Link Customer to Existing COPS Account

If your customer already exists in your COPS Monitoring account, you can link that customer to the same customer within SecurityTrax. After the link is established, specific changes made to the customer within SecurityTrax will automatically be updated at COPS Monitoring.

 

Create or go to Customer Record

You must first create the customer in SecurityTrax in order to link it to an existing customer at COPS Monitoring.

To learn more on how to create a customer in SecurityTrax, see Customer Creation.

  2. There are 2 possible outcomes here:
    • If there is no account that matches with COPS Monitoring, you will get a message telling you so. You will need to contact COPS Monitoring for help with this.
    • If there is an account found, you will see a Discrepancies page. This page will list any discrepancies between what is in SecurityTrax and what is in COPS Monitoring database. Note: If there are any discrepancies, the information in SecurityTrax will overwrite the information in the COPS database.
  3. To continue and link the account, select Link.

The account is now linked.
