Titan Alarm and Stryke Alarm Continue to Evolve with the Technological Age

Titan Alarm LogoWe are very proud to announce new cutting edge technologies which are in the process of being developed and introduced for our sales representatives at both Titan Alarm and Stryke Alarm. These technological advances involve applications for Ipad and Android tablets that will revolutionize the manner in which sales representatives perform their challenging work.

The first application is entitled, “Titan On The Go” and “Stryke On The Go”. This application is abbreviated as “TOG” and “SOG”. This application is currently at the testing stage but is anticipated to be released in the near future. The application for the Android is in development. This application will provide the sales representatives and managers with numerous advantages and conveniences accessible from their Ipads while they are out in the field.

The features of this application include but are not limited to enabling representatives to access information about households such as the names of the owners, the property addresses, property values, etc. It also allows representatives to add households and corresponding household information to the application. Representatives will be able to run credit checks directly from the application. The application will include a menu for individuals to input the status of a household such as “Not Interested”, “Not at Home”, “Sale Completed”, etc. Summary reports displaying performance over the last thirty days will be fully accessible for viewing on this application as well as an individual representative’s location for the past thirty days. Managers will have additional available features with this application including the ability to create, assign and delete areas as well as to view the Location and Summary reports of all representatives that report to that Manager.

The second application is called the “TitanSTK” and “StrykeSTK”. This application is ready for release for the Ipad and the application for the Android tablet is in development. This application will afford sales representatives an exceptional opportunity to display both slide shows and videos on the Ipad when visiting with customers. This will enable representatives to showcase extraordinary aspects of the company and its products and services when making their sales presentations. The slide shows include an assortment of topics such as descriptions of the equipment including the two-way voice, the panic pendants, the sensors, the panels, the mobile features displaying how one can perform functions for their security systems from the telephone, etc. There will also be a graph describing the areas of Canada and the United States where the company operates. The available videos will include numerous options such as “Becoming a Titan”, “Titan in One Word”, a video about the culture of the company and the company’s location and office.

The third (3rd) application is entitled, “TitanDash” and “StrykeDash”. This application is currently in development and is anticipated to be available in the next few weeks for the Ipad and in the near future for the Android. This application will replicate the Titan and Stryke Dashboard found on their respective Stats webites. This application is intended to bring a convenience to the sales representatives by enabling them to access these features directly from their Ipads while out in the field. The representatives will have the exceptional features from these websites such as viewing reports, friend comparisons, information summaries, etc.

As an organization, we strive to support our representatives in every way possible including with technological advances that will improve the sales process and also make the customer’s experience more memorable and extraordinary. We are confident that these Ipad applications will provide incredible opportunities for our sales representatives and managers to exponentially increase their potential while working with customers. We are committed to continuing to explore and develop new technology as a means of supporting our sales force. We wish them a spectacular 2012 season.

Revisiting Our Mission - Titan Alarm

Titan Alarm has been steadfast in its mission to save lives since its inception. At all levels and in all departments of the organization, every representative is dedicated to realizing this objective in every aspect of the company’s operations. This includes delivering state-of-the-art quality equipment and monitoring services to our customers as well as continuing to discover technological advances which will yield even better services for our customers to improve their security protection for their homes and families. We seek to provide service from the moment a customer meets with a sales representative and throughout the term of the agreement by extending premium customer service. 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.

While we are committed to achieving this vision for the company, there is nothing more rewarding and there is no greater sense of confirmation that we are performing our work consistent with our mission then when we receive positive feedback from the very people whose lives and homes we are entrusted with the protection of. 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. This customer credited the company with saving the lives of her family after her home had experienced a carbon monoxide leak. As a picture is most definitely worth a thousand words, her email is inserted below with the redaction of the woman’s identity to protect her privacy:

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


Modern security systems provide advantages to homes and other types of buildings. The most common security products are fire alarms. By detecting the presence of fire and changes in the environment, fire and heat alarms sufficiently warn and notify occupants of a building to evacuate the premises for safety. It also functions to report the event to another location so that immediate action to control the fire and smoke can be taken. Burglar alarms are also another type of security device. It protects homes and other facilities with valuable items or information by denying access and intrusion of unauthorized persons. 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. All these kinds of security products provide a great advantage for safety and protection to people and material belongings. While looking for the right devices to use for your home or facility, it is also important to get them from a reliable alarm dealer. Doing so ensures you get products that are in good quality coupled with dependable service. When considering the purchase of security items it is of key importance that it is of good quality to make sure it functions as it should and to avoid false signals.
