Wireless security system saves homeowners money

More and more, people are installing home security systems on their own. For some homeowners it comes down to simple economics.

I dont like being held down to a contract, so the fact that I didnt have to pay somebody monthly meant that I could keep that money in my pocket, explains Damon Whitlow.

Whitlow has been monitoring his home security for a decade.

Two years ago he installed an iSmartAlarm. iSmartAlarm is a wireless home security system that allows him to keep an eye on his home from his phone. For just over $300, Whitlow installed a camera, two door sensors, and a motion detector.

To have a technician come out would cost about $500. For us, it took me 10 minutes and cost me nothing, said Whitlow.

By downloading the iSmartAlarm app to his phone he is able to control the entire system no matter where he is.

The camera is 360 degrees, so it does give me the ability to see anywhere in the room to monitor, Whitlow said while rotating the camera by swiping the screen on his phone.

When the system is armed and a door is opened or the motion sensor is set off, iSmartAlarm sends an alert text message to the Whitlows phone immediately followed by an automated call. Then its up to him to call 911.

Whitlow thinks thats the best feature the system offers.

The fact that if there is an emergency of a situation where I want to hit 'panic', I can just hit the button and it prompts me to call 911 and connects me directly to them," he said.
