Home alarm systems can cut down your insurance costs

A new alarm system, properly installed and regularly serviced, can be a great way of deterring burglars and reducing the risk of theft or vandalism to your home and contents. But did you know that many insurance providers also offer a discount for homes which have a reliable  security system  installed? A home which has a good alarm system is much less likely to be broken into, and the chance of catching any burglars who do attempt an unauthorised entry is greatly increased. That is good news for the insurance agency, as it is therefore less likely to have to pay out for repairs and replacements. That is why they are willing to offer you a discount on your monthly premiums.  These can vary depending on the provider and the complexity of the  home alarm system  in question, so it is worth contacting a variety of insurance agencies to find out just what discounts they can offer you. Regardless, there is no doubt that investing in a strong home alarm system can...

Smartphone alarms are the way of the future.  Be connected at all times and DIY the alarm yourself. With the Connect O2 you can arm/disarm your alarm system via your mobile phone. Receive push notification of an intruder directly to your mobile.  Pair this up with a CCTV system and you will have instant pictures of the intruder also. The Connect O2 from Helix has the ability to add on Z Wave modules onto the system, making home automation extremely affordable for this panel.
