You’ve already taken the most important step: securing your business with a professionally installed system. Whether you’re using video, access control, fire detection, or intrusion monitoring, your system is protecting people, property, and operations every day.
But here’s something we see often. Customers don’t always realize how much more their system can do.
At Intense Fire and Burglar Alarms, we don’t just install equipment and move on. We stay involved. Our goal is to help you get the most from the system you already have. That might mean activating underused features or expanding coverage in ways that fit your space and operations. The good news? Most of the time, you don’t need to replace a thing.
Want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your system?
We offer system reviews to help you unlock features you might not be using yet.

Features You Might Not Be Using (Yet)
The systems we install usually have more capability than most businesses take advantage of on day one. That makes sense. When you’re opening a location or focusing on daily operations, exploring every feature may not be a top priority.
For example, Alarm.com users often don’t realize they can manage user codes remotely, create real-time notifications, or automate schedules. Most just arm and disarm the system and stop there.
Brivo and Cantec access control systems include audit logs, temporary credentials, and scheduling tools. Unless someone asks for those features during setup, they may never get turned on.
If you’re using CHeKT for video verification, it may be capable of sending alert-triggered visual clips to a monitoring center. But if motion-only alerts were chosen at install, you might be missing that extra layer of clarity.
All of these features already exist in many systems we install. Most of them can be turned on or customized with just a short visit or a quick configuration update.
Remote Tools That Simplify Your Day
Modern security systems aren’t just locked inside your building. If you’re using cloud-connected platforms like Alarm.com, Brivo, or OpenEye, you already have access to tools that let you control and monitor your system from anywhere.
You can arm or disarm your system from your phone, view live or recorded video while off-site, and adjust access permissions when staffing changes happen. You can also set up alerts for specific activity, such as a door opening after hours or someone entering a restricted space. These tools are already part of most modern installations. If you’re not using them yet, we can show you how. It takes just a few minutes and can save you time every week.
When Should You Ask for a System Review?
If it’s been more than a year since we installed your system, or if anything significant has changed at your business, now might be a good time to check in.
A review makes sense if you’ve expanded your layout, added new employees, or changed your hours. It also helps if you’ve relocated equipment, adjusted shelving, or had a recent incident like a false alarm. Even if nothing major has happened, it’s a smart way to make sure your system still fits your current workflow.
We’ll walk through how everything is performing and suggest any easy improvements that may help strengthen protection or simplify day-to-day use.
Small Adjustments, Big Impact
You don’t need a major upgrade to get more from your system. In most cases, small adjustments go a long way.
You might benefit from adding a water sensor in a utility closet, installing one more camera to cover a blind spot, or activating monitoring in a temperature-sensitive area like a server room. These changes typically use the infrastructure you already have in place. We’ve designed your system to be flexible, and our job is to help you make the most of it.
Why It Matters
Getting more from your system isn’t about adding more equipment. It’s about making sure the technology you already invested in is doing its job as well as it can.
When your system is optimized, you reduce false alarms, cut down on service calls, and get clearer insights from your reports and video footage. You also respond faster when something happens and stay better informed day to day.
Most of all, your system keeps up with how your business evolves, rather than falling behind.
Let’s take a fresh look at your system and see what’s possible.
