By Milos Pesic

In the main, monitored home security system is an alarm system that will react to the alarm being triggered by sending a signal to an emergency service, which then reacts to help you as soon as possible. It is a sure way that you will get help straightaway if something unpredicted happens to your property. Nevertheless, there are two possible ways to get connected to the monitoring center, either via a standard landline or via cell phone

The great advantage of being monitored via mobile phone is that the burglar cannot sabotage your phone line outside like he can do with a landline. Majority of people choose to locate their cell phone transmitter unit in the roof of their house just to make sure they have a good signal. It means that you will always be able to connect when there is most need for that.

The majority of monitoring companies will try to ring your phone back after they have received the signal that your home security monitoring system has been set off. The emergency is increased if there is no one home or if someone picks the phone up at home, but doesn't know the right password.

When you activate the alarm, it's not just the monitoring center that is immediately informed. Besides, there are alarm control panels with some additional buttons for other emergency services such as fire, medical, or police. On pressing the right button, the center will straightaway react in accordance with your request. This is a great thing, particularly for the elderly or sick, because it helps them stay calm and relaxed.

Deciding to get a monitored home security system means that you will have to pay a small price near the end of each month; however, you will not regret as it is really worth that money for the peace of mind. As a matter of fact, a monitored home security alarm system may reduce your home insurance payment so this compensates some of the monthly payment for the monitored system thus making it not as expensive as first thought. Due to that, you should better call your insurance company as soon as possible and check what their terms of installing a home monitored alarm system are.
