What happens to my alarm system if the A.C. Power fails?
Your system will remain fully active even in the event of a power failure. All Bevan Security Systems installations provide back up stand-by battery power. If the battery begins to drain, a battery trouble signal will also be sent so it can be replaced even before it goes completely dead. Your Bevan Security Systems Alarm Panel will also report to our central station an A.C. power outage. If you so desire, we can contact you to let you know that the power may be out and needs to be checked. How long will it take to install my system? This all depends upon the size of your system.

If you so desire, we can contact you to let you know that the power may be out to a refrigeration system, computer system, or any other crucial power reliant device.
All security systems installed by Miller Security have a backup battery that should run your alarm system for several hours in case commercial power fails. We offer an additional service where we can configure your system to automatically send a Power Fail signal to our Central Station which will be recorded in your alarm history. If you choose, we can notify you at any number when this happens. This is especially useful if you have a large food freezer, medical equipment, or special pets (tropical birds, fish, etc.).
