This is a question that we get asked a lot. There is a pretty big price jump when going from your traditional land line to a cellular security system. So, what makes a cellular security system a better bet?
First off, cellular security systems are guaranteed to function 24/7. The same can’t be saidfor a land line or a broadband connection can’t make that guarantee. But how does this effect you in any way? The biggest thing is, that the whole reason you have a security system to begin with is to as a defense system to your home. The defense of the system comes from your relationship with the security system company in a time of crisis. If your connection with the security system company is cut off, then your system is rendered useless.
So, how does a cellular system differ from a traditional land line? The difference is how the security system company receives the messages being relayed. A traditional land line can certainly be reliable… most of the time. But your home is also safe… most of the time. When it’s not safe, is when you need the home security system to come through. If you need to call for help, you probably wont be able to because the land line might have been cut by a burglar. Or there is a terrible storm and it have taken out your phone lines and internet connection.
A cellular security system is not subject to this problem. It sends and receives messages via cell phone towers. Hence the name. But that also means 24/7 support and no wires to cut or break. In on the long term, investing in one of the top cellular security systems will save you time and put your mind at ease down the road.
