iWatch Communications began operating in 2004, filling a niche for a UL central station in the
Northwest that provides a custom experience to alarm dealers. We have grown over the years
and now provide alarm monitoring services to thousands of accounts across the U.S., while
providing dispatching services for multiple companies. Offering 24/7 service is not a simple task,
but iWatch is committed to providing dealers and their clients with advanced technologies and a
professional staff. We exceed expectations by providing a live answering service, dispatching,
alarm monitoring, Proactive Video Monitoring (PVM), 2-way audio, and other various life safety
services.
iWatch Communications is UL approved and Five Diamond certified by TMA, proving our commitment to a higher level of service and a continual effort to reach higher standards. Our mission is to offer dealers peace of mind, and we do this by ensuring a quick and accurate response to all alarms, as well as sustaining a redundancy-rich monitoring center. We provide monitoring to homes, businesses, government facilities, school districts, and more! With the integration of cloud-based monitoring, we enhance reliability and accessibility for both dealers and their clients. We also offer talk-down features, enabling real-time communication during live incidents.
