The Basics

Whenever you start any project, it’s always best to start with the basics. Here, we’ll list some of the smartest ways to get started with your home security system.

Interactive Security: The days of the solo alarm system are behind us. Today, you can stay connected with your Alarm.com security system 24/7.

You can use the Alarm.com app to take your system anywhere and keep an eye on your home in the process. Receive real-time updates about all the activity going on in and around your property, view footage from your connected surveillance system, and issue unique user codes for arming and disarming the system directly from your smartphone or tablet.

Remote Monitoring: Of course, you’re not alone wen it comes to protecting your home. Alarm.com also offers remote monitoring services from certified professionals that will help you keep an eye on everything. You can rest easy knowing someone will have your back.

Plus, even in emergency situations you can count on Alarm.com’s reliability. They offer dedicated cellular connections so you can stay in touch with your system and monitoring service even if your phoneline or broadband Internet connection goes out.

Environmental Protections: Security is important no matter how you slice it, but you’re much more likely to suffer environmental dangers than a home invasion. That’s why environmental sensors are essential to building a well-rounded system.

For instance, smoke and carbon detectors can help you spot threats before they become big problems, allowing you to evacuate everyone to safety before any real damage is done. You or your remote monitor can then notify the proper authorities.

But even more than those potential disasters, it’s the unseen that can do the most damage. Flood and leak sensors help you keep track of small issues that could potentially become huge problems down the road.

 

Another essential element of a starter security system is working with a professional installer with years of experience, who can guide you through the ins, outs, and unexpected complexities of your project.
