Simplify your Security with a Sim Card Based Alarm System

In the last few years, Cellular Technology has virtually invaded all aspects of our life. Be it communication, banking, shopping, there is nothing that can’t be done using a cellular phone.

So why leave the security of your home to stationary alarm systems that leave a miniscule percentage of doubt in your mind?

What if a burglar cuts through or bypasses the alarm system?

While it can certainly deter a burglar, no alarm system can be a foolproof method of safeguarding your home.

But a sim card based alarm system certainly outperforms all the other ones due to its efficiency and foolproof nature.

How does a sim card based alarm system work?

A lot of security systems in the older days relied on hard wired landline networks to relay a distress call to the CMS (Central Monitoring Station). But over a period of time, it was noticed that burglaries were still happening.

A burglar requires just a bolt-cutter or a hedge-trimmer to cut through your landline and this renders most alarm systems ineffective.

With a sim card based alarm system though you have multiple modes of communication to the CMS and to the owner of the home.

It relies on GSM technology and relays the panel health via SMS to the owner from time to time. The GSM/CDMA communicator is 2 way and also allows the owner to monitor the health of the system via SMS.

Why it is foolproof?

Because the moment the sensor triggers an alert, an SMS will be sent out to both the monitoring station as well as you.

How does it make life simpler for you?

The Guard MC G+ cellular alarm system is loaded with features like 8 wired and 8 wireless zones, independent battery backup, fully automated periodic status report by SMS for Mode conversion, AC fault / restore, battery low / restore, bypass events and alarm notification & a pre-recorded Voice message delivery to GSM Mobile phones and land line phones in the alarm mode.

You can store up to 5 different mobile phone numbers for the delivery of the SMS.

If you are looking for a robust security system that is almost impenetrable, then a sim card based alarm system is the way to go.

Your CCTV and its eye: the Lens

Many a time customers purchase an expensive CCTV Security Camera Kit and invest their energy, time and money to install it only to discover that the footage does not serve the purpose of installing the camera. 

Fire safety tips for your family

Its always better to be safe than sorry. Take these simple steps to prevent injuries caused by fire and burns.

1. Install smoke detectors on each floor just outside sleeping areas and outside the kitchen

2. Keep a dry chemical extinquisher in the kitchen

3.  Put antiscald devices for your showers, bathtub and sinks. They stop waterflow when the temperature exceeds 49 degrees

4. Put electric shock covers on all sockets to prevent children from shock

5. Replace worn off cords. Tightly tape any joins  and extension cords. Do not run them under rugs.

6.  Do not smoke in the house. 

Setting up a Home Alarm System

Statistics alone are testimony to the fact that burglaries and intrusion attempts are significantly lower in homes that are protected with Alarm systems.

Even the attempts which are made are more likely to be thwarted.

And unlike the past when Home security was considered to be exclusively made for the rich and famous, today they are cost effective and most homes rely on them.

So how can you set up a home alarm system? What all are the factors that you need to consider? Let’s take a quick look.

Installing an IP Camera at home

The rising demand for quality home security combined with the convenience of remote surveillance from any corner of the world has made IP Cameras ubiquitous.

If you are new to Surveillance technology, then you can very well mistake the IP Camera to be a counterpart of the Web Cam which is commonly used for socializing online. But the similarity between the two is limited to the fact that the recorded feed can be viewed online.
