Nothing is more important in life than family, and parents will know how nerve racking it can be not knowing where your children are or what they are doing.
Of course you can't follow them around for their whole life, as they need freedom and room to grow, but at the same time it is important that you keep track of when they are home and when they are not in order to make sure they are safe.
One way you might want to do this is with a self-monitored home alarm system, which can offer you updates via SMS text message as to whenever someone activates or deactivates your security solution.
This is fantastic for busy working parents who might need to leave their children at home alone for a few hours each day after school, as it keeps them informed and gives them peace of mind.
But self-monitored home alarm systems aren't just for parents, they are also great for keeping track of elderly relatives and making sure they are safe and well.
Employers might even want to consider a system such as this to keep track of staff and make sure they are arriving to work on time and not skipping out early.
And of course, because a self-monitored alarm is a security system it also helps keep your home and property safe by deterring burglars and ensuring that should a break-in occur, someone is going to know about it.
With a self-monitored alarm, you are informed the moment your alarm system goes off, allowing you to respond immediately and ensure that no crimes are occurring on your property.
One alarm that offers SMS monitoring is the Bosch Solution 16 Plus Alarm System, one of the topBosch security systems on the market.
