What Else Can an Alarm System Do?

By Carl A. Long


The world can be a scary place sometimes, but there are things you can do to protect your family and your home. The most important is having an alarm system for your home. This will help protect your family and your possessions. Although most people usually buy an alarm for safety, many systems also provide other features that are user friendly and very helpful. When purchasing an alarm system, be sure to see what other features it provides that may be helpful on a day to day basis.

It seems that daily temperature swings are getting more and more common in all parts of the United States. With all the unstable weather, wouldn't it be nice to remotely control your thermostat. Perhaps it was cool in the morning when you left for work, but by the time you get back it is 100 degrees. If you turned your air conditioning up or even off, it would be scorching in your house when you returned home. Think how handy it would be to simply cool your home off about an hour before you came home. Also, you could conserve more energy and lower your monthly energy costs. It is a win-win for your wallet and the environment.

So you locked your keys in the house again today. Your boss is not going to like you being late again, time is money. If you have an alarm system installed many can remotely unlock your entry doors for you if you are locked out. As the above example shows, this can be very handy! It can also be a great way to give someone access to your home, like a neighbor feeding your pets, without having to hand out a key. Try to avoid giving out keys to anyone other than very close friends and family.

We have all heard the news stories about carbon monoxide. It is an odorless, colorless gas that can be deadly at elevated levels. The gas usually comes from a defective heating system. Most victims had no idea that their house was filled with carbon monoxide. However, if you install an alarm system with a carbon monoxide detector, you will never have to worry carbon monoxide poisoning again. You can see your levels while in your home, and remotely by checking on your phone or computer. This can also come in handy while you are away, yet you still have pets at home.

Using video and audio recording is a great way to help keep your home safe. You can instantly see and hear who is in and near your home. However, it can also have another usage. Even if your kids are plenty old enough to stay home by themselves, parents still worry. With an alarm system outfitted with video and audio recording, you can keep an eye on the kids while they are home alone. It is also a great way to make sure the kids are doing their homework when they say they are! This can also be a great way to keep an eye on the babysitter who is looking after your children who are too young to stay at home by themselves. Any extra help a parent can get is great!

Take your time picking out a high-quality alarm system. It will become one of your most important investments. It gives your family and home a sense of safety and protection. It can also help you with the children, keep you safe from fire and carbon monoxide, and simply be a convenience device. Who knew that an alarm system could do so much? Be sure to pick out a device that is best for your lifestyle and type of home, but don't be afraid to ask what other features may come with your system.
