Having a residential or commercial security system can be a smart, affordable and reassuring investment. However, investing in an alarm system has many variables (some of which we talked about here) that must be considered.
With so many new technologies available there are many options when installing or upgrading your security system. If you choose the DIY route then you must rely on your own research to make sure you are acquiring the alarm options that will best fit your needs. If you choose to partner with a professional security company (such as Tasco Security) you will have a trusted source of knowledge that will help steer you to those technologies that will most benefit your security needs.
One of Tasco Security's newer technologies available is an app called AlarmAccount that allows you to interface with your alarm system. This technology, available on the App Store, enables users to take the following actions with your alarm system:
- Cancel an alarm
- Place accounts on and off test
- View alarm event history
- Update contact information
All of these features can be extremely valuable to users for a variety of reasons. Users can cancel an alarm remotely from their device, which allows them to avoid municipal charges for false alarms. Users can also put their system on a disregard status if they want to change their batteries or test their alarm without fear of accidentally dispatching authorities.
Another useful scenario is the ability to update unique passwords for vendors/service providers, such as a painter or housekeeper, without having to contact your alarm company or central station.
Users of AlarmAccount can check their history to see data about things such as if their service provider/employee etc. was in-or-out as planned. Additionally, users have access to system reports and event logs which can be helpful to small business owners and residential customers alike.
These are just a few of the features that new security related technology provides. If you are interested in learning more about AlarmAccount please contact us today and we would be happy to discuss if this product is a good option for your security needs.
