What should I do in case of a power outage affecting my security system?

In the event of a power outage affecting a security system monitored by Monitronics, it is important to take several steps to ensure the safety and functionality of the system. Security systems typically have a backup battery to maintain their operation during power interruptions. It is advisable to check the status of the backup battery. If the system is functioning properly, the backup battery should automatically engage when the power goes out. Additionally, it is wise to familiarize oneself with the specific model of the security system used and its features regarding power outages. Some systems may offer alerts or notifications that inform the user when the power is lost and when it is restored. If the backup battery is not working or does not seem to provide adequate power to the system, consider replacing the battery as soon as possible to maintain security. It is also helpful to have a plan in place for such emergencies, including alternative communication methods to reach security professionals if needed. This ensures that there are no delays in responding to potential security concerns. Once power is restored, verify that the security system is functioning normally, and check for any alerts or notifications that may need addressing.
