Here are ten reasons why investing in a monitored home alarm system is beneficial:

Pro­fes­sion­al Mon­i­tor­ing: Trained secu­ri­ty pro­fes­sion­als mon­i­tor your home 24/7, ensur­ing a swift response to any secu­ri­ty breach­es or emer­gen­cies.

Imme­di­ate Emer­gency Response: In case of a break-in, fire, or med­ical emer­gency, the mon­i­tor­ing cen­ter can prompt­ly alert the appro­pri­ate author­i­ties, poten­tial­ly sav­ing lives and min­i­miz­ing prop­er­ty dam­age.

Deter­rence Against Bur­glar­ies: Mon­i­tored alarm sys­tems are a pow­er­ful deter­rent to bur­glars. The knowl­edge that your home is being active­ly mon­i­tored increas­es the risk for poten­tial intrud­ers, often dis­suad­ing them from attempt­ing a break-in.

Remote Access and Con­trol: Many mon­i­tored sys­tems offer remote access via smart­phone apps, allow­ing you to arm/disarm your sys­tem, receive real-time alerts, and mon­i­tor your home­’s secu­ri­ty sta­tus any­where in the world.

Inte­gra­tion with Smart Home Devices: These sys­tems can inte­grate seam­less­ly with oth­er smart home devices, such as secu­ri­ty cam­eras, smart locks, and motion sen­sors, pro­vid­ing com­pre­hen­sive secu­ri­ty and con­ve­nience.

Insur­ance Ben­e­fits: Installing a mon­i­tored alarm sys­tem may qual­i­fy you for dis­counts on home­own­ers’ insur­ance pre­mi­ums, as it reduces the risk of theft and prop­er­ty dam­age.

Mon­i­tor­ing for Envi­ron­men­tal Haz­ards: In addi­tion to secu­ri­ty threats, mon­i­tored sys­tems can detect envi­ron­men­tal haz­ards such as smoke, car­bon monox­ide leaks, and flood­ing, pro­vid­ing ear­ly warn­ings to mit­i­gate poten­tial dis­as­ters.

Cus­tomized Secu­ri­ty Solu­tions: Mon­i­tored alarm sys­tems can be tai­lored to your spe­cif­ic needs, with options for adding addi­tion­al sen­sors, cam­eras, or fea­tures as your secu­ri­ty require­ments evolve.

Fam­i­ly Safe­ty: With mon­i­tored sys­tems, you can ensure the safe­ty of your loved ones, espe­cial­ly chil­dren or elder­ly fam­i­ly mem­bers who may need assis­tance dur­ing emer­gen­cies.

Peace of Mind: Ulti­mate­ly, hav­ing a mon­i­tored home alarm sys­tem offers unpar­al­leled peace of mind. Whether at home, work, or on vaca­tion, you can rest easy know­ing that pro­fes­sion­al secu­ri­ty experts around the clock pro­tect your home and fam­i­ly.

Home Alarm Systems FAQs

How much for home security systems in Southern Ontario?

Home alarm pack­ages here at Pro­tec­tion Plus are designed to suit your needs. Equip­ment and instal­la­tion typ­i­cal­ly cost between $500 and $1,000, depend­ing on your lay­out and spe­cif­ic needs. Mon­i­tor­ing begins at $29.95 a month and increas­es with addi­tion­al fea­tures, such as visu­al ver­i­fi­ca­tion or smart home inte­gra­tions. Free quotes and con­sul­ta­tions are avail­able to help you prop­er­ly bud­get for your project.

Is professional installation necessary, or can I do it myself (DIY)?

Peace of mind dis­tin­guish­es the pro­fes­­sion­al-grade instal­la­tion deliv­ered by Pro­tec­tion Plus. There are DIY sys­tems avail­able, but a pro­fes­sion­al can ensure that sen­sors are placed in the right spot, every­thing is con­nect­ed, and work­ing with the police, which those oth­er sys­tems can­not do if you’re doing it your­self. Their ser­vice spe­cial­ists will also han­dle any nec­es­sary per­mit paper­work, work­ing close­ly with munic­i­pal­i­ties such as Toron­to or Mis­sis­sauga.

Should I get professional monitoring or self-monitoring?

Pro­tec­tion Plus high­ly rec­om­mends 24/7 pro­fes­sion­al mon­i­tor­ing, includ­ing visu­al alarm ver­i­fi­ca­tion, to reduce false alarms and expe­dite your police response time. Their mon­i­tor­ing is ULC-list­ed and Cana­­da-based, ensur­ing com­pli­ance with Cana­di­an pri­va­cy laws, such as PIPEDA. It does allow for down-and-dirty self-mon­i­­tor­ing through their smart home apps, but that’s it, no emer­gency dis­patch.

Will monthly fees escalate as this program matures?

Pro­tec­tion Plus has 3‑year con­tracts and no hid­den rate hikes. You receive clear pric­ing upfront, with option­al add-ons such as visu­al ver­i­fi­ca­tion, video clips or smart home automa­tion. Trans­par­ent billing enables you to mon­i­tor your costs accu­rate­ly and avoid any unwel­come sur­pris­es.

Will a wireless system work in Canadian weather?

Pro­tec­tion Plus cus­tomers receive wire­less instal­la­tions and can opt for well-known brands, such as DSC, Qol­sys, and Alarm.com. These sys­tems are designed for Cana­di­an con­di­tions, typ­i­cal­ly fea­tur­ing robust bat­ter­ies and cel­lu­lar failover capa­bil­i­ties. Your Alarm nev­er stops work­ing or com­mu­ni­cat­ing with your mon­i­tor­ing sta­tion — even dur­ing Ontar­i­o’s cold win­ters or pow­er out­ages.

What are the basic elements of a home security system?

The Pro­tec­tion Plus alarm secu­ri­ty sys­tem is designed with door/window con­tacts, motion sen­sors, touch­screen key­pad, inter­nal siren, and an option­al smart­phone mod­ule. They also have indoor/outdoor cam­eras, video door­bells, glass-break sen­sors, smoke/CO detec­tors, flood sen­sors and smart locks—all of which can be con­trolled remote­ly from the same plat­form.

Will pets trigger false alarms?

Pro­tec­tion Plus fea­tures pet immune motion detec­tors, which do not detect move­ment by ani­mals under a cer­tain weight (those weigh­ing 25 to 40 kg are con­sid­ered nor­mal). Their trained installers posi­tion sen­sors strate­gi­cal­ly to reduce false alarms, a boon to house­holds with dogs or cats. Also, you can adjust the sen­si­tiv­i­ty set­tings through the Alarm. com app.

I have heard that I can arm/disarm my security system from my cell phone. Is that true?

Yes. With Alarm. With com or Qol­sys con­trol, you can arm/disarm, view cam­eras, receive imme­di­ate alerts, and man­age your devices using a dual-end-user and installer app. Pro­tec­tion Plus is cross-plat­­form com­pat­i­ble, work­ing with iOS and Android sys­tems, and encrypts and pro­tects every­thing using Cana­di­an Data Servers where pos­si­ble.

How quickly do the police rush to the scene once an alarm is set off?

Pro­tec­tion Plus can uti­lize visu­al alarm ver­i­fi­ca­tion to ver­i­fy actu­al threats, requir­ing a pri­or­i­ty police response in sev­er­al Ontario regions. Their trained oper­a­tors respond instant­ly. Response times from the munic­i­pal­i­ty remain incon­sis­tent, depend­ing on the loca­tion; how­ev­er, a ver­i­fied alarm is tak­en more seri­ous­ly and can help pre­vent fines and delays.

Will a monitored alarm reduce my home insurance premium?

Yes. A Pro­tec­tion Plus mon­i­tored alarm sys­tem can help you obtain sav­ings of 5 to 20% on your home­own­ers’ insur­ance with most insur­ance car­ri­ers. They pro­vide you with a cer­tifi­cate of instal­la­tion and mon­i­tor­ing for your cho­sen provider. Car­ri­ers like sys­tems with ver­i­fied video and smoke/CO alerts, which Pro­tec­tion Plus has offered to insur­ers.
