What we do

Fire Alarm Solutions

Protect your people and your property - when it matters most.

Where can Point Monitor step in to help you?

Consultation: Point Monitor can help assess code needs based upon occupancy type, occupant load, local codes and national codes.

Professional design services: Functionality needs to be paired with aesthetics. We create systems that achieve both. Our team of full-time system designers will generate shop drawings that exceed the standards of building officials, detailing everything from device types and floor plans to voltage drop and current draw, device addresses and spare capacity.

Installation: We employ over 50 Oregon and Washington state licensed technicians who are versed in our company-wide construction and installation standards.

Programming: Our skilled programmers are factory-trained and versed in the requirements of NFPA 72 to make sure your system performs the right way when it matters most.

Commissioning: We walk the site and perform a full 100% pretest for every system we touch, notating and correcting deficiencies before the building final so that every final inspection is a walk in the park.

Parts and smarts: we consult, design, program and commission systems installed by hundreds of different electrical contractors in the Pacific Northwest.

Training: Our technicians and service managers take the time to understand questions and provide down-to-earth training so our customers are equipped with the knowledge they need in a fire emergency.

Service: If your system fails to perform properly or is giving you a “trouble” condition, our response department is available 24/7/365 to meet your needs (after-hours rates apply).

Periodic testing: We help keep your system in compliance through periodic testing and preventive maintenance. We can even bundle our testing packages with sprinkler testing to keep your entire building compliant and ready for action.

Monitoring: We provide reliable, supervising station monitoring services so that upon a fire event, the fire department is dispatched immediately.

Solutions delivered: For over 20 years, we’ve been in the business of solutions. There’s never a one-size-fits-all fire alarm solution. How can we help you with your fire alarm project? Let us know right away.

I honestly can't say enough good things about Point Monitor. This team for Point Monitor included Brook, Jon, Tawnia, and Francis. I recently worked on a new project for the New Installation of a Fire Alarm System. They were absolutely outstanding. This was for a National Account of mine, and was a rush job from the get go, with a timeframe of 4 weeks from bid proposal to commissioning the system with AHJ. The TOP-NOTCH communication, readiness for the unforeseen issues that came up, quick design and submittal process, overtime on nearly no notice, and knowledge of codes and standards were all the reasons why this project was so successful. I can't thank them enough for this. With that said, I will be using Point Monitor for any future work I get in the area. I highly highly recommend Point Monitor to anyone looking for Life Safety related system in the area.

Point Monitor helped me at my facility to update my fire alarm and response system. We have had an issue with some false positives sending the alarm off randomly as well as inaccurate descriptors making it difficult to locate the "emergency". The point team stayed in constant communication via phone, email, and even text whenever was needed at all hours of the day. The field team was a positive team also and were able to answer questions I asked and provide information and assistance when I would point out changes I wanted to see. I have not worked with any other companies in this field but I would not hesitate to work with Lucus at Point Monitor again. Thanks,

We have worked with Point Monitor on many jobs. Tawnia, Brook and the rest of the team are amazing. They are professional, knowledgeable, respectful and are always quick to respond. Point Monitor has done large apartment complexes and a very custom commercial building for us. They are well known by local jurisdictions as a company that is experienced and will do the job right. I highly recommend them.

I have worked with Point Monitor for close to 17 years. Through the years they have taken over the maintenance and monitoring of systems they inherited, or as we grew, they put in new panels. Their technicians are solid and there have been many occasions where they helped me out on a Saturday and were able to get my panel operational, so I didn’t need to pay for a fire watch (24/7 security guard). We communicate well and we are well taken care of. I wouldn’t work with them if we weren’t

Point Monitor is far and away one of the most qualified fire alarm/security/ and CCTV contractors in the state. I contract or have contracted with a vast majority of the specialized low-voltage contractors in the area and Point Monitor's expertise is second to none. They are responsive, courteous, and always willing to help problem solve. I highly recommend contacting Point Monitor!

I hired Point Monitor to fix our security camera feed, it was blacking out on our resident floors. Spoke with Michael Beecher a real expert in his field. He sent one of his best men out to fix the problem. They did an amazing job and completely fixed the problem and cleaned up the wires. I would recommend their services to anyone.

I have to appreciate this company for their professionalism and the quality of work that they do, on budget. We almost were bankrupted by City Inspectors making up their own codes and having us redo our entire fire system without documentation to back up what they were requiring. We could not possibly have afforded the new system had it not been for Point Monitor coming and doing the system for a very fair price way below several other bids. We had no choice but to go with Point Monitor or go bankrupt. However, the job they did was far above expectations and we have been with them over 8 years now. The system they installed was state of the art and we always get compliments from inspectors and the Fire Marshalls. Our experience is that the technicians are very professional and knowledgable and respect our requests. I see the other reviewer talking about parking where they were not supposed to, I think it is unfair to ascribe perhaps some bad apples to an entire upstanding company that has many professional and respectful employees. I think this company represents a high value on reasonable cost compared with high integrity and quality of work.
