Here is the reason: UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories, and they have had a very reputable name for decades. Long story short, what they do is they make that central station operate under certain standards. For example, that central station monitoring center must have certain redundant back-ups so if something is to happen to the power, they continue your service. If there is a power outage or power is interrupted in some way, shape or form. Your UL central stations all have back-up power supplies in some cases that can run city blocks. So this way here you know your service is never interrupted when weather is involved. Another thing is the UL approval also has to do with the way the central station is laid out, managed and secured. So therefore, you know that your private information is being properly protected. You know that your security is first and foremost.
So basically, at the end of the day what a UL central station is doing is operating at a higher standard. It's operating at a higher level to insure that you get fast responses to your emergencies. In other videos you're going to hear me talking about verified response monitoring services. UL is very important because you're going to be dealing with high tech, and basically you will know if they are UL approved that you're dealing with a real central station, a reputable one, a quality one. But what is very important, and coming right now, is verified response-monitoring services because the police are reaching a point in many local cities where they won't even respond to an electronically based signal. They want verified response, they want the central station to be able to listen in or look in, which is coming soon. They want to verify that alarm is real so they're not taking their policemen and going over to false alarms. They have no time for that and nothing irritates the police department worse. So verified response is becoming a very big issue. Make sure it's UL approved; UL approved is your insurance policy that you're dealing with a quality central station.
