What Are The Home Security Notifications That You Should Know About?

Alarm sys­tems have evolved beyond tra­di­tion­al door chimes and key­pads. Nowa­days, prop­er­ty pro­tec­tion sys­tems are so advanced that you can see in real time who’s at your door, even when you’re not home. You can receive home secu­ri­ty noti­fi­ca­tions and alerts that detail every­thing from unlocked doors to gas leaks.

There are four impor­tant wire­less home secu­ri­ty noti­fi­ca­tions that you should know about. Each plays an inte­gral role in keep­ing your home, your valu­ables and your fam­i­ly safe. You can receive these noti­fi­ca­tions on your Smart­phone, tablet and com­put­er, ensur­ing that you remain con­nect­ed to your home’s secu­ri­ty even when you’re out of the house.

1) Arm and dis­ar­ma­ment
You’ll get noti­fied each time your alarm sys­tem is armed or dis­armed. You can also arm and dis­arm your sys­tem with­out being home. This is per­fect for those times when you need to let a ser­vice tech­ni­cian in while you’re at work. You don’t have to be home to let some­one in or to lock up after they leave.

2) Win­dow and door sen­sors
These noti­fi­ca­tions are sent to you if a sen­sor is tripped. For exam­ple, if you leave your front door open or for­get to close a win­dow, you’ll be noti­fied ASAP. These sen­sors can also be set up to detect when safes, locked med­i­cine cab­i­nets, cel­lars and oth­er areas that need to remain pro­tect­ed are left open. You can even set up these win­dow and doors sen­sors in your garage to let you know if the door is ajar longer than it takes to park a car.

3) Ther­mo­stat, leaks and fires
These noti­fi­ca­tions deal exclu­sive­ly with tem­per­a­ture and gas safe­ty. If the tem­per­a­ture drops unex­pect­ed­ly in your home because of a ther­mo­stat mal­func­tion, you’ll know. If there’s a gas leak, you’ll find out right away. You can also change the tem­per­a­ture from your phone if you for­get to turn the heat off or want to turn it on as you leave work so you’re not com­ing home to a freez­ing house. More­over, these noti­fi­ca­tions let you know if there’s a fire or flood.

4) Pow­er loss
If there’s a pow­er out­age in your home, you’ll receive noti­fi­ca­tions let­ting you know. Fur­ther­more, you’ll be informed when the pow­er goes back on.
