Keep Windows And Doors Secure In Your Kalamazoo Home

Nothing compares to the summer breeze drifting through your windows at night. Just remember to close and secure them when you leave! Your high-tech alarm system can assist by letting you know if an entry isn’t secure. If you try to arm your home, but inadvertently leave a window or door ajar, your system will inform you of the security lapse. You can have warnings delivered through your cell phone’s home security app regardless of your location.

Stay Protected When You’re Traveling

Numerous families holiday during the summer, leaving residences unoccupied for longer periods. An advanced security system with remote access will keep you connected, permitting you to view live surveillance camera video or saved clips through your cell phone. You may also program smart lights to illuminate at different times to make your residence appear inhabited. If something occurs, your system will alert you and your monitoring agents right away.
