There are some common sense things you can do for home security such as keeping your doors locked and not planting bushes near windows, but if you really want your family and belongings to be safe and secure, you may want to look into the new digital-age technology that is easy to install, affordable and effective. Top security companies offer high-tech systems such as Poer Saint Lucie ADT.
How Home Security Technology Works
Your first step for a secure environment is to have monitored services. This means your security system is connected to a monitoring center, and if the alarm is triggered, you’ll get help within minutes. The kind of help you get depends on the type of security you have, but the center could send paramedics and an ambulance, the fire department or the police.
There are several ways to be connected to the monitoring center, including through your landline, mobile phone or broadband internet connection.
Different Types of Technology
Infrared motion detectors can be installed indoors and outdoors. This type of motion detector sends out a signal, and when that signal is interrupted by movement, it sends an alarm to the monitoring center. These systems can be programmed not to react to pets.
Wireless technology is easier to install than other types and includes no external wires for burglars to cut. They can be more easily placed around the house because they don’t require wire connections.
Remote monitoring with a smartphone allows you to control your security system with your phone or other web-enabled device. You can even control your thermostat and some small appliances. At any time, you can check who is at the front door, and if you have security cameras in your home, you can look at each room. It is also useful for checking on a baby who may be sleeping upstairs.
Different Types of Threats
Burglars are just the most obvious home security threat, but there others that may be just as dangerous including carbon monoxide, flooding and medical emergencies. Fire is the main threat that needs to be detected quickly. If you only have a fire alarm, there may not be anyone at home to hear it. If your system is monitored, the fire department will be sent whether you are home or not.
You can rest easy with a monitored home security system that watches over your belongings and family 24/7 throughout the year.
