How is Outage Buddy Different?
Outage Buddy adds fast power and internet outage alerts to your facility. Most alarm companies passively monitor your system for A/C power loss. They wait for your system to tell them there is a problem. Thanks to randomized A/C power loss reporting times, this can take up to six hours. Sometimes it never happens at all!

After you install the App, you need to enter a property API key before your computer will check in with Outage Buddy.
TIP:
The client software should be installed on multiple computers to
maximize your check ins and minimize any interruptions (such as PC
restarts).
Note:
It is important to install the software on computers which
will lose their internet connection if the power goes
down. If your computer and internet are both on battery backups,
we recommend using our hardware option instead.
