For many families in the U.S., security is very important. One way that families make sure that they’re homes and children are kept safe is by installing an interactive home security system. Interactive home security systems are a step above traditional home security systems in that they allow the homeowners to interact with the system and monitor their home at all times, no matter where they are. There’s no mandatory keypad to punch a code into every
time someone leaves or enters the house, and checking up on the home can be as easy as glancing at a cell phone.
Many of those who do have interactive home security systems installed in their homes have it set up so that they can literally control everything from their phones. That means that a homeowner can arm the alarm from their driveway when they’re leaving for work in the morning with a simple push of a button on their phone. Throughout the day, the homeowner will receive email alerts each time someone enters the front door of their home.
This is a great feature, because if someone enters at an odd time of the day, when no one is expected to be home, the homeowner can order and access a 30 second video clip off the camera set up to monitor the front door. This allows for peace of mind, being able to see if it’s just a family member running home real quick, or if it’s a real threat that requires further action.
Interactive home security systems also come with other functions that traditional security systems don’t, like the ability to adjust the temperature of the home’s thermostat! The system also allows homeowners to disarm or set their alarms anytime, from anywhere, on not only their smartphones, but also tablets as well.
An interactive or mobile home security system puts the homeowner in control and gives them a bit of peace of mind in knowing that they literally have 24-7 access to their home’s security. It’s the security system of the future, and one that is growing rapidly in popularity.
