Why Cellular Home Security Systems Are Better Than Landline

Home Security Systems

In olden times protecting your home meant having a good strong lock on the doors and a pet or two around the house to bark when someone came over. Things were much simpler then and sometimes the old ways of getting things accomplished, like protecting your family and valuables, was more reliable than investing in the technology that was available at the time. Unfortunately, times have changes and buying locks and keeping dogs around today is simply not enough of a security measures to protect the things you love. As our society, has become more sophisticated, so have the criminals who invade our homes and threaten our well-being. In the early days of home security offerings, hard wire alarm systems, using conventional telephone cables was the only thing that sometimes stood between the home owners and an intruder. But advancements in technology have made hard wired systems a thing of the past. Today, wireless alarm monitored security systems are the most dependable and reliable home security defense providing a secured transmission even when there is no power, cellular signals become weak or hard to secure or the internet is down altogether.

Why Not a Landline?

Some people still might think that the use of a landline, or traditional telephone line, is the best, most reliable form of transmitting an alarm monitoring signal. Phone lines operate on a battery powered system and are operational even when the electric power goes out. Phone lines are easy to repair and traditional hard wired phone systems are still in use everywhere. Because phone wired systems are so easily accessible they are also vulnerable to disabling the phone line and the security system that is attached. When that happens, your alarm system will not be able to send a signal to the monitoring station if an alarm is triggered. Simply put, traditional phone lines in use for providing security systems have out lived their usefulness.

Cellular is Better

When you think about a cellular signal, like the ones our Wi-Fi computers and cell phones use, you think about dropped calls, poor reception or dead zones. Wireless alarm monitored security systems use a cellular signal strength much smaller in their operating requirements than traditional cell phone or computer use. Consequently, the signal strength required for a data signal to be sent from your alarm system to the monitoring station is much more secure and the cellular networks are constantly improving. If we lose a signal from one of our monitored security systems our technicians are alerted and will find the strongest signal from another tower. If a cell tower is being used for a particular location and it goes down, the signal is automatically switched to another closely located tower.
