5 Benefits of Our Alarm System
We all know that home security systems can be beneficial. They can keep your possessions safe as well as your family;however, there are some benefits that are typically not thought of. Here are our top 5 often overlooked benefits that accommodate our home security system:
1. Access from anywhere
It is known that we are in an age of technological revolution. Technology such as 3D printers and drones are changing the world as we know it. With technological advancement comes an advancement in home security. Our system utilizes Z-Wave technology, which allows the user to control their system from their smartphone as long as they have cell service. This means that you can arm your system from anywhere, receive notifications when an event has occurred, and even control certain aspects of your home (providing that you have various home automation technology installed in your home).
2. Home Automation
As previously stated, you can control certain aspects of your home from your cellphone if you have our alarm system. It is possible to control your lights, door locks, thermostats, and even your blinds if you have the required technology. Pretty cool right? We thought so too!
3. Notifications
Our alarm system can actually send you notifications when there is an event. For instance, if you have an alarm event, you will receive a push notification on your phone. You can also opt for a text message and an email instead of a push notification. It is also possible to create your own notifications! You can even set up notifications that simply let you know when a specific door or window is opened.
4. Setting Rules
Rules are a very interesting and helpful feature. It is possible to get very creative with rules. For instance, you can create a rule that will carry out the following action: if the garage door opens, turn on the hall light. Now rules only work if you have the specific smart home technology to carry out the rule you have created, so if you would like to create one, make sure you have the right gear!
5. Keypad Automation
Do you forget to arm your system? How about disarm it? Well we truthfully hope you don’t forget to disarm it, or else you must be receiving a lot of calls! Anyway, it is possible to set your keypad to self-arm. If you leave at 9:00 am every morning, you can make it so your system arms itself at 9:05. This can prevent any forgetfulness, but it can also be of use if you are out of town or simply unable to get to your keypad at certain times.
