Home Security System: Is Yours Pet-Friendly?
Burglars despise barking dogs and alarm systems despise jumping
cats, but with some initial thought, planning and new technology,
your pet can now live in harmony with a home security system and
you can continue to enjoy that welcomed feeling of security.
(PRWEB) February 3, 2005 -- Home security systems have come a
long way over the past few years and are now able to be designed
with little impact on not only your lifestyle, but also on your
pet's lifestyle. Older alarm systems were not very good at being
able to identify the difference between a burglar entering a home
or a cat walking to its litter box, but with new "pet-immune"
motion sensors incorporated into your system's design, alarms can
now allow both dogs and cats to enjoy their freedom without
setting off any false alarms. False alarms can not only wake you
out of a deep sleep or annoy neighbors during the day, but they
can also generate unneeded visits from your local authorities.
These newer "pet-immune" motion sensors should be considered
during the initial evaluation and design of a home's security
system--not only for your current and future pet plans, but also
for the next homeowner who could also benefit from a pet-friendly
system.
Another great improvement, is with glass break sensors, which are
also a great way to keep your pet's lifestyle intact while
keeping your home's perimeter protected. These small electronic
devices can be placed in a room and constantly monitor for any
window breakage during the day or night, while continuing to let
both you and your pet move throughout the home without the system
needing a code to disarm.
With the recent introduction of wireless one-touch keychain
remote controls (otherwise known as key fobs), the ease of arming
or disarming your home security system without the need for those
hard to remember codes has gotten a whole lot simpler. This can
be particularly important when your system is armed and your pet
needs a bathroom break or when you are returning home to a very
excited pup looking for some immediate attention.
Pets play a significant role in many of our lives today and with
a properly planned pet-friendly home security system, both you
and your pet's lifestyles can be minimally impacted while still
gaining that welcomed feeling of security.
