Home Security System Can Make Coming Home Even Better By Alek Peterson Like it or not, we live in a society where home security systems are a necessity. Protecting our homes and families is no longer as simple as just locking the doors and staying away from strangers.
For many Americans, getting a home security system means turning to the largest provider of electronic security systems. The company has been around for over a century and provides valuable, dependable protection for more than six million customers in North America.
The company is committed to using the most up-to-date technology available to protect its customers. That was evident recently as they released details of a new passkey system that will make it even easier for customers to use their Home Security systems.
The new advance, called SafeWatch Safepass, allows customers to forgo using a password or code when disarming their home security system. Instead, a small key tag can be waved in front of the touch pad to disarm the system and enter the home.
Using this key tag instead of entering a code allows customers to easily enter their homes without worrying about juggling shopping bags, kids, or whatever else they're carrying at the time. Since the key tag can clip right onto a keychain or purse, it's convenient and unobtrusive.
But the beauty of the SafeWatch Safepass
lies not only in its convenience. This new technology also allows the homeowner to set certain windows of time in which the key tag can be used to enter the home. If the housekeeper or dog walker needs to get into the house at a certain time, the homeowner can give them the key tag to disarm the security system.
Giving out individual key tags is obviously more secure than giving out the security code to each person who needs entry to the home. And if each tag has a time restriction, this can prevent unauthorized entry by unscrupulous key tag holders.
One of the leading causes for home security system false alarms is forgetting the security code. This is not an issue with the SafeWatch Safepass.
Homeowners may also unintentionally trigger the alarm by taking too long to enter their code. This often happens because their hands are full when they come home. It's not always easy to unload an armful of items and then punch in the code within 30 seconds of entering the home. And with most Americans using over 10 passwords to manage various parts of their lives, recalling the right password at the right time can be extremely difficult.
It's easy to see why this new technology will be embraced by users. It will make
it even easier to come home to a safe and protected house every day.
