The next big advantage is convenience. You as home or business owner will not need to worry about sick employees, covering shifts for vacations and holidays, and you will not have to worry about whether or not your home or business is being monitored. Even better, the monitoring is as simple as pushing a few buttons on the keypad to enable or disable. Some companies even offer the convenience of keycard or remote access for turning on/off the alarm system. There really is never enough that can be said when it comes to making the process simpler. Search for security companies and monitoring services that offer ease and convenience as those are well worth paying a little extra each month for most home and business owners.
If you are considering the investment of a video intercom system installation for your home or business you owe it to your family, your employees, and yourself to seriously consider the value that monitoring offers for the rather minimal price involved. Many companies offer 24/7 monitoring and response services for less than $50 a month depending on where you live. For the value it represents most families and businesses can manage to scrape up that much cash each month in order to receive the peace of mind and the benefits of security this affords their homes or businesses.
One final advantage to consider is the following. Even if you have a nice shiny state of the art system that is quite literally ear piercing when it goes off, this does not mean that anyone will be awake or around to hear it much less willing to call the authorities if it does go off. With a video intercom system installation you do not need to rely on the kindness of others to call for assistance when assistance is needed. You will have a service that is ready, able, and most importantly, prepared to do just that when the proper time arrives.
Another great advantage to monitored services is the fact that many offer additional monitoring for things such as fire, medical alerts (remember the "help I've fallen and I can't get up" commercials?), smoke, and/or carbon monoxide detection. This means that one service provides greater protection in many cases than several different tools and appliances within your home in other circumstances would be able to manage.
