Remember the older traditional home security systems that seemed to take forever to activate and deactivate. You'd be standing in front of your door for what seemed like forever punching in what seemed like far too many keys. While having an effective security system was important, at times it almost seemed like more trouble that it was worth….almost. Today, however, those cumbersome keypads are a matter of choice rather than necessity with the development of the keychain remotes. USAlarm gives you a great option for your home security system: keychain remotes.

USAlarm features small portable keychain remotes that give you the convenience of being able to control your home security system from your car, bedroom or at your convenience. The most common place people choose to keep their keychain remotes is on their key rings, although some keep them in their nightstand or headboard where they can be reached easily from bed. There's nothing worse than getting ready to fall asleep for the night and realizing you've forgotten to activate your USAlarm system and having to get out of bed. With the keychain remotes, you can do this from bed.

No more standing in the dark trying to disarm your system before entering your home. The keychain remotes allow you to disarm it ahead of time as well as arm it in "stay" or "away" mode. You can also configure a panic alarm of your choosing. The Smart Light Control Modules, which is integrated with the Interactive monitoring and the control panel, allow you to turn your lights on or off, control which lights you want to set or set up your own lighting schedule. This feature can also be used with the keychain remote from USAlarm. Dead batteries won't be a problem very often with the 5-8 year life span of the battery used in the keychain remotes.
