Security Systems- Features and Services That Enhance Home Protection

Most security systems today offer a variety of products and services that help protect your property and loved ones.  Technology, developed in response to the need for more comprehensive and user-friendly home security features, now allows homeowners to effortlessly manage their systems whether at home or away.

Security Systems- Basic and Add-On Features That Enhance Protection 

Security systems include some basic features, as well as some that are optional but nice to have.  A basic home security system will include a control panel and touch pads for arming and disarming, window and door sensors, motion detectors and an indoor audible alarm.  Often, home security dealers will offer add-ons such as key chain remotes as part of a basic package. 

Security systems can also be upgraded to include personal emergency response, smoke, fire and carbon monoxide detectors and safety lighting both indoors and out.  Glass break sensors can be added to ground-floor windows, as well.  Flood and freeze sensors are available that can alert you to these dangerous conditions.

Monitoring services connect you and your home to live help 24 hours a day, in the event of a break-in or other emergency.  These centers contact emergency services if you are not home, and can assist in the event of a medical emergency, if necessary.  Another optional feature is video monitoring.  This allows homeowners to view their homes from a remote location.

Secure Your Family offers a Free Home Security System when you sign up for new service. Monitoring is provided by ADT® Security and is 24 hours a day / 7 days a week / 365 days a year. We are happy to provide a free keychain remote and we have several other add on offers available as well.
