Monitoring
The presence of a security system provides many people with a peace of mind knowing that their home or business is protected from a variety of devastating scenarios. Having your system monitored adds another essential layer of protection and can lower insurance cost as well.
Monitoring your System
Having your security system monitored not only gives you piece of mind knowing that when you are away your home or busniess is being protected but there is usually a significant discount given to homeowners with home security systems installed. The total discount given as a result of homes having security systems differs based upon the features of the system (for instance, a system monitored by a central monitoring station should provide a larger discount compared to one that is not monitored) and the amount of coverage purchased initially and the company offering the insurance. In general, homeowners receive a 10-20% discount on their insurance by having a functioning home alarm system installed.
Control Your System Remotely
For some homeowners, the ability to keep an eye on their home even when they are away is one of the biggest perks of having a home alarm system. Our alarm systems now allow users to log on to the internet via their computers or smartphone and access their home or business security system remotely.This type of system allows the home alarm to be remotely armed or disarmed, cameras to be monitored, household lights to be turned off and on, air conditioning or heating to be turned on or changed, and motion detectors to be monitored
