Get Creative With your Home Security System
Posted by admin | Home Security | Posted on February 23rd, 2009
A 21st century Home Security System can be much more than just a device that asks for help in an emergency. In fact, it can be a great help in everyday life. What about an SMS message when the liquor cabinet is open at 3 am and the only home is your teenager?
The purpose of a home security system used to be quite simple: take out the bad guys. That has not changed. A home security system that is connected to this day and age still protects your family and your property. But it is far more sophisticated than that. Even allows you to be creative. Probably beyond your imagination.
Say you add a new sensor to your liquor cabinet. A century 21 home security system can be configured to send an email or SMS message when the cabinet is open. Not to your monitoring service, of course, but directly to you. How does that make you feel when your teenage children are home alone?
Custom Notification Rules
It’s just one example. It is not difficult to think of more. The medicine cabinet for example. Or a cabinet or closet for storing firearms. All items you would like to track can be protected with a simple ten dollar sensor that is connected to an alarm system in 2007. When you open the cabinets, you probably do not want the police to be alerted. However, you may want to receive an email or SMS message.
For most people with a common origin security system, these functions can be very extraordinary. But the truth is that they are not. All you need is to install a simple plug in the device. Updates the existing home security system directly into the 21st century.
The ’secret’ behind all this is that these gadgets are reported over three redundant connections – broadband, cellular and telephone line, which is available in an emergency or as necessary to carry out set an action – like sending an SMS message.
Her daughter did get Home Insurance?
Want another example of use every day? What about getting an email or an SMS message when your daughter has come home safely from school? Or a message that your neighbor just feed their cat or walking your dog while you’re on vacation? All this is only a question of creating personal (dis) arming codes and standards for reporting the daily habit of events that fit your needs and your lifestyle. Sounds complicated? It is not. All you need is a couple of mouse clicks.
Make things easier
Even if you do not have children, pets, alcohol or firearms – improving your current home security system in the 21st century is something to consider. The ‘bad’ you are trying to do, are aware that its security depends on a thin copper wire. All you have to do is find it, cut and their property is theirs. Unless of course, your home security system switches to a cellular broadband or the moment your terrestrial connection is cut.
Upgrade your alarm system
The good news is that these new types of system configurations are available now. The best news: a company called uControl introduced an add-on ‘link’ that makes your current home security system communicate via broadband, cell phone or online – what is available. It is compatible with 95 percent of all alarm systems installed in U.S. households today. Therefore there is no need to dispose of your existing system. Just updated and your home and family are better protected than ever.
Installation is easy uControl link. And it’s even easier to configure the link uControl to fit your lifestyle. It only takes a few mouse clicks and you are ready to receive an email or SMS message when your daughter comes home from school.
Peace of Mind
Unlike traditional companies such as ADT or Brinks, uControl does not charge an extra fee for more broadband communication, cellular and telephone line. In fact, provide safer and more secure for the same dollar.
