Cell Phone Home Security October 28th, 2009
Until not that long ago, in order to have a Home Security System, you had to have a regular land-line phone.
This is no longer the case.
You can now have a burglar alarm system set up even if all you have is a cell phone. This is a great advance, and fortunate, because many people today only have cell phones, not seeing the need for a land-line phone.
Of course even if someone does have a land-line phone, they are free to opt for a Cell Phone Security System, because there are two main advantages:
1. With the Cell Phone System, a burglar is unable to cut your phone or cable wires to circumvent your Home Security System.
2. If your electricity goes out, with the Cell Phone System you still have security, because the back-up battery in your security system keeps the whole system running.
How does the Cell Phone Security System work without a land-line phone?
Well, a type of cell phone dialer is actually installed with the regular system. This is usually what is called a Telguard TG1. It’s pretty much like a cell phone except it only calls out, and it sends the signal to the monitoring command center that the alarm has gone off.
Then the command center calls you on YOUR cell phone. Of course, if there is no answer, they typically dispatch the police. If you answer your cell phone and you’re not home, by all means tell the command center to dispatch the police, since your alarm has gone off and you’re not home!
This Telguard Cell Phone Home Security system is more and more popular, and might be something you want to ask your Home Security professional about.
