#5 Beyond Alarm Intrusion
Consumers can now use their alarm systems to track and monitor more than just unauthorized entry. With new capabilities and features, alarm systems can detect or monitor smoke, fire, freezing temperatures, flood conditions, and more.
#4 Online Reviews
The internet now provides a number of website that consumers can use to research home security companies. Some of the most reputable sites include Yelp.com, epinions.com, or the Better Business Bureau. Other sites that provide good information include www.complaints.com and www.ripoff.com.
#3 Wireless Video
Ten years ago, only commercial customers could afford the complexity and expense of video security. Today, wireless cameras can be set up with relative ease, and make use of broadband connectivity that most consumers already have in their homes.
#2 Interactive Features
Consumers with alarm systems now have access to an incredible set of interactive features that include the ability to arm and disarm their home security systems remotely from any computer or enabled cell phone, plus much more.
And the #1 Alarm Innovation of the last decade:
#1 Cellular Alarm Monitoring
Cellular monitoring is the biggest innovation of the decade because it completely changes the way that consumers can protect their homes from intrusion. Traditional wired systems are incredibly vulnerable and can be disabled with a cheap pair of wire cutters in just a few minutes. Cellular alarm monitoring moves total alarm security to a new level that greatly increases the overall protection of any security system.
