If you’ve been researching home security systems for a while, you’ve heard how they can protect your loved ones in an emergency - children, older adults, your spouse, and so on. You don’t often hear how a home security system can protect your furry loved ones - the pets that make your life such a joy.
Robberies and break-ins can happen in any home, and a home security system certainly protects you from burglary. A home security system should do so much more, though.
A fire alarm and carbon monoxide alarm should come standard with any system you have professionally installed. These are the alarms that offer real protection to your pets, because fires are much more common than burglaries.
When the home security system detects a fire or carbon monoxide, it sets off an alarm that’s transmitted to the call center monitors. Customer service personnel attempt to contact you, and if they are not successful, they dispatch emergency personnel to your home to assess what’s needed.
The extra few minutes gained by having a monitoring center contact emergency personnel when a fire alarm goes off could mean the difference between losing your precious pets and having the fire put out quickly.
Plus, you save thousands in fire damage to your home and possessions. That might pale in comparison to keeping your loved ones (even furry loved ones) safe during an emergency, but it counts. A quick alarm leads to a quick call for help.
Many people use the four-legged home security system to protect their possessions when they are away for the day at work. A fiercely barking dog tends to scare off intruders if it’s a Pit Bull or German Shepherd.
However, your Chihuahua or Pomeranian might not be that scary, even though he’ll bark like crazy if a stranger tries to break in to your home. With some dogs, you’d swear they would hold the door open so a burglar could take the flat-screen out of your home easier!
Installing a home security system won’t teach your dog not to bark, but it will let you be away from home with fewer worries about emergencies. Work without distraction, knowing intruders will be deterred and emergency personnel called if there’s a fire, flood, or freezing alarm. Your pet can’t tell call center monitors what’s going on, but a barking dog gives operators yet another clue when assessing emergency situations.
Your dog would probably nap comfortably all day if he only knew there was a home security system installed which protects him and your home! Well, you might not install your system so your pet can rest easier, but you’ll sure enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home is safe even if you’re not there.
Your home security system’s sensitivity can be easily adjusted to accommodate the movements of a small pet through your home, so false alarms are kept to a minimum. Keep intruders and home invaders out, and your pets safe, all day and night.
