Top 3 Home Security Solutions for Seniors Who Live Alone

Seniors who live alone are often targets for home invaders. Would-be intruders see our elders of 65 years and older as easier targets for burglaries and other crimes. But, as seniors, you can fight back with these top 3 home security solutions for seniors who live alone.

Our Top 3 Solutions to Get Started with Senior Home Protection

1. Monitored Alarm System
One of the first essentials for home safety is monitored alarms. A monitored alarm system means that your alarm is connected to a central monitoring station that will be notified once an alarm goes off at your home.

As someone who lives alone, it is comforting to know that if there is a problem, you can quickly notify someone and summon help. With a monitored alarm system, as soon as an alarm is triggered, the signal is also sent to the UL monitoring station. These stations are available 24/7, so no matter the time of the alarm, they can quickly assess the type of emergency and dispatch the relevant authorities.

2. Camera Surveillance
Installing surveillance cameras  is a great start for deterring criminals. Plus, they also give you the power to monitor the exterior of your premises without having to venture outside on your own. You can see exactly who is on your property.

You can also link it to your monitored alarm system for extra eyes protecting your property.

3. Smart Locks and Video Doorbell
What if you could see who is at your front door without opening it? That’s the beauty of video doorbells such as the  Skybell Doorbell  and other similar systems. You can see who is at your door and even answer – if you want to – without opening the door.

A smart lock allows you to lock and unlock the door from your smartphone. So, if you are not as mobile as before, you can easily see who is at the door on your smartphone and let them in if you want, all without going to the door.

How Do Alarms Communicate?

By Rence Coassin • November 23, 2020
Security alarms can communicate via internet (hardwired or WiFi depending on the system), phone line, or cellular. Often security alarms have two communication paths—one that is primary and one that is backup. ATP Alarms encourages all customers to have a back up form of communication in the event the primary fails. We believe that the best is setup for fast and reliable communication is internet/WiFi primary with cellular backup. We feel that the internet communication is the fastest while the cellular is most reliable. Traditional alarms relied on phone lines to communicate.
