Whether its protecting your life and property or if you want to know when the kids come home from school, today's security systems are more intelligent than ever before.
Monitoring smoke and fire alarms, interior and exterior motion, door and window openings, glass break sensors, temperature alarms and water sensors are all part of a complete security system. Improving your safety and escape time, calling a central station, neighbors, family members, or police and fire. Insurance companies give rate discounts to homes with security and fire protection systems because these systems reduce the chance of loss or the amount of loss.
Basic Security systems typically include monitoring the status of doors and windows and motion detection in the house when away or when family members are asleep. The ability to arm and disarm the system in home and away modes tell the system what to look for and how to handle the many different types of information that the system is monitoring.
Advanced alarms systems can handle all of the functions of the basic alarm system, but also are capable of a wider variety of alternate information. Smoke detection, carbon monoxide detectors, water sensors for sprinklers, and water sensors for water heaters, air conditioners and other devices will alert you to sooner to give you more time to respond to the issue. Systems automatically direct the alarm type to the right responding party, whether its police, fire, security company, hvac repair, or contractor. These advanced system give you the ability to check the status of your system from your computer or cell phone and can call you if the kids are late returning home or the wine cellar is not at exactly the right temperature. Handling all the information and routing it to the most effective place for response.
Integrated systems use the advanced alarm system as its back bone, but now also includes the ability to communicate with other systems; turning on lights for escape route in case of fire. Turning on lights at night or when a vehicle drives up. Turning down or off the air conditioning when not at home. Alerting the sprinkler system of rain and not to bother watering.
