Registering for Rapid Response Monitoring Service is fast and easy. We require a signed monitoring agreement or completed on line procedure to activate your monitoring service. You simply supply the address the unit is located, the alarm device ID number (located on the bottom of your master alarm unit), a phone number at the protected premises, additional contact numbers such as cell phone or work phone, and we recommend three parties to contact in the event we cannot reach you during an emergency (friends and family). If your city requires a police permit the alarm company will need to be notified of the registration number. Billing is provided by either debit card or credit card and is hassle free.

Some cities require the alarm subscriber to file for a city police permit. Some permits require an annual fee and in some cities permits are free. Annual fees rarely exceed 30 dollars for the entire year. We recommend you phone the city clerks office or local police department (do not use 911), and always inquire about governing rules regarding police permits in your area.

Anyone who is legally allowed to enter your premises for the purpose of emergency or service should be notified that you have an alarm. LaserShield® offers remote control of your alarm using a secret pin number included with your unit, and any remote telephone or cellular phone. This pin number allows you to phone your premises and disarm the system by remote to allow access for maintenance or landlords.

Breathe easy. LaserShield® can be easily moved to a new location. Just follow the instruction procedures described in your LaserShield® user manual to power the unit down for relocation. You can update your new address using the internet or a fax form. When you plug LaserShield into your new location the service will already be ready and active! Simply test the unit with your new telephone line, and your alarm service and protection is immediately restored.

No. LaserShield® plugs into your existing phone line much like any normal telephone. If the phone jack is currently occupied, LaserShield® incorporates a dual jack on the back so that both units may occupy the same phone jack eliminating the need for any additional hardware. Only the LaserShield® main unit requires a phone line, Wireless Detection Units do not.

A LaserShield® unit covers a 35’ by 35’ area to detect motion. Ideally units should be placed in a corner to cover the main entrance and floor space. The coverage area spans out 110 degrees from wherever the unit is placed. Typically, whatever you can see from this position, the LaserShield® can see. An indicator light illuminates when the LaserShield® detects movement and can be used to “test the units coverage”. A dwelling or office with multiple entrances may require a Wireless Detection Unit. If the unit can be aimed toward a general hallway leading to bedrooms, this is always recommended. Burglars usually search bedrooms for valuables. We recommend the LaserShield® be placed on a table, counter, or bookshelf, preferably 4-6 feet off the floor, and it is always a good idea to purchase an additional sensor to protect the master bedroom. Intruders who seek to obtain small valuables and jewelry that can easily be carried often frequent the master bedroom.

Most LaserShield® Systems are purchased for small apartments, condos, and office suites. They often require only the main unit for adequate protection. Subscribers with larger homes and businesses can expand their LaserShield® protection zones by purchasing LaserShield® Wireless Detection Units. Wireless Detection Units do not require additional phone outlets or wiring. They simply plug into an electrical outlet and communicate through radio wave technology to the main unit. Of course, in any room containing high value items or electronic equipment, we recommend additional units for protection. Main living, office quarters and bedrooms with accessible doors and windows to the outside are always smart to protect. Historically, burglars in residential situations, almost always visit the master bedroom as a primary location

When the LaserShield® detects a burglar the unit activates a 105-decibel siren and immediately uses your existing phone line to signal the 24-hour monitoring service. The monitoring station will work to notify the appropriate authorities and responsible parties who can secure the premises and address the situation in your absence.
Top
Upon activation LaserShield® instantly phones a multi million-dollar central monitoring station via 800 numbers, using your existing telephone line. The monitoring station currently monitors accounts throughout the United States. It is equipped with emergency power, redundant computer systems, and full backup systems. The monitoring station holds an “AA” rating from Underwriting Laboratories who govern, regulate, and rate alarm monitoring stations. All employees are screened, bonded, and highly trained in a variety of emergency scenarios. The Rapid Response monitoring facility handles monitoring for hundreds of thousands of alarm and fire systems across the nation, including high risk retail chains, government installations, and commercial high rise systems.

You can use the alarm while retiring for rest at home. If you have a Wireless Detection Unit in your bedroom, and additional sensors in other areas, the bedside unit/s can be bypassed while sleeping. This feature allows subscribers to move freely in the bypassed areas enabling them to access facilities at night. Even though the Wireless Detection Units are bypassed, panic buttons remain active. The panic button allows you to instantly create an alarm condition if they hear or see a sign of a potential danger or intrusion.

No. LaserShield® uses a proprietary toll free 800-phone number to contact the central station.

Pet owners can quickly retrieve their pet blocker lens included with their alarm and apply it to the LaserShield® motion sensor in seconds. The “pet blocker lens” narrows the detection corridor of the motion sensor and lifts the coverage off the floor so pets can pass safely beneath the area of detection. Pets can be tricky and are known to jump on furniture and other items. We recommend pet owners refer to the user manual included the system for expert instruction on unit placement when pets are involved. Often, pet issues can be resolved by simply isolating pets from the main coverage area.

LaserShield® alarms are equipped with back up battery systems. If the system loses power and switches to emergency battery power the monitoring station will be notified and the company will contact you to inquire about the condition. Master alarm unit batteries are rechargeable. Wireless Detection Unit batteries do not recharge but last for up to five years.
Top
To test the alarm, simply notify the central monitoring station by phone and inform them you are going to test the unit. After the station is notified, arm the system. After one minute move in front of the system which will trigger the alarm. Do not disarm the system using your remote control until the siren begins to ring. After the siren rings, disarm the system with your remote, and contact the central monitoring station to verify they received a signal. Always inform the central monitoring station when your test will begin and when your testing is complete. Pressing panic buttons can also create instant alarms for testing.

LaserShield® can be armed or disarmed by remote using a five digit access code using any remote telephone or cellular phone. You can purchase replacement remotes by contacting the LaserShield® Customer Care department. If you lose your remote you can also use a secret emergency shutdown feature to disarm the alarm. The emergency shut down feature is different for every LaserShield® unit and is described in your instruction manual.

Immediately disarm the alarm system. The monitoring station will rapidly attempt to contact your residence before contacting the authorities. If you provide your secret passcode, the alarm will be cancelled. You may also phone Rapid Response Monitoring Service directly to cancel an accidental alarm response.
