The Top 3 Reasons to Invest in Home Security Monitoring

What would happen if there’s an emergency at your home, but no one is there to notice it? Wouldn’t you be happy to know that a monitoring station was able to detect problems and report them on your behalf? If this sounds good to you, then let’s look at the top 3 reasons to invest in  home security monitoring .

What is a monitored home security system?
In addition to the loud alarm at your home, your alarm also sends a signal off-site. This signal goes to a monitoring station that operates 24 hours daily and can read and understand the signals transmitted by your home alarm panel.

Their job is to verify the alarm signals received and request help from the relevant authorities where necessary. It is about putting an added eye on your property in addition to what you do.

Top 3 Benefits of Home Security Monitoring

Fire Detection and Alarm
The unpredictability of fires makes it necessary to not only have fire and smoke alarms installed, but to have those alarms monitored externally for you. With a monitoring station, you can get a prompt response to a fire emergency.

Prevent Burglaries and Break-Ins
Intruder detection solutions such as glass break detectors and door alarms are great at keeping track of unwanted ‘visitors’ into your home. If you’re not at home, then your monitoring company can assess the situation and dispatch the authorities as needed. If you are at home, then they can quickly get you on the line and get help on the way in short order.

Carbon Monoxide Detection
Syncing your many home hazard detectors with your monitoring station gives you an added level of security. If you’re unable to make the call yourself about CO2 leaks in your home, then a monitored system can get help to you quickly.

Ready to connect your home security system to a Central Monitoring Station?
A monitoring station can help to minimize dangers at your home. In addition to that, one of the most significant impacts is added peace of mind from knowing you’re not alone. Plus, you can even benefit from lower insurance premiums with a monitored home alarm system.

So, investing in a monitored home security system is as much about your safety as it is about your protection.  Contact ATP Alarms  to discuss setting up your monitored alarm system today.
