Technology

Advancement in home security technology increases at an amazing pace. It seems every few months something newer and greater is released. And with every new advance, it makes your home and family a bit more safe and secure. But you have a home security system. It seems to work so if it’s not broke, why fix it?

There are so many reasons to upgrade and of course cost is at the top of the list. Many times, Forest can upgrade your system and offer you the same or even lower monthly costs. The newest technology Forest base system starts at only $39.95 a month an includes all the following:

 

Wireless Communications

Old security systems used telephone land lines to dial a central monitoring station in an emergency event. These old systems only tested monthly so if your telephone line was interrupted or cut you may not know for weeks or longer. Your security system would look like it is working fine, but it had no way to communicate, which is the perfect opportunity for burglars.

Security systems now use cellular radios and the best systems also use Wi-Fi backup for dual communication paths. These paths are continuously monitored so you will be alerted if there is a loss on either connection.

 

Remote Control

Is your system too old to connect remotely to your smartphone, tablet of computer? Forest’s system will allow you to control, view and monitor your home security from anywhere. And if you have old devices in place like door/window contacts, chances are they will work just fine with a new system. See more about the mobile app here
