Security Systems of the Future

Many of the features of electronic security systems are futuristic. In the electronic age, you would expect a security system installation to follow suit. This is happening, and the internet, cellular phones, and wireless technology have all impacted security system technology. Cellular phones are now used to relay an alarm signal to a monitoring center. This is a big change, because basic land lines can be easily cut, and then you are relying on the monitoring center to run regular time tests. With cellular back-up, the security system is more “fool-proof” and burglars have a tougher time breaking in without getting caught.

Wireless technology has been an active part of security system technology for years, however it is only now getting to the point where it is as reliable as it should be. Many nationwide companies have used faulty wireless security equipment to make the installation process easier, and as a result the systems they install are often dysfunctional. For example, a friend of mine has an ADT security system and every once in awhile the system goes “ding ding” thinking that a window has opened. This is an example of faulty wireless security equipment.

The internet has been introduced to security system technology very late, but it’s here. Now, you can arm or disarm your security system over the internet with many security manufacturers. Another great technology is security systems that can use a home or businesses network to relay a signal to a monitoring center. It has taken a while for wired and wireless network technology to become reliable enough for a security system to use, but that time is now.

These are all new technologies that security systems can have. Progressive Technology has the capability to install and maintain all of these new security system technologies. If you are interested, call today: (800) 577-2527.
