Monitored Security System
When it comes to security systems, there are options for monitored and unmonitored systems for homes and businesses. Security for a property can include personal security practices in addition to security hardware used throughout said property. When it comes to security hardware, this might include alarm systems, doors, locks, lighting, a security camera system, motion detectors, and more. A monitored security system is one that might be actively monitored whether that is by a home security company or someone else.

With a monitored security system for a property, if a break-in is detected, a notification can be sent out. And with this system in place, one does not have to worry about checking their system when they are not there. Instead, someone can do it for you. This of course depends on the type of system that you have. Whether it is for a home or business property, a benefit to monitored security systems is the peace of mind in knowing that someone is paying attention to what is happening at your property.
Do you want your system set up by someone proficient? Of course you do! When you opt to use a monitored security system, this might come with the set up included, which might be a benefit for you.
When you use an unmonitored system (which might be self-monitored), you might be the one to set up the system. Whether your system has motion sensors, smoke detectors, an alarm, door sensor or window sensor – or everything mentioned above, is up to you. But the key difference is that this is a system that is not being monitored by someone aside from the property owner.
We are going to discuss a few scenarios in which a monitored system would be better to have than an unmonitored system.
Unmonitored systems cannot be expected to offer the same degree of protection for a property. We are going to assume that your system is connected to your smartphone, so you can have remote access. What happens if you are not home, and an alarm is going off? What if this happens at your business property when no one is there, and you are on a plane without service, in the middle of a meeting where you are not checking your phone, or what if you are in another situation, such as on a road trip, without phone service? What are you supposed to do? In situations such as these, it would be very advantageous to have a monitored system.
When it comes to security systems, there are options for monitored and unmonitored systems for homes and businesses, as discussed here. In terms of security hardware as part of a system, this might include alarm systems, doors, locks, lighting, a security camera, motion detectors, and more. A monitored security system is one being actively monitored whereas an unmonitored system might just be checked (at random) by the property owner. Now you know the difference!
