Smart Home Technology

Smart home technology which may also be termed Home automation is the use of devices in the home that connect via a network, most commonly a local LAN or the internet. It uses devices such as sensors and other appliances connected to the Internet of things (IoT) that can be remotely monitored, controlled or accessed and provide services that respond to the perceived needs of the users. 

It stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. The technology was originally developed by IBM and was referred to as Predictive failure analysis. The first contemporary Smart home technology products became available to consumers between 1998 and the early 2000s.  Smart home technology allows users to control and monitor their connected home devices from Smart home apps, smartphones, or other networked devices. 

Users can remotely control connected home systems whether they are home or away. This allows for more efficient energy and electric use as well as ensuring your home is secure. Smart home technology contributes to health and well-being enhancement by accommodating people with special needs, especially older people.

Holiday Burglaries

‘Tis the season to be … burglarized.

In several states, according to the FBI, December is the peak month for holiday burglaries as folks leave homes unattended during the holidays.

In California, for example, there were 21,900 burglaries in December – 18% more than the average month.

Nationally, burglaries peak during the summer vacations, though December is close behind.

In many places, the week following Christmas has the heaviest burglary caseload.

Philadelphians, for example, reported 194 residential burglaries the week starting December 24th. Compared that with an average of 143 for the same period during the following five months.

The post-Christmas burglary jump also holds true for small towns.

Factors Responsible for Burglaries

Many families take off, leaving homes empty — except for all the gifts. And winter storms can make it obvious that nobody’s home.

Criminals drive through neighborhoods looking for places to burglarize. If there’s newly fallen snow that hasn’t been shoveled, they figure the home is empty.

In addition, many townspeople put their beautifully decorated Christmas trees — and all the gift packages stacked beneath them — right at the front of the living room.

Burglars can walk around and window-shop.

The criminals are already aware that homes are filled with loot this time of year — jewelry, televisions, smart phones and computers. Sometimes homeowners advertise what they got for Christmas by putting out for trash collection the empty boxes their gifts came in.

Criminals find out what you got for Christmas.

Daylight offers no deterrent: 65% of these crimes occurred between 6 AM and 6 PM, according to the FBI.

Police solve only about 13% of reported burglaries and do not recover all the goods even when they do nab the criminals. Losses average $1,675 per break-in.

To minimize risk, police advise homeowners to cut up boxes and stuff them into black garbage bags before putting them out for collection.

Being Away on Vacation puts your Home at Risk

And, when you’re on vacation, don’t make it obvious that you’re away. Have someone clear your walk, get your mail and turn lights on and off at different times.

And, be discreet about divulging plans on social media. Not everyone in the world has to know that you’re going to be in Cabo San Lucas for a New Year’s celebration.

Social media is a great thing for people but it’s a great thing for criminals too. Criminals stake out the Internet.

And the best defense of all is a monitored alarm system and/or smart home system from Rendin Alarm in Morton, PA!

The Holidays are Coming, Protect your Assets.

This is the beginning of the gift giving season. It is also the beginning of Holiday Travel Season. Many homeowners are away, many small businesses have given their employees off and that creates opportunity for theft. In order to protect your home, make sure security measures are in place while you are away.

Lock all windows and doors and put your interior lights on a timer. Have a friend or neighbor pick up your mail, take out your trash and park in your driveway. Also, exterior lighting on motion sensors is a great way to scare off would-be intruders. And finally, the best line of defense, install a monitored alarm system from Rendin Alarm Company! There are many options to choose from. Consider smart home technology which provides remote access through cameras, which can be view by any smart device.

Furthermore, smart home technology can integrate with your home or business systems such as lighting, HVAC, powered locks, electric garage doors and so much more! In addition, we can install the Ring Doorbell System and add it to your home’s security package.

Exciting Program – Free Monitoring for Three Months!

As the Holidays approach, Rendin Alarm wants to give you the gift of Free Monitoring for THREE MONTHS! Rendin Alarm Company will provide you with Free Monitoring for three months when you purchase and have us install a new alarm system in your home!

Burglars are watching your homes to see if you are away over the Holidays. In addition, these thieves are looking at your trash! Big boxes that once protected your new flat screen TV or Appliances motivate a burglar to rob your home. Furthermore, they look for patterns letting them know when you are home.

Here are some facts about alarm systems.

Common Myths About Burglar Alarms

• An alarm system is burglarproof.
  • False.  Nothing is burglarproof.
    Alarm Systems work more as a deterrent, but if a burglar wants to smash in a door or break a window, the alarm system can’t stop that.
• You will never have a false alarm if you purchase the salesman’s alarm system.
  • False.  Any system can produce a false alarm if installed or operated incorrectly.
  • At Renin Alarm Company in Morton, PA, we pride ourselves on quality installations, which are tested thoroughly before put into action.
• The Police Department endorses a specific alarm company and provides a quicker response because none of their alarms are false.
  • False.  The Police Department does not endorse any company.
  • Although, we are sure they love us!
• When your alarm is activated, the responding police officers can hear what is going on inside your home over their car radios.
  • False.  The Police Department does not have this technology.
  • But with Smart Home Technology such as Total Connect Remote Access, YOU can!
• Your alarm is connected directly to the Police Department’s Dispatch Center.
  • False.  There are currently no private alarm systems directly connected to the Police Department’s Dispatch Center.
  • Your alarm system is connected to Rendin Alarm’s Central Monitoring Center and when appropriate, the police will be called and dispatched.
• Alarm systems reduce crime because the burglars are arrested as a result of your alarm system.
  • False. Less than 1% of alarm calls result in an actual arrest.  Prominently displayed alarm stickers, signs, and an audible alarm can discourage potential burglars from entering your home.
  • Again, alarm systems are a very effective deterrent.  Burglars often see the alarm sign and move on.  But once the alarm sounds and lights go on, they tend to flee.  Keeping them out of your home is the ultimate goal and at Rendin Alarm, we help do just that!

Test Your Alarm System

You should test your alarm system regularly – especially if you have a hard-wired system.

Few things are as important as the safety of your own home. Ensuring that your loved ones and property are safe from burglary and other crimes is a top priority.

While passive defenses like walls and fences may deter some burglars, there’s always the risk of a criminal who is willing to go the extra mile to break in. That’s why a home security system is a critical component of keeping your home and family safe.

Home security systems are not all designed with the same capabilities. One of the key factors to consider is whether the alarm monitoring system you are considering is cellular-based or landline-based.

So without a cellular or wireless system, it is critical that you test your alarm system regularly!

Cellular vs Wireless

You might have encountered the terms “cellular” and “wireless” when researching security systems. While both cellular and wireless security systems are characterized by a lack of wires, they are fundamentally different when it comes to home security.

When the term “wireless” is used in a home security context, it means that the sensors and the control panel are linked wirelessly via radio waves instead of physical wires in your home.Wireless systems allow for a more flexible, convenient setup of monitoring devices. They also ensure that the sensor network will not be vulnerable to the same wire-cutting security risk that plagues landline-based systems.

“Cellular,” on the other hand, refers to how the control panel communicates with your security company’s alarm monitoring center. Cellular-based security systems use mobile cellular networks (instead of a landline phone) to contact the monitoring station in an emergency situation.

The ideal security system combines both concepts—a wireless alarm system with cellular alarm monitoring. This completely wireless system is more convenient and reliable than one that relies on wires.

Wireless vs Cellular Alarm Systems

Wireless vs Cellular

Let’s talk about wireless vs Cellular. Today more and more businesses have switched over to Voice Over IP systems.  But in the event that those powered systems go down due to a power outage, your alarm system will not work.  You are at your most vulnerable when your power is out, you don’t want the added risk of no alarm.  So you need to switch to a cellular radio network.  Rendin Alarm can help.  We want you to think about scenarios such as pets left home alone.  In the event of a gas leak or carbon monoxide leak when the system is down, they are at risk.

Honeywell Wireless Alarm System.

In the context of home security systems, a distinction is made between wireless and cellular in order to differentiate the transfer of alarm signals within the home with how signals are sent from the home to the outside.

• ‘Wireless’ refers to the communications method inside the home between the sensors and the control panel.
• ‘Cellular’ pertains to the wireless approach used to send signals from the control panel to the outside such as to the monitoring station or to a smart device.

To clarify further: Inside the home, communications between the alarm system’s sensors and control panel are either wired or wireless. When an alarm is triggered, the control panel can be set up to contact the monitoring station through a landline phone or internet connection; or, wirelessly via cellular links. A home security system is said to be fully wireless then if it is ‘wireless with cellular monitoring’.Let’s break it down:

What’s Wireless?

In a wired set-up, communication is done via wires which run through the power supply, control panel and sensors. In a wireless home security system, information is not transferred through wires or cables. Alarm signals are transmitted wirelessly between the different sensors and the control panel using proprietary radio frequencies. Proprietary? meaning that the system has a frequency different from other wireless devices so that they do not interfere each other.

What’s Cellular?

Cellular refers to the wireless approach to sending an alarm signal from the control panel to the outside. Many home security companies now offer the option of cellular monitoring with their wireless systems. With this type of monitoring, a cellular module is built-in to the control panel so that when the alarm goes off, the panel immediately sends a signal to the monitoring station using cellular and radio-based technology, the same way that text messages are sent.

Cellular pertains also to communications between the security system and a smart device. For example, the control unit can be programmed to send text alerts to the homeowner’s smartphone to report system activity.

Wireless with Cellular Monitoring

A fully wireless home security system ?a wireless alarm set-up inside the home plus cellular monitoring — is considered a best of both worlds scenario. Together in one package, they leverage each other’s strengths:

• Easy to install and use.
• More reliable, faster data transmission since the control panel operates like a cellphone on a network dedicated to the home alarm system.
• The cellular network, through smartphone and tablet applications, allows a homeowner to be constantly connected in real time to the alarm system and to other integrated home automation functions.
• Safer with no power and phone lines for potential intruders to cut to disable the system.
• Less vulnerable to power outages which affect wired set-ups.
