How 24/7 Home Monitoring Enhances Your Security

Home security has changed in this increasingly unpredictable world. It is no longer alarms that alert you when there is a problem for immediate resolution. It has evolved into a watchful protector who is continually watching your home or the people and possessions in your home every second of the day, even when you can’t be there. 24/7 monitored home security systems have given us the ability to transform traditional alarm system to a smarter, proactive approach to security. 

Let’s take a deeper look into ‘How can 24/7 monitoring increase the security of your home.

What Is a Monitored Alarm System?

A monitored alarm system is a security alarm system linked to a professional monitoring center. When one of the sensors within your home, like a break-in, fire, or leak detection, signals an alarm, the system associates and notify the professional monitoring center. The trained personnel dispatching professionals will notify you of the situation, and if necessary, they will contact first responders (i.e., police, fire, or paramedics).

Unlike self-monitored alarms, where homeowners take actions using alerts they have received on their mobile devices and rely exclusively on themselves to respond, monitored home alarms have no reliance on the homeowner and instead have a professional monitoring process that is continually watchful.

Advantages of Monitored Home Security Systems

1. On-the-spot response, 24/7

When a home has monitored security alarm monitoring, protection never stops. Regardless of when it is and using a monitoring center that operates 24/7, anyone that breaks in is at a disadvantage since they will always be up against the fastest emergency response relying on the professionalism of the monitoring center and its procedures that the typical home alarm doesn’t provide. 

2. Coverage beyond Burglar Alarms

Modern monitored alarm systems do not just refer to an intruder. Alarm systems now cover any number of security plant equipment, i.e… door alarm security systems, equipment that monitors smoke and heat sensors, carbon monoxide detectors. Monitored alarm systems use a layering security system that ultimately secures your family’s safety through a vigilant system of checks and responds to them.

3. Remote Access and Control

Home security alarm systems increasingly use smartphone integration to allow homeowners to monitor and control their homes’ security system. This allows them to arm/disarm their alarms, check alarms status and responses, allow people in and out of the house, etc. Admittedly with remote access whether homeowners have control or not, breaking in via an alarm system reduces consequences and effects of the response as a monitored alarm always reacts on behalf of the residents.

4. Individualized Home Security in India

Homeowners have different homes with unique issues. Monitored security can mitigate the unique risk, allow for a personal approach, and allow for site specific security design that can be add-ons in layers as we have discussed previously. No comfort, as no comfort begins with eliminating key areas of concern within a homeowners property.

How is a Security Alarm Monitored?

Your home is fitted with many sensors: motion sensors, door/window contacts, smoke detectors, etc. When any one of your sensors are triggered, it sends a signal to a central control panel. This control panel notifies the alarm monitoring station so they can verify a signal and take action by notifying you, and contacting authorities in an emergency.

This real-time monitoring and response, significantly reduce false alarms, but also ensure that real threats to your safety and home are addressed quickly.

Reasons For Choosing Monitored Security Plans Versus Conventional Alarm Systems

Conventional alarm systems sound an audible alarm indicating an alarm condition, but rely on neighbors and passersby to call authorities. Monitored alarm systems connect directly with professionals, trained to respond to an emergency alarm. Professional alarm monitoring can enhance the security of your home, reduce some of the risk and improve the overall response time.
