- Protecting your home without a landline phone
No landline? No problem!
Landlines are disappearing rapidly, and customers are relying on cell phones more and more for communication. Because security systems have traditionally relied on landlines to communicate with monitoring centers, you might think that the security industry would be suffering – but that’s not the case at all.
As a matter of fact, the best way to have your security system communicate is through cellular technology. Just like your cell phones, the security industry uses cell towers to send signals to central monitoring stations.
In many instances, using cellular technology has more benefits than having your system connected to a landline. For example: Landlines can be cut, which makes it impossible for your security system to connect to the central station. This has been a growing problem throughout the U.S., and it’s likely that you’ve seen stories on the news in the last year about this happening right here in Minneapolis.
WH Security’s cell devices combat the growing issues of burglars disabling security systems and households dropping landlines. When researching home security systems for a first-time purchase or upgrading your current system, spend time looking into this often overlooked aspect of your home security system – how the system will communicate. One of our experienced sales representatives would gladly come out and make a site visit to go over system details and answer any questions.
We look forward to hearing from you soon!
