Interactive Monitoring Service

USAlarm home security systems have been known for their "next generation" features-features that make them unique and have made USAlarm a leader in the home security industry. All of their security products are made with state-of-the-art technology to ensure that you and your family are adequately protected from robberies, break-ins, smoke, fire and carbon monoxide damage among many other perils. One of their features that attract customers to USAlarm is their Interactive Monitoring Service.

Don't be confused between the Protection Monitoring and the Interactive Monitoring. USAlarm offers protection monitoring which includes burglar intrusion, fire & life safety and environmental safety. These are some of the most serious threats that affect homeowners and their families. The protection monitoring provides monitoring 24/7 to their central monitoring center. If they detect an invasion into your home, they'll dispatch the police or proper authorities. The fire and safety features will detect smoke in the air as well as carbon monoxide or excessive heat.

If the presence of any of these dangerous items is detected, appropriate help will be dispatched. Environmental help will detect conditions such as water or flood problems, or freezing temperatures in your home. Unlike many other home security companies, USAlarm does not charge extra for these features. With the efficiency of their digital cellular link, everything is wireless so vital information can be transferred to the central monitoring center without the fear of cut phone lines.

Interactive Monitoring provided by USAlarm is a step above the rest in quality and technology needed to give your home the maximum in protection. When you're provided with Interactive Monitoring, you're getting everything you get with Protection Monitoring plus much more. Here's where the "next generation" features come into play. This is the day and age of computers, internet, cellular phones and more. USAlarm has utilized these features to give you and your home the best possible home security.

Interactive Monitoring allows you to be in contact with your home and always know what's going on, regardless of how far away you may be. With internet access, you can customize your home security settings, change your user access codes, disarm on arm your system online and more. Mobile access allows you to control your alarm system through your PDA or any cell phone that has web access. You can even control the lighting in your home through mobile access.

Interactive monitoring allows you to get instant alerts of serious events going on in your home such as power failures or temperature changes. These alerts will also go to the central station dispatch. Text messages and emails will come to you letting you know if your front door is unlocked, a window is opened, or your child just arrived home from school. If your home security system becomes deactivated for some reason, you'll also be notified of that as well. Smart Home Controls are another unique feature of Interactive Monitoring. Smart Home controls let you be in charge of the climate, lighting or any appliances that may be plugged in at your home. Imagine being able to unplug that forgotten curling iron from your office computer.

The light control module, part of the Smart Home controls, lets you turn your lights off and on at will. You'll never have to worry about coming home to a dark house again. Nor will you have to worry about coming home to a hot house in the summer as you can turn the air conditioning on before you get home with the Smart Home Controls. Door and window sensors will let you know any time a door or window is opened or closed. Even if you're at work, you'll know if someone enters or leaves your home. The motion sensor will alert you if someone goes into a room they shouldn't be. With all the sensors and alerts you get with Interactive Monitoring, your home could not be safer.
