Monitored Home Security Never Goes on Vacation


The vibrant, noisy fun of most July 4th celebrations in the many towns and cities across this nation are also an ideal opportunity for home break-ins and vandalism. You may not have thought about it, but after all, while everyone’s attention is diverted elsewhere – to backyard barbecues, to July 4th fireworks, to music festivals - criminals have the best cover to do their dirty work. 

Not only that, but the noise and commotion are ideal for a quick and quiet break-in without fear of being discovered.

For home security that never goes on holiday, take a look at the benefits of a monitored home security system from GuardMe Security:
  • Reduced risk of theft – if a thief or intruder unknowingly enters a home with a monitored home security system, they will generally exit immediately upon hearing the alarm because they know that someone is contacting you right now and emergency assistance may already be on the way. It’s simply too risky to stick around.
  • Convenient automation – with a monitored home security system, you can set controls that help you secure your home even when there is a lot going on – like when everyone is walking down the block to the neighbor’s annual July 4th barbecue. Setting automation controls means that if you go outside your lawn, the house will automatically secure itself and set the alarm.
  • Affordable insurance rates – because insurance companies recognize the value of monitored home security systems, they’re willing to reduce a homeowner’s insurance rates due to the reduced risk of fire, burglary, flood, and more. Often, the discount you can earn with your homeowner’s insurance will pay for the monitored home security.
  • Quicker emergency response – with a monitored home security system, help can be dispatched directly should a life-threatening emergency occur. For seniors who want to live independently, a home security system can act as their life alert as well because with the press of a button on the keypad or keychain remote, help can be dispatched without having to dial 911.
What most homeowners enjoy from their monitored home security is genuine peace of mind. One of the best benefits of installing a monitored home security system in your home is knowing that your home, your possessions, and most importantly - your loved ones – are a lot safer from the risk of break-ins and attacks. 

Of course, as any police officer will tell you – the neighborhoods with higher ratios of installed home security systems continue to be the neighborhoods with the lowest overall crime rates. It makes sense, after all. Criminals want easy targets, not hard ones and monitored home security makes your home a less easy target. So, by installing a home security system, you’re increasing the value of your home, the value of your neighborhood, and helping your neighborhood climb to the top of the ‘crime free’ charts – even on noisy holiday weekends.

Keychain Remote Controls- Keep Your Home Secured in Pocket


Home automation and integrated home security systems are technologically far more advanced today than even just two years ago. It’s hard to keep up with all the changes and advancements. For instance, you may not know about being able to now operate your home security with a key chain remote control. It’s a simple way for homeowners to streamline their home security. A keychain remote control provides a higher level of control to your home security system.
Here are some of the things you can do with your home security keychain remote:
  • Arm and disarm your system – great for when you’re heading out for a run or pulling into the driveway; works just like opening your garage.
  • A single push panic button to activate the security alarm and contact the monitoring center – great for when you can’t reach the standard panic button and your keys are in your pocket.
  • Turn on or off the lights that are connected to your keychain remote. Excellent when you want the driveway light temporarily but don’t need it on all night.
The arming and disarming function of your keychain remote activates all the security devices in your home – motion detectors, door and window sensors, surveillance cameras, etc. – in one fluid motion. For many homeowners, a home security system activated by their keychain remote makes a lot of sense – particularly if you are in and out of your house a lot or simply in the yard and want the convenience of controlling your home security and home automation at your fingertips.
Keychain remote controls are a great way to ensure the security of:
  • Kids who come home from school to an empty house – the keychain isn’t activated until they get close to home, so it’s useless if stolen or lost.
  • Elderly family members who struggle with technology and find operating the home security control panel difficult.
  • Individuals with physical disabilities who may find it difficult to enter or exit the home in time to arm or disarm the alarm.
  • Visitors or home care workers to whom you don’t want to give a key but need access to your home when you’re not around.
  • Busy people who are always on the go and are often carrying lots of items like bags of groceries, young children, big boxes, etc.
In fact, at GuardMe Security we recommend that all our customers get the keychain remotes to make things easier. Even if you don’t use them all the time, they are a great backup resource for your home security system. Read Original Article about
