What to Look for in a Home Security System

Home security systems have come a far way from just the grainy cameras and loud alarms of the past. They are much more versatile and intelligent today. Now the question is – how advanced is your  home security system ?

Modern home security systems offer many automated features and functions. Because of this, your home security and safety system can be as advanced as you need to protect your family, valuables, and property.

So, here are a few things to look out for when upgrading your home security system in 2019.

Must-Haves for Effective Home Security Systems

Reliable sensors: motion sensors, window and door sensors
Get notified immediately if someone trespasses on your property. Or, get an alarm if there is an attempted entry through your doors or windows.

Remote controls
Want to know one of the leading causes of home burglaries? Unlocked doors or windows. With a system that you can access remotely, you can lock your doors and arm your security systems while you’re out walking, going to the store, or at work, etc.

24/7 Monitoring
Get a team that monitors your premises constantly that can contact law enforcement or other officials when necessary.

Environmental controls
Home security  now includes safety features. Protect your family from fires, smoke, carbon monoxide poisoning, and more with high-quality sensors.

Smart Systems
Smart systems are in. No need to walk over to the thermostat to set the required temperature. Simply, program it into your smart thermostat or adjust the temperature remotely. This is ideal if you have kids at home, pets, and elderly parents who may not be able to get up to adjust the thermostat for themselves.

Self-monitoring
What’s a home security system if you can’t monitor it remotely? With a Skybell Video Doorbell, you can answer your doorbell from anywhere. Plus, you can check in on your kids and pets with your remotely accessed cameras.

Ready for an upgraded home security system for 2019?

All these protective features and more could be yours at a reasonable price. Home security doesn’t have to be break-the-bank expensive. It can be affordable, practical, and effective when you work with  ATP Alarms.

The first step to controlling access to your building is the door(s) employees or visitors may enter through. In the morning, do you unlock these doors for the day? Do you leave it locked throughout the day? Who is responsible for these tasks?
