Nobles County approves $6,339.57 security-system upgrade, notes $29.95/month cellular monitoring fee
Summary
The board approved a $6,339.57 quote from ElectroWatchman to replace alarm control motherboards and enable cellular alarm transmission; cellular monitoring will add $29.95 per location per month (about $1,078.20/year).
Nobles County approved a security-system equipment purchase and future cellular monitoring on Sept. 25. The board recorded acceptance of an ElectroWatchman quote of $6,339.57 for replacement of motherboards that will enable cellular transmission of alarm signals directly to the vendor for remote monitoring and notifications to dispatch.
Meeting minutes note that cellular monitoring would carry a monthly service fee of $29.95 per location (annualized to $1,078.20). Commissioners moved and seconded the purchase: the motion was brought by Commissioner Chris Dybevick and seconded by Commissioner Robert S. Demuth, and the board "duly passed" the procurement. The record indicates the upgrade will reduce nuisance alarms tied to battery failures and allow remote monitoring and software updates by the vendor; specific installation schedules and the number of monitored locations were not listed in the minutes.
