Burglars attack a home in the US every 13 seconds, according to the FBI. An alarming majority of these incidents, or 85 percent of break-ins, are committed by non-professionals that are usually desperate and dangerous. Technology has also created new threats that demand for tighter home security.
Level up your home security system by installing alarm communicators which report attacks to authorities when you're away. If you haven't used a communicator before, here's an easy way to understand how it works: when your alarm system is triggered, it signals the alarm communicator which in turn notifies a central security monitoring station. The station shall immediately contact you to confirm the threat, or if you fail to respond within a specified time, will request appropriate authorities. Alarm communications can help ensure 24/7 protection.
Installing an alarm communicator is not enough to guarantee that your home is well-protected. It's important that you have a reliable home security system that can efficiently detect threats. A Honeywell alarm system features comprehensive security including motion sensors, wireless surveillance cameras, and monitoring service. It can also alert you and the authorities of smoke from fire and the presence of carbon monoxide. With Honeywell, you can always have peace of mind.

Wireless communications reduces the risk of interruptions, thus ensuring that your alarm system is linked to a central station 24/7. A wired broadband connection can be disrupted by simply cutting off the lines or during power outage. Wireless communications can operate on the alarm system's backup battery. It is also easier to secure data transmitted via cellular channels. Upgrade your home security system with a wireless alarm communicator!
