Benefits of 24/7 Professional Monitoring
Many homes in Rochester now have wireless security systems, and homeowners often choose professional monitoring. This is all part of how security systems have changed, even though that change took a long time.
Here are some big steps in home security:
- Wireless sensors make installation faster and let you have more sensors. They also offer many other benefits.
- Smartphone apps let homeowners watch their security systems from anywhere with a wireless signal. You can arm or disarm the system using the app.
- In-home video cameras let you add cameras inside and outside your home. This helps you keep an eye on things when you are home or away.
- Home automation goes a step further. It lets you control simple things like your thermostat or a light switch with your smartphone.
However, some homeowners think they should buy a system they can monitor themselves. They believe this allows them to skip professional monitoring.
But professional security monitoring matters a lot!
Professional Monitoring Is Key
Professional monitoring matters because it calls the authorities right away if someone breaks into your home.Imagine you’re at work and can’t use your phone, and a burglar enters your house. You wouldn’t know the alarm went off until it’s too late. However, with professional monitoring, you get fire monitoring, carbon monoxide monitoring, and burglar alarm monitoring. This gives you three important safety checks all in one service.
Problems with Monitoring-It-Yourself
Besides not always being able to check your phone, here are more problems:
- The internet is super important. Without it, you can’t watch your security system. If you’re on a plane, in a place with no cell signal, or at work where you can’t use your phone, your home is open to burglars.
- You might not get the alert. Even if you do, you must call the police or fire department yourself. If you’re out of town, you can’t call 911 for your home directly. Why? Your phone will call the 911 in the area you are in. Also, if you are near another county, you might call their 911 by mistake instead of your own.
Overall, professional monitoring really works. That’s why your home security system should offer it. It’s the best way to keep your home safe because they always watch things for you. You don’t have to worry if you lose your cell signal or can’t get alerts on your phone.
The Glory of Wireless Security Systems
And, of course, we can’t forget the fact that these security systems can be wireless. This means no wires being tucked away in strange places and the installation can be much faster. Between that and the professional monitoring service that gives you peace of mind and security, you have a winning combination when it comes to maintaining the safety of you, your home, and everything that you have worked for.
