Monitored Alarm System Vs. Insurance Coverage
Recently, a few people I met decisively would not install an alarm system at home. Especially, they would not pay $30/month for monitoring. The reason they provided made me think and research. Now, really, why would one pay $30/month to an alarm monitoring company? If there is loss, insurance would cover. My research and reasoning resulted in the following:
Monitored Alarm system vs. Insurance Coverage
1. Robbery – attempt to take something of value from another person by use of force, threats or intimidation.
a) Preventative measures (security system):
Whether it is residential or commercial property, a panic (or holdup) button can help. Without making it obvious to the criminal, one can have police show up in minutes.
b) Reactive measures (insurance policy):
If police is not there and you do not have an alarm system to help you, do nor risk your life. Valuable goods are not worth your life. Moreover, if your property and belongings are insured, there is a great potential to get those covered by insurance.
Make sure you keep all necessary paper work to prove your loss. Always call police after the criminal is gone. It is also good to have a video surveillance system in action.
2. Burglary – unlawful entry to commit a theft.
a) Preventative measures (monitored alarm system):
Sound of alarm system often makes burglars retreat in panic. In fact, warning stickers on windows and doors often keep burglars out of your premises. However, there are smart burglars who know ins and outs security systems and are prepared for these challenges.
Make sure your alarm system is smarter that those.
b) Reactive measures (insurance coverage):
Hopefully, you are not trapped inside your premises when a burglar comes. It is always better to have an armed and monitored alarm system in place – you can arm it even when you stay inside.
Insurance would cover some loss. Again, make sure you have all the paper work, call police and make a report.
3. Fire – in any circumstance is devastating.
a) Preventative measures (fire alarm system):
In most cases, a properly installed alarm system with fire monitoring will notify fire station before it is too late?
Damage to property is possible but usually insignificant. Smoke, CO, gas and heat detectors are required to notify fire station in time;
An alarm system that makes early notice of fire allows time to evacuate and/or stop the fire.
b) Reactive measures (insurance policy):
If there was no fire alarm monitoring in place, the fire truck would come almost always too late.
Insurance companies usually cover the loss of up to maximum allowed limits. The owner needs to have a proof of purchase and appropriate value estimates with the company. It would also cover repair of your and neighbours property.
To summarize: A monitored alarm system and an insurance policy should work together as one. The goal of alarm system is to prevent or send early alert of an incident. Insurance policies are designed to cover losses that could not be prevented. Combining the two, brings you piece of mind that you deserve.

Swimming Pool Alarm $300 Only Swimming Pool Alarm That Protects Wearer From Drowning In ANY Bodies Of Water Protects Children Or Pets Near Water w/ Fun, Colorful Wristbands Get Immediate Audio Alerts If Your Pet Or Child Touches Water Easy To Set-Up, No Installation Required Waterproof And Play Tolerant Tags Wireless Range Up To 200 Ft. From Base Battery Lasts 3-4 Years The Colorful Wristband Instantly Sounds An Alarm If It's Submerged Perfect for children, non-swimmers, or pets, the Swimming Pool Alarm is the only pool alarm that the user can wear on their wrist and that will give immediate alerts if the wearer touches water. Considering that children and pets can drown is as few as 2 inches of water, this device gives parents or family members the added level of protection beyond just old fashioned supervision. If the wristband touches water, a loud alarm will automatically sound up to 200 feet away. Parents can quickly respond to the emergency and save their child or family member from injury or death. The Swimming Pool Alarm Provides Continuous Protection 24/7 The Swimming Pool Alarm is the only pool alarm that offers continuous protection to the wearer. Most swimming pool alarms must be turned on and off by whomever cleans the pool or when swimmers use the pool. Without an alarm activated, a non-swimmer could still fall in and no one would know it. These alarms also do not monitor lakes, kiddie pools, your neighbor's pool, or inflatable pools. The Swimming Pool Alarm lets parents and family members tag a specific non-swimmer or pet that may fall into any body of water. Protect Your Children From Drowning In Unmonitored Bodies Of Water Even though you have an alarm on your pool, your neighbor may not. That is what sets The Swimming Pool Alarm apart from other swimming pool alarms. Other swimming pool alarms only work on an enclosed areas or specific bodies of water. Usually you cannot set-up your swimming pool alarm to monitor a nearby lake, or your neighbor's kiddy pool. With The Swimming Pool Alarm, you attach the alarm directly to your child's or non-swimmer's wrist or a pet's paw. That means if he or she becomes submerged in ANY body of water, whether it is a lake, a nearby unmonitored pool, or the bathtub, the alarm will go off and you will be notified. Alarm Can Protect Multiple Bodies Of Water Such As A Neighbor's Pool Or Nearby Lake You Can Keep The Alarm On Even When Someone Is Cleaning Or Using The Pool To Protect Non-Swimmers The Alarm Is Body-Worn And Can Be Put On Any Non-Swimmer Other Pool Alarms NO NO NO Wireless Pool Alarm YES YES YES The Swimming Pool Alarm is not a substitute for diligent supervision or an adequate barrier to restrict the access of children to water hazards. Features: The Swimming Pool Alarm works with ALL Fresh Water, natural (lake, river and pond) or man made (pool, hot tub and pond) No installation required Quick set-up and testing A loud alarm instantly sounds at the Base Station when |
