Security Which Takes No Vacations, Even When You Do

By William B Blosien


My husband and I are both retired teachers at Duke University. Now that we find ourselves with plenty of spare time, our out-of-town trips have become far more frequent.

Leaving behind our town home has never caused us any concerns, all thanks to our home safety and security system. My hubby and I enjoy the sense of security that we get from this system's 24-hour monitoring service, kept under the watchful eyes of a dependable security service company.

The security which we have also offers an add-on meant to detect dangers just like fire and also excessive heat, flood conditions, as well as poisonous carbon monoxide. This add-on allows the system to send an alarm alert to a central monitoring station for fast response.

But, I believe that we had never definitely valued the value of our home security system until a week ago. We spent three days with our daughter who resided in Buffalo along with her husband and children when burglars made an effort to enter our home.

Thanks to the setup's wireless capability, my husband received a message through his cell phone informing him of the incident. He contacted the security company and got in touch right away with an agent that assured him that everything would definitely be fine.

The equipment's infrared interior motion detector, able to sense motion around 75 feet away, had managed to discover 2 guys who were trying to get into our home. Then, the loud, high-decibel siren sounded off, scaring the intruders away before they can do us any harm.

The alarm also sent messages to my husband and to the central station, notifying them of the emergency. The responsible agent at the central station dispatched personnel to our household at once to look at for any kind of loss or damage.

Over the phone, the agent confirmed to my spouse that our household suffered no damages and that it was fully secure. When we got home from our visit, we saw that what he said was accurate, and we have never been happier with our home safety and security system.

  1. Webcam home monitoring is much cheaper than using a professional home security set-up, that could set you back by many hundred dollars. Once you have your webcams in place, a webcam software is extremely affordable and what's best, is that some of them like GotoCamera www.gotocamera.com even offer this service for free.
