Security System House of Israel Balboa Park October 2, 2014
The House of Israel has been in Balboa Park since 1948, and has had no serious incidents There has been, however, a long history of mischievous vandalism in the Park which has impacted us There are times when it is recommended that the Jewish community heighten security measures It is out of an abundance of caution that HOI installed a state-of-the art alarm and camera system Why an Alarm System?
Our Alarm system contacts our Monitor and the police are dispatched if the alarm is set and: Glass is broken Doors or windows are opened Motion is detected inside the House Our Camera system records all activity inside and some activity outside the House What does it Mean?
When you enter the HOI, the alarm will be set. When you open the door, you should hear beeping Keypad is located inside the bathroom “Armed” light will be red Enter your 4-digit alarm code Press “OFF” button (1 on the keypad) “Armed” light will turn off How to Turn Off Alarm System
When you leave the HOI, close all windows and doors firmly (bathroom door is not alarmed) Keypad is located inside the bathroom Keypad screen should read “READY” – if not, double-check that all windows and doors are closed firmly Enter your 4-digit alarm code Press “AWAY” button (2 on the keypad) Alarm will begin beeping. You have two minutes to leave the HOI and lock the door behind you. Turn On Alarm System
In the event of accidental trigger of alarm system Call one of the 3 contacts and inform them Helene Held Jack Maizel Sandy Golden If you cannot reach anyone, call Compass security Trouble with Alarm System
During open hours, the alarm is off and the doors unsecured If you need to call the police, there is a ‘panic button’ under the counter Activate the ‘panic button’ by pressing together the buttons on the front and the back of the block If there is someone threatening inside the HOI who will not leave, then YOU MUST LEAVE In Case of Emergency
