Home Security Systems of Yesteryear

Home security systems are nothing new. It started with simple keys and locks on the front door, continuing with watch dogs and vigilant neighbors. But as time moved on, greater protection was needed. And as technology progressed, home security systems were born.

The Past: Landline Home Security Systems
As effective as they were, earlier wired home security systems were pretty expensive, and, therefore, confined to those few people who could afford them. These systems also required intensive installation, numerous wires throughout the home for every access point and sensor, and a dedicated landline to access the monitoring system. And if you wanted to move, removing the system was a chore.

The Present: Wireless Home Security Systems
To address the issues presented by a wired system, the wireless technology home security system was created. Instead of needing a landline for communication and monitoring, wireless alarms and sensors communicate via a central control panel. What’s great about these systems is that they are easier to install and configure, and at a much more affordable cost too. This lets many more people feel secure when they are in their home – and also when they are not. Most wireless systems, like the SafeTouch Smart Home security system, can be monitored from mobile devices even when you’re away from home.
