Home Security System – Alarm System Monitoring

You might have seen the commercial in which a man tries to break into a house, but the security system goes off and the burglar runs away. While the home security system is blaring, an operator from the home’s security system monitoring company calls the house to make sure everything is alright. That commercial communicates a powerful message about home security: an alarm isn’t always enough. You also need someone to monitor your home security system.

Many individuals do not think they need to be monitored.  Well they are wrong IMHO and it’s gotten so affordable if you use an online company that it’s ridiculous not to have your security system monitored. You can now get UL listed alarm system monitoring for as little as $8.75 a month. This meager amount is often gained back 100% in the form of an insurance discount for having the service.

So who needs security system monitoring? Seniors, single parents, kids home alone, families, small businesses, and anyone who has a security system. Lets say your kids are at home alone and they set the alarm, but there is no monitoring. What would happen if someone broke in the house and activate the alarm, but no one see or knows anything is happening?  No one knows because no one is monitoring or watching for anything.

Finally, if you are going to have a security system be sure to actually turn them on and use them.  What good is a security system if you do not even turn it on.Test your system monthly (weekly is recommended).

So security system monitoring is greatly encouraged and will give you the peace of mind that your property is being watched, even when you are not there.

  1. Nice post and you are right about the home owner’s insurance discounts. If you are only paying $8 for monitoring services, you might even make some money overall :)
