GET AFTER SCHOOL PEACE OF MIND WITH SMARTHOME TECHNOLOGY

15. Aug 2019 Reed Security Alarm Systems, alarm.com, Calgary, Feature, Prince Albert, Regina

Smart home security is a back-to-school essential for many working families with older children.

With an array of after-school safeguards for your kids, it delivers peace of mind throughout the school year and for years to come. Your kids can even grow into it as they become more independent.

Fewer keys means fewer worries

As soon as your kids are old enough to arrive home on their own, Alarm.com starts making things easier with keyless smart locks and user codes for easy access.

Unlike keys, user codes can't be dropped, lost on the bus, or left in the door. If forgotten, its owner can ring the doorbell camera and you can unlock the door from work. Like a set of keys, however, your child's first user code can still confer a sense of responsibility that they'll love.

Technology makes check-ins less challenging

With every school year, your kids grow a little more independent. Meanwhile, you worry just as much as you ever did, and you need to know they're okay after school.

Your Alarm.com app is here to help, offering peace of mind via quick, visual check-ins. You can see a quick snapshot from any Image Sensor, view a live feed from your indoor or outdoor cameras, and even get front-door video clips of your kids arriving home.

If you prefer a hands-off approach, Alarm.com also offers a range of custom alerts for specific activity and events, such as the kids not arriving home on time, or even the video game cabinet being open for too long.

Smart reminders ensure that your house stays secure

As kids get older, they have more going on, which means they forget things. Unfortunately, this often includes securing the house when they're last to leave.

Alarm.com can help with actionable smartphone reminders. Once your teens have their own Alarm.com app, your house can remind them directly if a door isn't locked, or the garage is open, or the security system isn't armed when it should be. They'll be able to fix things quickly with a remote command.

As kids grow, Alarm.com keeps up

Alarm.com keeps up with your family as you grow. When it's time to add a new device like a doorbell camera or smart lock, Reed Security is on hand to help. We also deliver new features and updates digitally through the cloud, keeping your Alarm.com-powered home at the cutting edge of smart home technology.

DOES YOUR BUILDING REQUIRE A ULC CERTIFCATE FOR FIRE ALARM OR SPRINKLER MONITORING?

FIRE ALARM MONITORING 101

Fire alarm systems are designed to detect a fire in your building and alert the occupants to evacuate.
Fire sprinkler systems are similar and have the added ability to suppress a fire.
Neither has the ability to alert the Fire Department of a fire at your building - unless you add a fire monitoring system and 24/7 ULC Monitoring service plan with Fire Alarm, Fire Trouble and Fire Supervisory detection.
A Reed Security ULC Certified technician can install a fire alarm monitoring transmitter that meets the CAN/ULC-S561-13 national standard.

WHAT IS CAN/ULC-S561-13?

It's the fire monitoring standard written by the Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada (ULC).
It's the standard that is referenced in Building Codes and Fire Codes.
It provides maximum protection and safety.
It governs how fire monitoring equipment is installed, how it communicates and how its maintained.
It governs how 24/7 ULC Monitoring Stations are built and how they receive signals from your building.

WHY DO YOU NEED CAN/ULC-S561-13?

Fire Departments across Saskatchewan, including the Saskatoon Fire Department, are now enforcing the CAN/ULC-S561-13 national standard for fire alarm monitoring.
Building Inspectors and Fire Inspectors are performing random inspections and will request to see your ULC Certificate.
Most properties WILL NOT have a ULC Certificate (as the standard was not enforced in Saskatchewan until recently).
If you cannot produce a ULC Certificate there will be a deficiency placed against your building and you will be provided some time to get obtain one.
Failure to produce a ULC Certificate can result in large fines and delayed building occupancy.
The ULC Certificate is the only physical proof that your site meets the ULC Standard for fire alarm monitoring.
If your security alarm provider CANNOT issue a ULC Certificate they are not providing ULC-level monitoring.
Reed Security is ULC Certified for both installation and monitoring; Reed Security can issue a ULC Certificate.
CONTACT US today for your no obligation fire monitoring evaluation.

When a human or vehicle is detected a strobe light and audible alarm are triggered - a huge deterrence for unwanted visitors.

Instant alerts can also be sent to your smartphone.

All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit thermal radiation, even at low levels. This kind of radiation, invisible to the human eye, can be detected by thermal imaging sensors.

Thermal Cameras can produce images in the visual spectrum by detecting temperature differences between an object and its surroundings. The larger the difference, the bigger the contrast variety, making details visible. Thermal cameras can be used for applications in more challenging environments to detect people and fire.

Our partner Avigilon released ACC 7 video management software featuring Focus of Attention, a cutting-edge user interface for live video monitoring. It uses AI-powered self-learning analytics and Unusual Motion Detection technologies to help ensure critical events don't go unnoticed.
