous capacities in what are often referred to as more traditional female roles including but not limited to its Director of Operations, Account Managers, Human Resources Director, Data Entry Representatives, Finance and Accounting Professionals and Customer Loyalty Representatives. However, as an organization, we are most particularly excited about our female team members who are challenging the status quo and embarking on a new course in these non-traditional roles. We applaud their achievements and look forward to the 2012 season in which we are confident that they will continue to realize even higher goals.

About Titan Alarm

The mission of Titan Alarm is to deliver to our entire customer base the genuine sense of serenity that comes from knowing that the people in your life and the possessions you have worked so hard to acquire in your home and business are safe and protected.

To enable this dream to become a reality, Titan Alarm has performed a comprehensive needs assessment of its eclectic customer group to determine how it can best satisfy this diverse group of security needs.

Titan also insures that it retains the services of highly qualified and trained individuals so that our customers deal exclusively with capable representatives. 

Titan also recognizes that security needs have extended beyond simply those of a state-of-the-art security system. While we most certainly savor the opportunity to enhance our customers’ lives with such systems, we also are pleased to respond to the other needs of our customers including but not limited to providing and enabling independent living to individuals who may have been deprived of this privilege without the benefits yielded by the technological advances of the Medical Pendant.  We are so pleased to be able to bring these advantages to our customers and their family members who love and care about them. 

It is our heartfelt vision to see our image as reflected by our customers as an organization that strives not to be the largest organization, but the one most responsive to and focused upon its customers’ security needs. If our customers feel safe and protected, we know that we are doing our job.
