Alarms

At the very least Genesis wants to protect the doors leading into the home. Most break-ins occur through a forced door.  We then address additional protection with the homeowner such as windows and motions sensors.  Monitored smoke alarm detection is extremely important as is furnace failure detection, water-level detection and carbon monoxide detection. Video surveillance can also be used to the desired scope of the homeowner. Lastly, new technology grants the homeowner greater control of their home security through mobile apps and home automation devices.

It’s important to remember that security systems provide more than just protection for your valuables and heirlooms. They can protect you and your family from intruders and home invaders just as easily as they can protect your laptop, jewelry and high-end audio system. How much you value that peace of mind is something only you can know, but in the end, you should do your best to factor this into your own personal cost-benefit analysis.

Most systems will begin beeping or chirping as a result of a “Trouble” condition being detected.  For most popular systems, beeping alarms can be silenced by pressing the [OFF] or [#] buttons from the keypad. If this does not work, please refer to your security systems user guide for specific instructions regarding “Trouble” conditions.

Your system allows for a brief grace period to disarm your system before an alarm signal is sent to the Customer Monitoring Center. This gives you enough time to cancel the signal and prevent a false alarm.

Home security solutions are similar in scope, however much different technically.  Wireless technology has evolved into a better solution with long-battery life.  Remote Services are available with Apps available to be connected to the security system remotely and a “lifestyle” component has recently been introduced, with integration to lighting controls, thermostats for temperature control and the ability to lock/unlock doors which are integrated to the security system in the home.

Genesis Security also uses cellular as a method of communication from your system to our monitoring center, it’s a much more secure connection compared to your typical land line. To clarify, we simply attach what is called a GSM cellular device to your security system and it connects directly to Genesis Central Station through local cell towers. Think of it as your security system’s own personal direct cell phone. Not only is it more secure than a land-line, but it’s less expensive.
