How's All-American Alarm Monitoring?

[Pool_Player]

Over the last few years, it seems, I've gotten a lot of post card that
advertised All-American Alarm Monitoring.

Anyone ever use them? Good or bad?

RHC: Wow !! Weekly test report = one dispatch = $80 fine= $320 per
month monitoring ! Jeez....I wish I could charge that kind of rate !!
A hell of a station you got there....))

Your claim is hard to believe. Are you saying there were four dispatches
(police and/or fire and/or ambulance), one week after the other, for
each of four weeks, and nothing was done by the responsible alarm
installation company to investigate the reasons for the wrongful
dispatches and nothing was done to find an early resolution to the
problem with All-American Monitoring? It's hard to believe that the
responsible alarm installation company would let the tests continue
after, say, the second wrongful dispatch. A third false dispatch after a
test would be irresponsible, and a fourth would be absolutely
ridiculous. So, I think it's more likely that either the alarm
installation company did not perform the tests properly, or it never
happened to begin with. If it did happen like you said, then it's the
responsible alarm installation company's fault for not finding an early
resolution to the problem. Also, it's not my station. I work for an
alarm company seeking an alternative monitoring company to outsource our
monitoring services. Do you represent or work for an alarm monitoring
company?

What?! You now sound like a spammer promoting All American with your query
and then getting pissed because somebody posted how they had a bad
experience. Then you totally misread what somebody else posted in
commentary about that and went off the deep end. Good luck. Your little
charade totally failed. I was actually considering All American atleast in
passing, but you made me decide to send them a demand letter to remove my
address from their mailing list instead. Good job.

I doubt it's a spammer, he'd have posted a link telling everyone to go
then come back and say what they think, list all of the services
offered by the station in far greater detail than a normally curious
person would do, then he'd tell how great his service with them while
appearing concerned about potential long-term issues which is why he's
supposedly here in the first place.

Besides while I know nothing about All American I seriously doubt they
or any other monitoring station have to resort to spamming a small
newsgroup like this for business.

What about co-operative central stations? LOL. Or don't they count?

I was just busting the guy Mark. You should have played along. Oh, well.
It still amused me for a minute this morning.

Ve run it in zee goot ol Nazi tradition. If you caas a fals
halam ....... you vill DIE!

Oops, I guess I got the wrong board. This must be Comedy Alarm Central.

Actually, like I said earlier, I'm not at all affiliated with All
American. I was hoping for an answer that included some information that
supported their positive or negative recommendation. It sounded more
like a hasty consumer complaint, which didn't make sense to me. Would
you let false dispatches continue 3 more times knowing that each one
would cost your customer $80?

 

[Pool_Player]

well except for dispatching the police for a weekly test (repeatedly),
they do about an average job..

OK, thanks for your info.

 

[Pool_Player]

Thanks for your detailed reply. Sorry, I mistook tourman's (RHC's) reply
for yours. I wasn't expecting any comments from the peanut gallery.
Anyways, If I was to do any business with AA, I would make sure they
understood that a weekly test doesn't include a police dispatch.
Regarding formats, AA claims to have phone lines securely buried all the
way to the phone company’s central office. Since it's all fiber from
there to the rest of the country's central offices, the format used
would depend on the quality of the link between the customer panel and
its local central office. Most likely, 4/2 will work fine for me, like
always.

More comments from the peanut gallery?

 

[Pool_Player]

I'm not interested in hearsay or second-hand analysis.

Rockytsquirrel has already explained his problem with AA in detail, and
I'm thankful for him sharing his experience with that firm.

Did you have any DIRECT experience with AA in the past? If so, please
explain.

If not, I would like to hear from others who had any DIRECT experience
with AA.

What again? More dumb comments from the peanut gallery?
Does this guy ever stop?

 

[Pool_Player]

What again? More dumb comments from the peanut gallery?
Does this guy ever quit? I think he needs to get laid or something.

 

[Pool_Player]

What again? More dumb comments from the peanut gallery?
Does this guy ever quit with his whacky logic and childish comments?

Ask me if I care about getting any support from chuckleheads like you.


Overall, I did get some useful information from this board, not much,
but it'll do for my purposes.

Thanks to all who contributed to answering my question.
I bid you all FAREWELL.

Oh, by the way, my email was just temporary for his board. I'm deleting
it since I don't need it any more. But I might come back later if I need
any more info. I'll just use another login so I won't get harassed by
idiots like you. You know, you really ought to shut your mouth unless
you're spoken to. You'll get in less trouble that way.

 

[JoeRaisin]

I seriously doubt Jim or anyone else will be emailing you, it's just
not something we do

But, Mark, you don't understand. He's the biggest thing to hit this ng
in years. Of COURSE we are all just chomping at the bit for a chance to
email him and... well... I don't know what - but must be something bad
or he wouldn't have run away in the dark of night, covering his tracks
and what-not.

Besides, with a fella like that... wait... who were we talking about?
Crap - I done forgot him already...

RHC: Hehehehe.....you can be SO very tactful when you want to
be....)))

Yeah, I guess we found whom the next "pot stirrer" will be.

 

[G. Morgan]

Most likely, 4/2 will work fine for me, like
always.

Why would you use 4/2 regularly? Are you installing Moose panels?

 

[G. Morgan]

Did somebody say, "Moooooooooose???"

Hail to the MOOOOOOOOOOse!
