Home Safety at Your Fingertips

Ohh, Memorial Day weekend! We’ve officially been in our home for 6 months — can you believe that?! Where does the time go? As we enter this weekend I feel… calm. Truly, I feel calm. Yes, we will be traveling to visit family and attend various celebrations, but I am breathing a breath of fresh air in the fact that I have not once hesitated on whether or not our home is safe while we are off living our busy lives.

I have to admit, looking back at our situation in our previous home, safety was certainly a concern, but not enough so that we did anything about it. There were many times where Chad was out of town for work and I was left alone with our children, and I just didn’t feel ‘safe.’ I would spend those days (and nights) worrying about a home intruder — just hoping that we would not have to deal with that type of situation. I’m thankful that those fears can now be put to rest.

See, while the kids and I are on the go this Memorial Day weekend, Chad will be off working the entire weekend. But we’ll both be able to monitor the safety and security of our home with Total Connect, the mobile app from Guardian Alarm.

Total Connect allows me to monitor the safety and security of our home when we’re away. I can control the handy lamp module that’s currently installed in our living room so I can effortlessly turn lights off and on (and thus give the appearance that we’re home even when we’re away). I can also check on that big package we’re expecting by live-streaming our Guardian Alarm camera. It’s so handy and easy to use.

I’ve long wondered what the fuss of automation in a security system was all about, but having the Total Connect app at my fingertips has truly changed our lives. Entering the house when I get home from Memorial Day festivities is made so much easier because I’m able to both disarm and unlock our back door with the push of a button.

While we’re off playing in the park, meeting up with friends for playdates, and enjoying the nice, long, weekend, Guardian Alarm will be taking care of the rest.

Now if only Guardian Alarm could help with keeping three crazy kids under control during all of these outings! Ha! I’m kidding, obviously, but I seriously wouldn’t mind if someone invented a teleportation device to effortlessly get us to-and-from our destinations without having to battle traffic!

How are you

 

keeping your home

 

safe and secure

 

this holiday?

    Happy 6 Month Home Anniversary! Leaving your home unattended can definitely cause worry for sure. Total Connect seems like a great way to look after your home without being at home. I know it eases your anxiety to have it. I’ve never heard of a security system like it before. The fact that you can just check into an app to check on your home to make sure everything is locked and okay is extremely convenient and I bet it gives you a peace of mind as well. When I buy a house, I’ll have to get Guardian Alarm myself and use this feature for sure.

    Oh wow, this is awesome! I live in a condo so I don’t necessarily need this. Condos are supposed to be “safer” since it is inside of a building that has a 24/7 security guard. But honestly, you never know. Someone can easily sneak in when someone is looking away or distracted and that’s all it takes. Thanks for sharing this!

    I haaate being home alone. I think an apartment-friendly security system would definitely make me feel better!

    We used to have Guardian. It was nice to have when my husband was gone to feel more secure with myself and the kids in the home at night.

    The worry about home intruders is probably my #1 concern when thinking about moving from our NYC apartment to the suburbs. I don’t know why I feel so safe several stories up – sure we have a gated entrance but people can still sneak in. But still, it’s nothing like being in a stand alone home, no way I could live in one without a top notch security system, this one sounds great and love the “smart” options like the app!! A must!!
