How Smart Security Systems Work

A monitored alarm system transmits alarm signals to an alarm monitoring center, or what you'll often hear us call the "central station."

This means when someone kicks in your door or if a fire breaks out, your system can automatically kick in and alert the authorities.

Without 24/7 monitoring, dialing 911 won't connect you to the correct authorities unless you're calling from the same police precinct as the one your home is in. Our central station in Rocky Hill, CT will always dispatch the right people to an emergency, wherever you are.

It's a common misconception that wireless systems are less secure than wired systems. While a lot of consumer-grade wireless technology is designed for convenience rather than security, we give you the best of both worlds.

Our top of the line Honeywell Lyric Controller protects your wireless home security system using 128-bit AES encryption, the same level of encryption used by national banks.

According to data storage company Seagate, it would take the world population 77,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years to crack the encryption key.

Even if someone smashes your alarm system with a hammer, it'll still go off.

If you use a smartphone, having an app to control your system gives you a great deal of flexibility and full control of your home, wherever you are.

Your smartphone essentially becomes a remote control, enabling you to set the alarm, turn on lights, communicate with people at the door or inside, see a “live” feed from your camera, or even adjust the thermostat.

Some solutions rely on multiple apps to handle individual devices like your cameras, smart thermostat, lights, and alarm system, but our app does it all: security and automation.
