Everyone knows that installing a home alarm system reduces the chances of a burglar breaking into your home and making off with the family silver – or your new flat-screen television. But what you may not know, is that home security systems provide other benefits for your family as well.
Cut Your Insurance Premiums
Many insurance companies offer lower premiums and discounts to homeowners who invest in protecting their properties. Check with your insurance agent to find out how much you could save by installing a burglar alarm, monitored alarm system or a full-fledged Honeywell security system. Depending on the options you choose, you could save a considerable amount of money.
Stop Waiting for the Cable Guy
The latest home alarm systems do far more than protecting your home from intruders. They actually allow you to control access to your home from afar, often controlled by an app on your iPhone or a Smartphone. With a smart security system installed, you can program a one-time-use lock code so that a repairman can let himself into your home so you don’t have to wait there to let him in. Changing the locks was never this easy before.
Program Your Locks to Phone You When Your Kids Get Home
Kids are forgetful. They know they’re supposed to let you know they got home safely, but how many afternoons have you sat there waiting and worrying? With the right key/alarm system, you can program your lock with a separate key code for each of your family members, and set it up to phone you when each of your children uses his key code to get into the house.
Monitor Your Home Remotely
With an alarm system that includes video monitoring, you can check in on your home from work or anywhere else you can access the Internet. That allows you to keep an eye on pets and nannies, or just check in to see what’s going on if you’re notified that your home alarm has been activated.
Allow Your Parents to Maintain Independence
Many older adults end up in nursing homes or assisted living units because their children worry about falls and accidents. A home alarm system with a personal alarm can set their minds to rest, secure in the knowledge that if mom or dad falls at home, they can call for help.
If you’ve been considering an upgrade or a new alarm system for your home, talk to a licensed installer of home security systems to find out about the latest advantages in alarm and security technology.
