Smart Alarm Systems
If you're looking for a home security system and you've not yet heard about smart alarms, read on... we think you'll be impressed.
What is a Smart Alarm and how are they different?
Smart alarms are the burglar alarm system of today. They do EVERYTHING an ordinary burglar alarm system can do, and a lot more besides.
Like a traditional home alarm, they can be set and unset by entering a unique user code into the alarm keypad or simply presenting a key fob to the keypad. They can also be programmed to sound the external siren, contact an alarm receiving centre, or alert you when activated, if required.
So what's the smart part?
Amongst many other great features, the motion detectors in a smart alarm system have a camera built in which takes a sequence of snapshots when the alarm is activated and sends those images instantly to your smartphone.
Remote Control
Let's assume for a moment that, like us, you sometimes forget things;
Did I lock the back door, did I switch the alarm on.... you know the feeling.
A smart alarm eliminates that worry.
Not sure if you switched your smart alarm on?
No problem, check the secure app on your smart phone and, if it's not set, set it directly from the app from anywhere in the world.
You can control multiple smart alarm systems from the app (e.g. your office and home alarm) and multiple partitions within each system (e.g. your house and garage), allowing each to be set and unset independently with a simple swipe motion.
Not got a smart phone?
No problem.
As we previously mentioned, a smart alarm can still be set and unset just like any ordinary intruder alarm system. In fact, we can make it ultra simple and provide a small handheld remote to enable you to set/unset at the click of a button, just as you do with remote central locking on your car.
Concerned you'll forget to set it?
We can program your smart alarm to auto set at a pre-determined time of your choice - say, 9:15 (Mon-Fri) when everyone should be out of the house at school, at work or... ahem... on the golf course!?
Self Monitoring with Visual Verification
What happens if you're away and your burglar alarm goes off?
Do you think your neighbours go round and check over your home? Not according to a recent survey.
Ah! but what if I had a monitored burglar alarm, I hear you cry?
Well, the alarm monitoring company is notified your alarm has been activated and they call you to let you know.
Now what…? You're at work - perhaps 30 minutes away, or 2000 miles away on holiday.
Is it just a false alarm or is my house being torn apart by intruders? Unfortunately, with an ordinary burglar alarm, you will never know and only find out when you get home which, by then, is far too late.
Hmmm!
Wouldn't it be great to get alarm notifications instantly via your smart phone and, at the tap of a button, get visual verification of what's actually going on inside your house?
Now you're understanding the true power of a smart alarm.
