Top 3 Questions to Ask Every Alarm Company
Are you looking for an alarm system to protect your home or business? Getting the right information before you purchase your security system is critical to ensure you make the best decision.
In this episode of Security 101, security expert, Peter Rogers discusses three questions you should ask every alarm company.
1. Does your alarm system include a cellular radio?
An alarm system using a cellular connection is both safer and more convenient. Having a cellular radio means that the alarm system is not dependent on a telephone landline or broadband cable connection, unlike traditional alarms. This provides safer protection, as a potential burglar can no longer disable the system, simply by cutting the phone line or cable. Additionally, cellular is more convenient. On average, there are 700,000 phone lines across the U.S. being eliminated each month, as consumers switch to VoIP or cell phones as their primary voice communication. With its built-in cellular radio, every FrontPoint system communicates on its own, saving you even more money.
2. What types of interactive features does your company provide?
With modern technology, you can arm or disarm your alarm system remotely, and receive notifications when alarm sensors are triggered in your home or business. There are also iPhone and Blackberry apps available that can enhance remote access and control. Additionally, with video cameras, you can watch live video streaming, or receive motion-activated video clips of what is happening in your home/business.
3. How do I get the system set-up?
Most traditional alarm systems require that a technician come to your home or business to install the system. With FrontPoint, the alarm system setup is just a few easy steps, and many customers are set up in minutes. FrontPoint pre-programs every alarm system before sending customers, to ensure the setup and activation process is very easy – and then confirms that every sensor is working before you go “live.”
FrontPoint alarm systems are 100% cellular, include interactive features, and can be set up easily by many customers in about 30 minutes. It’s a great solution for anyone looking for safer, smarter, simpler security.
