In today’s society people have the mindset of “ cut to the chase ”. Oftentimes, when meeting with a potential client, they are so consummated in knowing exactly how many door or window contacts come in a basic package that they overlook other key components of that basic system . In my eyes, the most notable instance is with the “ keyfob ” that a customer would receive. To many, the keyfob is viewed as the little brother who is the last pick in a neighborhood kickball game. I’m sure you’ve all been in one of those situations before where a dialogue would soon follow going something along the lines of: Do we have to take him?! Why is he even here?! Luckily, for those of you who are reading this, I am here to tell you the benefits of this “throw in” and why a keyfob is more important than one would think . The Keyfob is a Great Tool.

From a residential standpoint, it can be extremely useful in numerous ways. How often do you wake up in the middle of the night , hear a weird noise outside and begin to think, what’s that? Now, seeing as how you have (or soon will have) an alarm system from ATP Alarms (American Total Protection) you shouldn’t be concerned because our system will take care of you, but say this is one of those cases where you have a gut feeling that something isn’t quite right. You simply reach over to your night stand and hit the panic button on the keyfob to scare off the possible intruder . Another great cause for a keyfob is the third function that you can program on it. Picture yourself in the middle of the summer not being able to sleep because it is so hot and humid out and your significant other won’t let you turn the house into an igloo. I bet you’re feeling like Tom Hanks in “ Castaway ” right now aren’t you? Wouldn’t you love to go downstairs and quench your thirst without waking up the entire house by walking past the motion sensor that comes in the basic package? Well that’s what the third function on the keyfob is for. You will be able to leave all of your other sensors on while turning off motion sensors so you can walk around worry free . Seeing as how it has the basic capabilities of arm and disarm on it as well, if you have it hooked to your keychain you can simply hit disarm when arriving to your house and not have to worry about entering your code . The Keyfob is a Great Tool.

When looking at the keyfob from a commercial view , one would think it cannot be that much different than how you would use it in a residence. This is the one (and only) time where I will admit that you are right. The one thing that store owners generally overlook though is having a panic button behind the counter for their employee . Wouldn’t you want your employee and store to safe if they felt threatened by a customer? Your system is not going to be armed because your employee is still in the store, so how do you resolve this situation? It’s simple, place the keyfob behind the counter where they would be able to reach it, and they now have a panic button to let us know they are in distress.

So the next time you meet or speak with an ATP Alarms representative do not overlook the keyfob and the contributions it can make to your security system .
