Having an security system in your home can provide you a level of protection, but to get the most protection for your family and possession it must be a monitored security system. Here are 10 reasons why.

1. 10 KEY ADVANTAGES OF HAVING
A MONITORED SECURITY SYSTEM

2. Homeowners sometimes falsely believe
that an activated security system will
work just as well as one that is
monitored.

3. What is the Difference?
An activated security
system is one that can be
armed and disarmed. A monitored system is
one that is linked to a
service that can
summon appropriate
help when the alarm
goes off.

4. Here are ten key advantages of
having a monitored security system.

5. 1. HELP IS ON THE
WAY
Help comes within minutes of a
home invasion when the alarm has
been triggered.

6. 2. AVOID ALARM
APATHY
You can’t rely that people will
react to the sound of an alarm
because they are so use to
hearing car alarms and false
alarms they tend to ignore the
sound.

7. 3. PERSONAL SAFETY IN
THE HOME
In case of a home invasion
the security system will
sound an alarm and help is
summoned. The sound of
the alarm may scare off the
intruder.

8. 4. FIRE SAFETY
A smoke detector wired into
your alarm system means
help will be summoned
whether you are home or not,
even if the alarm is turned off.

9. 5. FAMILY PROTECTION
With a monitored system
someone is instantly alerted
that an invasion has occurred –
this can keep family members
from walking in on a potentially
dangerous situation.

10. 6. HELP IS SUMMONED
When a monitored
system goes off, help
will be on the way within
minutes.

11. 7. SAVINGS ON HOMEOWNER
INSURANCE
Many insurance companies
offer substantial savings to
homeowners who have
monitored systems.
Often times the savings cover the cost of annual
monitoring.

12. 8. DETER THIEVES
Research has shown that homes
that display signs that indicate
the home is under a monitoring
agreement are less likely to be
broken into.

13. 9. PANIC BUTTONS
A panic button will send an
instant signal to the
monitoring station which will
dispatch emergency help to
your home.

14. 10. OUT OF TOWN PEACE
OF MIND
If your house is broken into
when you are gone it
means your home is
vulnerable. With a
monitored system the home
can be secured much
quicker.

15. Protect your family and
possessions.
Make sure you have an activated
and monitored security system.
