Why You Need a Home Security System

We’ve outlined eight main reasons you should consider installing a home security system in your home.

Deter Burglars Proactively

Security companies have levelled up their security systems by including multiple crime deterrent features. Not only that, but they now provide professional monitoring services. 

While you’re asleep or away from home, a remote monitoring team watches for anomalies in your property through live video surveillance and alarms. When strange activities occur, they’ll contact you and the authorities immediately so you can take action. Instead of other companies that alert you to break-ins once the intruder is in the home, PasWord Protection uses technology to alert break-ins as they’re happening. This means we can deter and stop burglars before they’ve entered your home.

Security companies in Ontario eliminate false alarms, too. A fast movement from your pets or random visits from relatives tend to trigger an alarm system. Before the monitoring committee calls the authorities for help, they’ll contact you first to see if you’re expecting anything.

Get 24/7 Protection on Your Valuables

A security system installed on your property ensures your belongings stay where they are. Home invasions can happen any time of day, and having no means of protection leaves you vulnerable to theft. Most break-ins in Canada happen during the daywhen people are at work, especially during summer when many people go on vacation or are away from home for longer periods.

When a burglar steps onto your property, the home alarm system automatically emits warning sounds or turns on bright lights to deter them. If an intruder evades alarms and cameras, motion sensors and glass-break sensors will trigger alarms. The offshore monitoring committee will immediately notify you and the authorities for a quick response.

Prevent Vandalism on Your Property

Vandalism cases are rising across all cities in Ontario. Not one household is safe, because vandals can choose any property to deface. Installing a home security system can prevent this issue. 

When a service provider installs indoor and outdoor cameras, they’ll ensure they cover all zones and blind spots. This means your property is protected from all sides. Additionally, motion sensors are scattered throughout the environment and will effectively respond to any movement. 

Detect Fire and Gas

Home security systems aren’t just for deterring property crime. Equipped with anti-elemental alarm systems, such as smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and flood alarms, they’re also for detecting environmental hazards. With these in your home, you’re safe against fires, gas leaks, and sudden floods, especially when you aren’t home to detect them yourself. 

When any of these alarms are triggered, your assigned monitoring committee will confirm the incident before contacting emergency responders. Once confirmed, expect fast reactions from authorities who’ll keep your home safe from environmental hazards.

Use Remote Access

Home security protection has gone wireless, and almost every security company has a mobile app that allows remote access to your home. This advanced feature gives you full control over security cameras, smart door locks, and other smart home devices. In just one tap, you can activate locks and alarm systems to protect your home while you’re away.

Additionally, remote access allows you to have more control over your property. For example, if you’re approaching home, you can turn off alarms. If a family member returns from school, you can unlock the doors, see them safely inside, and then lock the doors behind them.

Lower Home Insurance Premiums

Installing a home security system can lower your home insurance premiums with a discount. Essentially, your insurance providers will see that your home is safer and less likely to have problems, so you can pay less on home insurance.

Have Increased Temperature Control

Our environmental hazard detection goes beyond fire and gas. When you’re away from home, you can confidently track and manage the temperature in your home. Not only does this help reduce gas bills, but it also allows full control over your home if you have family members or pets you want to keep comfortable.

Have Peace of Mind

Why is residential security important? It’s more than the physical products and associated benefits. It’s also about your family’s peace of mind. 

Whether you live in a rural area with lots of wooded surroundings, or a tall apartment building in a bustling city, home security systems provide confidence inside and outside of your home. Sleep soundly knowing your home is protected, or leave family members and pets at home while you leave knowing they’re monitored.
