SWAT SPECIAL SERVICES. INC.
SWAT - Protecting God's World - Serving His People
SWAT Special Services, a Christ - based company, owes its roots to the hard work of its owner, Alan Mills, a former police officer, started in the Alarm industry when there were very few control panels, and virtually no affordable video for anyyone.
From the 1970's through today, a vast evolution has been happening within the industry. Single loop circuits evolved into multiple zone controls that, when programmed properly, detect opens, shorts, overcurrents, tampers, and not only detect burglaries and fires and report them via Central Stations to authorities, but also will control lighting, HVAC, make your office or home more usable, and even start the morning coffee.
Video evolved from cumbersome high voltage (110 volt) cameras and time lapse video tape recorders, to discrete cameras and digital video (and audio), capable of being recorded on computer hard drives and being transmitted around the world via the Internet. I.P. Cameras may be connected directly to a LAN or the Internet for direct transmission. Cameras may be equipped with infrared LED's that will illuminate and allow the cameras to see in total darkness.
SWAT Special Services has worked with customers over the past two decades who have stayed with us as we have grown, downsized, and have grown again. We have installed hundreds of home alarm and business alarm, telephone, intercom, and central vacuum systems in central and southern Indiana. Though a locally owned entity, we have out-performed many companies out there.
Many customers have called the bigger companies, only to find out that they don't know how to deal with their needs.
It is that "Personal Touch" that we insist on, that gains our trust. Every service we perform is custom designed for the client's needs. From a tiny modest cabin or house to mansions costing millions of dollars; to million-dollar yachts; to 16-story hotels; from a single small church to an International Ministry; from Texas to Russia - WE SERVE!
We have been known to stay on service calls until the wee hours in the morning, once on a snowy Christmas Eve, in order for a business owner to go home knowing that his business was secure. - WE SERVE!
From installing a simple driveway sensor to installing underwater, watertight speakers in a swimming pool - WE SERVE!
If you are considering some sort of security in the area bounded by I-74, U.S. 50, I-65, and the Illinois State Line, give us a call. Let us show you some professional trust. We welcome special projects in other states, as well.
WE DO WHAT OTHERS DON'T. Most Security Alarm companies, especially the big ones (ADT, Brinks, Protection One, etc.) and most Indiana firms only monitor alarms for the actual alarm condition: Fire, Burglary, Hold-up, etc. SWAT monitors alarms for ALL supervisory signals, as well - such as AC Power Failure, Low Battery conditions, Fire Alarm Troubles, Siren Tampers, and Others. We also monitor restorals for all conditions, while others do not. Additionally, we program a periodic "Test" signal to be transmitted, on a daily or weekly basis, to the Central Station, to insure the workability of the Alarm Control Panel,and the Telephone lines. Any failure of this signal will cause an exception report to occur. Upon receipt of this "Failure to Test" report, we (SWAT) will call the customer and relay this failure to them. Perhaps some remodeling work was performed or the phone company had been working in the premise since the last previous test. The customer then may test his system, and/or request service to rectify the problem. Other companies do not want to "bother" their central station employees with such "unnecessary (in their minds)" data. Some alarm customers, unknowingly, have gone years without protection because their companies did not choose to program this feature, all the while paying for assumed protection. WOE BE TO THE CONSUMER. Something so innocent as adding DSL to a phone line has left many a customer without protection. The "test signal" failure will detect such.
Choosing a security system to protect your property, whether it is home, business, office, farm, church, camp, or something else, is a serious proposition and should not be taken lightly. You are going to entrust your most valued possessions to a complete stranger. Often, however, it is easier to trust an outside contractor than it is your own employee or even family member.
Hundreds of clients have done just that - put their faith in SWAT Security Systems - over the past twenty years. We have held the security of our customers' homes and businesses very discretely, and privately. The very knowledge of your habits, access to your property and the close interpersonal relationship we conduct with you should be your utmost concern.
SWAT has now, and in the past had, access to the vital security that you may not trust to anyone else. We take our relationship with clients seriously, and will be forever responsible for your safety, security, and piece of mind.
We have often been called upon by clients to perform services not covered by most normal company criteria. One client had us ferry cars to Florida for his company personnel to use. Another had us connect the lady artist's studio to her horses, nursery, and kitchen. We have walked / fed dogs, taken children to and from school and/or daycare, waited for other service companies, checked up on family members when the parents were out of town. We have worked on projects that have long been signed off on by other companies. We have taught clients' employees and other staff to perform their own installation and service, thus allowing them to save time and money. We have always been able to take special projects and assemble / design / build special systems or applications to handle those special needs. From devising a means to operate antiquated gates, to keeping tabs on young students in outlying cabins, to unique intercom systems, to engineering "in the field" devices to work under extenuating circumstances. We utilize systems to their fullest extent when possible, such as multiple outputs controlling everything from localized horns to unlocking doors and gates, to indicating lights for doctors' offices, to pump controls, to industrial process supervision, to key control, to swimming pool access, and the list goes on.............
