Every time a loved one leaves the house, we typically send them off by advising them to, “be careful,” or “stay safe.” We want them to be alert while they are away from us when we know we can’t control all of life’s variables, especially when out in the world. There is one place where we can ensure that those we love are safe, however. When we equip our homes with security alert systems, we can protect ourselves and loved ones against potential dangers in our homes.
Protection Against Break-ins
Wireless burglar alarms monitored by personnel provide dual protection by notifying people in the home of an intruder and providing a quick pathway to notify authorities. Developing a system that works for your home could include door and window sensors, security cameras and even smart home capabilities that allow you to control your system and watch footage in real time from your phone, even when you are not home.
Add additional security by installing motion sensor lights, outdoor cameras and even panic buttons to carry with you or place on your nightstand. Build a home security system that works for your lifestyle and home.
Protection Against Fire and Fumes
Fires and especially carbon monoxide leaks can start small and quietly compromise your home and safety without you knowing about it. Whether you are asleep or in a different part of your home, you want a specially designed system keeping watch over you and your family. Smoke, fire and carbon monoxide detectors are designed to detect these “intruders” and alert, not only you, but also get first responders on their way. It doesn’t take long for fires and harmful gases to spread through your home and potentially cause devastation and even death.
Make sure your home is properly equipped with working fire and smoke alarms as well as carbon monoxide detectors. Many carbon monoxide detectors are designed to “pause” your furnace to prevent additional spread.
We should feel safe in our homes. It’s where we go at the end of every day to rest, enjoy family, and recover from stressful days. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security. We need to make sure we’ve equipped our homes with sufficient security and alarm systems to protect us against fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide. With the proper alert systems, our homes truly can be our safe haven.
