2 Features To Add On Your Alarm System

If you want to keep your family safe, there are a lot of things that you can do. One of those things is to make sure that you have an alarm system installed in your house. An alarm system will make sure that first responders come to your house when they are needed. They generally hook into your telephone system so that the alarm system can call the appropriate people and the first responders can get to you and keep your family safe. When you are looking at alarm systems, there are a lot of features that you can add in to make sure that it works for your family. 

Medical Alert

One thing that you can do is to get a medical alert to go along with your alarm system. These alerts generally are buttons that you can carry with you, either in your pocket or on some kind of cord around your neck. In a medical emergency, you can hit the button, which will alert the security company who can alert EMTs to come to your house. The benefit of these medical alerts is that the security company will have access to your medical information and they can pass it along to the EMTs so that they can be prepared to treat you as necessary. Another benefit is that you will always have a way to signal emergency services, even if you can't reach the phone. 

Pet Door Alarms

Another feature that you can look at is an alarm and security feature that will make sure that your pet door is alarmed. If you are worried about your pet being able to get in and out of their pet door, there is an easy fix for that. The alarm company will be able to put an RFID reader on the door and an RFID chip on a collar for your pet. When the reader senses the chip, the door will unlock and your pet will be able to use it. Without that chip, the door will remain locked, and if someone tries to get in that way, the alarm will go off. The chips are generally fairly small, so they won't get in your pet's way. 

Keeping your family safe and secure in your house is an important thing. One very easy way to do that is to make sure that you have a good alarm system installed. Contact a local company to get more information.
